Summary |
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has become increasingly willing to project military power overseas while coercing and co-opting countries into accepting the objectives of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Beijing's greater willingness to flex its muscles, both politically and militarily, is supported by its overseas investments in critical infrastructure, which provide the People's Liberation Army (PLA) with the logistical enablers needed to project military power beyond the 'first island chain' in the Western Pacific. 'Controlling the seas in the region, leaping across the ocean for force projection' is the term Chinese naval commentators use when referring to the PLA Navy's bid to project power across the world. Australia should build its research and analytical capacity to better understand the nexus between the CCP and SOEs. That due diligence, building on open-source research conducted for this report, will better illuminate the PRC's global expansion, potential grey-zone operations and the companies and individuals involved |
