BBC News reports: "China is planning to boost the size and sophistication of its naval power, the head of the Chinese navy told state news agency Xinhua."
Comment: This is a very important development. If we foresee a time when countries from Asia invade the Middle East then it's likely that China will be a large part of that military force. The big problem with this scenario is that China is landlocked on the western boarder, surrounded by mountains that would make it very difficult to move a large army towards the region. If China is ever to be in a position to project force into the Middle East it will have to develop substantial air and sealift capabilities.
