I found this pic on a fanboy CG for the 052D, which shows some of the systems they'd put on their CG.
In the middle right, there seems to be a picture of a radar like the SMART, does anyone have any information on that? (Talking obviously about the real photo, not the CG)

The US exercises are informed by the many wars it fights. PLAN will not have that "advantage". China will invest more in pipelines and railways in Asia, including those trough Myanmar to avoid the excessively busy Malacca Straight for cargo going to or from South China,
Myanmar is the only place on the Indian Ocean where PLAN, perhaps, in the far future, might want to build a naval base..

I hope China can deploy its navy to Gwader in Pakistan, that would be a great move and symbolic success of sino-pak friendship, and I am sure our friendship will yield this result sometime in the future

even Russia and North Korea are scared of Chinas rise, only one country is truely happy and that is Pakistan, it will give China access to the Persian Gulf and will send a clear message to the enemys

Gwadar is a commercial port without halfway adequate protection from airfields, without a rail connection with China, so it will be a long time before it can become a naval base.
A port in Myanmar might earlier become a Chinese naval base, because a railway from Szechuan to a port in Myanmar is a mere 2000 km. Might be realized in twenty years or so. Myanmar might feel itself safer.

China will emulate the Zheng He expeditionary expansion routes.

First South China Sea, then Indian Ocean, all the while neutralizing the Japanese and American naval presence to constrain China's valuable and precious oil shipments and international shipping lane China's trade highly depends on.

Hahaha, Popeye, it is hard to see you "emotional" for a time.

The talks of "China expands influnce" always get mixed up by enthusiast's hypothesis, and enthusiansts dose not necessary to be a "diplomatics" who knows how to "glide through" - and then, that's when the hypothesis of "country A takes on country B" comes from.

As a Chinese citizen, I would surly be happy to see "the glorious old days re-appears", but I also knows too well that "the face-off" would never happen.

What's so good for "face-off" anyway?

But I do believe as realistic as Chinese people ACCEPT the true world (the world as it is); one day, the "world police" would ACCEPT the "respected rights" for others to freely conduct their own business also.

And that don't really requires a "face-off" to be realized.
