There is no extra added benefits for China to refrain from such acts while US and her allies have maximum possible freedom to act such. So it is absolutely logical for China to do the same thing against US to add more costs and pressure for the US for such acts whereas in the past there was no costs for US. At the same time, telling US that China doesn't agree to US surveillance in her EEZ costs almost nothing while sending the main message across up the chain of command, so why wouldn't she say that? That's no brainer. But getting the agreement is a different matter of course.

But to be fair, I can allow simpleton's need for hypocrisy or some such simple emotional labels here. It might be that saying it a few thousand times would somehow relieve the emotional pain of living in a simpleton's universe where complex things are linear and black and white binary LoL.
Correct, there is no added benefit for China to refrain from hypocritical acts. I think China SHOULD hypocritically put sensors wherever it can that makes tactical and strategic sense. HOWEVER, let's not idiotically delude ourselves into thinking that since it is tactically and strategically sound for China to expand its sensor network, that therefore it is not hypocritical if it expands into other countries' EEZs without permisison. I can allow for low IQ fanbois to desire tit for tat countermoves and to want to spite the foot that kicks them, but let's not pretend China will then have any kind of moral high ground. It's all a matter of national interest, nothing more or less, and countries will say and do whatever they can get away with. Your problem is that you still think China's sh*t somehow smells sweeter than any other country's sh*t.

Probably you are back to prescribing Viagra to seniors mode somewhere LoL.

I know you are a little to slow to pick up, throwing around words which you didn't actually look up to see what they actually mean LoL.
The bottom line here is as long as China is consistent in what she says, or didn't say, and behave accordingly, there is no basis whatsoever to smear China with any such thing as that remotely resembled hypocrisy and such.
She didn't claim to uphold a set of values or moral principles on behalf of humanity in her protest to US excessive surveillance in her EEZ, but nonetheless those sets of values and principles are the ones some countries publicly professed to uphold and maintain, all the time, to compare and point it out.
Basis of her consistent argument and action was an effort to counter her national security threat, plain and simple. Not a certain set of moral values that certain highfalutin entities proselytize.

Accusing China as a hypocrite, no, not just yet LoL.
What you can accuse China of is that of a failure to come up with an effective and clear narrative that can instill a dull sense of having higher faculties in emotional simpletons crying hypocrisy without actually understanding the word LoL

I see you are not only too small of a littleman to settle for the last word, you have to try and get some more idiocy in to boot. Your latest dribble just demonstrates how you just don't know how to logic. If China protests US use of Chinese EEZ without China's permission, and then proceeds to use another country's EEZ without that country's permission, it doesn't matter what China says or doesn't say about it or how much verbal idiocy you spew onto SDF, China is being hypocritical. I think even someone like you has to at least have the minimum amount of brain cells necessary to be able to comprehend this basic fact of human existence. Or am I being too generous in my estimation. Of course China wouldn't ultimately care, as the fact of it's being hypocritical is not very materially relevant to China's interests or its future behavior (same as the US), but it apparently is VERY relevant to you, as you keep trying (and failing) so very hard to make China look like an angel and keep its honor from being "smeared". ROFLMAO This has been my main point all along. Butthurt fanbois with slow wits and not a trace of reason or common sense caring so hard about hypocrisy and avoiding the appearance of it yet condoning the committing of it nonetheless with all their hearts, minds, and souls.

@Ironman the new catamaran doesn't look anything like submarine tender. China just launched 2 new submarine tender .As for logistic again China has launched bunch of new logistic ship and catamaran survey ships .This ship is bigger look just like Tagos like they if quack like a duck it is er Surtass

Continuing on the theme of ASW, the best anti submarine is another submarine .For that to occur China need both doctrinal change and design of quieter more lethal submarine.Both of these effort are now underway.

The day you can passively listening to acoustic is over. Now they just lurking around the known potential opfor base and lay wait, track and tail any boomer

Between major decisions on a new deployment to Afghanistan and a wholly new Persian Gulf crisis, not to mention the boiling crises in Syria and North Korea, Washington strategists can be forgiven for putting China’s naval buildup on the back burner. As Beijing fills the “near seas”—and now the “far seas”—with new frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers, the

. Moreover, the tendency of Washington analysts has been, rather predictably, to exaggerate the potential threat posed by China’s naval buildup; this columnist

against that tendency.

