Lambasted the Korean peninsula, attracting the U.S. aircraft carrier. This seems to be a dangerous signal. Just look at the map will see, the US-ROK joint military exercise in the region is the Yellow Sea. This sea, in the geographically closest to the general map of China as the rooster's neck and throat area. Historically, the Chinese once the agricultural era of the "old empire" complete defeat of the Jiawu sea battle erupted in this area. After the complete loss of coastal defense, the Qing government to only to see the sea from here, eight-channel landing, easily line the heart of Beijing.
Mr. Wang Peiyun has just published "surging China Sea - the last of the ocean and late awakening," is such a "prophetic clock" as the book. His cries of "Chinese do not _set_ ambitious development strategy of the ocean there is no chance," and "Prosperity to the sea, back the sea is bad," China's coastal areas in the present case of constant alert, it could lead to Chinese readers think.
In traditional Chinese agricultural age, the sea is a natural line of defense. Even if there is always pirates, thief invaded coastal defense, but a large body of this agricultural country is like cattle, like cattle flies and mosquitoes, it is difficult to form effective impact. Western academics to look at the issue the position of Western Center, Columbus explored the "New World", da Gama "discovered" India, Magellan completed global navigation and other "Great Voyage" feat of the era, made a vivid depiction is also somewhat exaggerated. There are some basic facts which were ignored. From the beginning of the 15th century "Great Voyage" movement, until the Industrial Revolution before have not changed the law of economic cycles on the planet: China, India, the East is at the core center of production centers and wealth, while the ocean across the nation across the sea Foreign commercial trade, but the product is to the East to the West traffic only, if not from the Americas to grab the gold and silver, they are also business has stolen the "sea barbarians", or even not enough for the exchange of hard currency. Earlier conquest of the sea, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, because there is no industrial base, fully backed by the unfair trade of violence to survive, they first raised in China's coastal areas around the small-scale military conflict, the target is only a foothold, and then in the sea Trade and grab a slice of it. 1661, Zheng Chenggong, a family strength to defeat the Netherlands recover Taiwan, to explain those "barbarians at sea," the strength is very limited. Zheng family "anti Fuming" did not succeed, but in the very southeast coast has done to maintain trade order.

Chinese traditional geopolitical security in the main contradiction in the north mainland. Nomadic cavalry has been the biggest security risks of agricultural dynasty until the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi years, this has changed. In the agricultural era, the power of nomadic peoples from Asia and Europe to keep the edge of the center of the radiation, when faced with an effective counter oriental country, after marching to the West. Traditional Dark Ages in Europe, moved westward to shrouded in the shadow of nomads. Attila the Huns "God's whip", and the Mongols in general the clouds and then a wave of military oppression, the waves of European civilization has been deprived of effective infant development. "Age of Exploration" is to some extent Europeans account for survival, had to choose the adventure: the threat of land is too strong, they had to search for way out to the sea. Columbus sailing adventure, can be said to be Marco Polo Travels in the East and rich and wonderful rendering of the temptation, but more important driving force, or from Europe's own poverty and backwardness. These impoverished communities to earn a living, fully stimulate the spirit of adventure to be out.
"Uncharted Waters" brings the science and technology and trade and prosperity, indeed to Europe into a lasting vitality. Until the industrial revolution brewing in the English pattern of the world's major change began. The British defeated the Spanish, the Dutch pack, containing the French and conquered India, and then open three-masted warship arrived in China along the coast, this time the sophistication of Western civilization and national strength really start getting close to the East. Even so, from the economy that the GDP in 1820 Great Qing Dynasty nearly a third of total global economy, but also prove that agricultural civilization still has the powerful ability to create wealth. Unfortunately, the "scholar met the soldiers," also "clearly reasoned," then, not to mention the rich experience of the bandits and robbers? Behind does not necessarily take a beating, as long as the listener on the line. However, the armed forces of civilization and the rich are not protected, a wolf rampant in the world's most dangerous, wealth can become "someone else's pocket money", not even life insurance. Agricultural age, the natural barrier of maritime security at sea once they are armed to the teeth to break the barbarians, China, as a restrained type of large agricultural country, the security focus has been to the mainland, and almost ignorant of the sea state of things, can only suffer from a "few The change in the situation not the millennium, "the.

Macartney to China 100 years later, the British Empire's successor maritime hegemony the United States launched its own right on the sea. Mahan said, "no navy, we have expressed in a pinch will of the state, will become a giant with feet of clay made it clumsy useless gesture." Later, big change in the ocean, from the positive and negative verified This sentence keen foresight - as has a strong sea power, the rapid rise of the United States; the Opium War in China suffered humiliation even if the ruling group are still in the Hunkui and numbness in the narrow stick to the concept of the ocean picked up the pace, building the Navy full of loopholes, end of life and death Jiawu naval warfare in the defeat, which plunged into the abyss million catastrophe recovery.
Who participated in the battle to defend Dinghai Wei, standing in anger after the Opium War, wrote a hundred volumes of the "World annals." But this does not wake up the Chinese gentleman, gave Japan Wu Shiqi the Mongolian. In the agrarian age, "sea barbarian" Japan is still China, the "old empire" around bow Dimei, scheming was a tributary state to discuss the treatment. And by the sea hegemony of the industrial age, the Meiji Emperor Regent logos, with the fastest speed grind of the canine teeth, and finally in the "fortunes of a gamble," the Yellow Sea to the Chinese war of blood and tears of deep-seated unforgettable lesson.
"Humble the most intelligent, are most ignorant." Pampered Manchu nobles used to it, actually unaware of the barbarians who risk life and death in close proximity. Perhaps this is the history of wealth change, the strength of the dialectical law of conversion.

Mr. Wang Peiyun The book also offers many historical details. For example, Jiawu battle 8 years ago, the main rate of the Northern Navy warships patrol the ocean, had to stay in Nagasaki, Japan shipyard maintenance. At that time the Japanese navy's strength is still far inferior to the Qing Dynasty. However, when the Qing dynasty sailors bath to wet gown, Duangua and pants to the main gun barrel on a cool, he was then still the Navy's Togo Heihachiro Koro see in the eyes. It is said that the Japanese naval commander who was surprised a moment, "naval gun is the soul, how can such profanity?" Followed by a mysterious smile, "the Chinese Navy could carry off in one fell swoop hit!"
Chinese people must keep in mind "a giant with feet of clay" warning. Even if our goal is always to seek peace and development, but the war is far from being stopped in a sea of time, safeguarding peace and promoting development needs the support of strength, rather than empty slogans.
The industrial age the ocean is the flow of human civilization, the most convenient intermediary, China, the traditional agricultural country now has become "world factory", the total economy but also "the world's second", and a lot of people feel happy. However, look at the sea it! Read history! So far, the Chinese people, this does not mean that the number of maritime glory and dream. Did not find a solid position at sea before, blind optimism and short-sighted conservative means the greatest danger.
