Compared with Japanese, China is a real maritime power. Can you give me a detailed comparison? Thanks.

China is just a coastal continental country, and it has never been a maritime power in history.

China has a long land border and many neighboring countries, among which there is more than one country with strong military strength. Therefore, China had to maintain a strong army, which doomed China to throw herself into the sea.

in contrast, Japan, as an island country, has not only the thinking of a maritime country, but also the thinking of a maritime nation and a profound tradition of the navy. In particular, it does not have to maintain a huge army. So it can throw itself into the sea.

If China engages in a naval competition with Japan, it will almost certainly be as thankless as the naval competition between Germany and Britain before the First World War.

Whether France was competing with Britain in the world or the former Soviet Union was wrestling with the United States. In the end, continental countries like France and the Soviet Union lost to maritime countries, because their national strength could not be maintained.

China should learn a lesson. Is it necessary to challenge the maritime hegemony of the world leader (after all, the United States is behind Japan) with gongs and drums before it really rises and is still in its infancy?

how should the goal of developing China's navy be positioned?

The navy is a service that burns money. Only by combining it with economic benefits can we achieve a balance between input and output and achieve sustainable and benign development.

instead of clinging to breaking through island chains in the western Pacific, we should look to the Indian Ocean in the west.

Africa is the future of China. Whether it is investment, or energy and raw material supply. In the next 1 years, the Indian Ocean will be the lifeline of China.

At least China's navy is not developed against the United States, but should be deployed in Asan's territory.