Objective assessments of China’s rapid naval modernization must be based on the best possible information regarding the Chinese Navy’s objectives and future plans. An
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
published as the lead article in a prestigious naval research journal and written by research personnel at the Qingdao Submarine Academy [海军潜艇学院] provides such a baseline document to evaluate Beijing’s developing undersea ambitions. Some of the revelations detailed below are sure to exhilarate Washington’s many hawks, such as the declared imperatives for Chinese submarines as “offensive forces [进攻性兵种]” to operate on “exterior lines [外线兵种]” to “actively defend the ‘Belt and Road’ [积极维护 ‘一带一路’],” to mix it up with adversary ASW forces to gain intelligence [侦察] about enemy doctrine and capabilities, not to mention hints regarding the future overseas supply [海外保障] of Chinese submarines and expected emphasis on developing nuclear submarine capabilities as an “assassin’s mace” [杀手锏] for far-seas operations.

Yet before broaching these points, one should stop and sincerely congratulate the Chinese Navy for so openly discussing such issues. The paper under discussion here represents a significant stride forward for Chinese military transparency, and most Western naval strategists would admit that such a document, while quite unusual in the Chinese context, would not be out of place in U.S. Navy doctrinal statements. In other words, China is hardly the only country to have grandiose undersea ambitions—even if they are still fairly new to the game.

With a nod to the history of the PLA Navy and its unique experience with submarines, the Qingdao Submarine Academy (hereafter QSA) authors assert that a new era requires new thinking, and so they wish to promote transformative concepts and innovation. They suggest that two major ideas from the past need to be shelved and replaced. One idea that dates from the PLA Navy’s strategy of “coastal defense [近海防御]” is the notion that submarines are primarily defensive platforms that have the primary mission of “watching the house and guarding the courtyard [看家护院].” Another dated strategic idea that the QSA authors wish to dispense with is the strategic concept that Chinese submarines should only operate “near to the island chain [岛连附近活动].” Instead, this piece advocates strongly for an expansive, even global submarine strategy, as implied by the research paper’s title: “Several Thoughts on Advancing the Submarine Force to the Far Seas [推进潜艇兵力走向远洋的几点思考].”

As for developing a rationale for this expanding role, the article reliably cites the pronouncement of the Eighteenth Party Congress that China should become a maritime power [海洋强国]. Also predictably, it includes discussion of China’s booming maritime trade and the new requirements to protect this trade. “As national maritime interests are expanding continuously, the ocean’s significance for the survival of the Chinese nation is more and more important,” the QSA authors explain. Without mentioning the “Malacca Dilemma” explicitly, the vulnerability of China’s lengthy maritime “strategic energy corridor [能源战略通道]” is outlined. They assert, moreover, that China faces a definite external threat and must therefore expand it maritime strategic space, observing: “At bases in both Northeast Asia and in Southeast Asia, as well as the base on Guam, the US has deployed advanced air and sea forces in order to control our country’s maritime passages out into the Pacific. By constructing strategic arcs to contain our country, our space for maritime activities has been strictly confined.”

It is, moreover, asserted that the United States and Japan have developed an elaborate antisubmarine system that aims to a “permanent blockade [永远地封锁]” of Chinese submarines within the first island chain. At this point, the authors state emphatically: “[China’s] submarine forces must not only go the Asia-Pacific, [but] they must also go to the Indian Ocean, and then they must go to the Atlantic and to the Arctic Oceans. In this way, the current operational problems of submarine operations can be alleviated and it will also provide a vast maritime strategic space for our country’s rise […可有效缓解我国当面海区潜艇兵力活动困难, 也能为我大国崛起提供广阔的海洋战略空间].” Elsewhere, I have pointed out the likelihood that Chinese periscopes will soon be found in the Atlantic, and here is rather concrete evidence of such intentions directly from the Chinese submarine force itself.

If that’s not a big enough bombshell (or depth charge), this document contains another hint that China might pursue foreign basing for its submarine force. This column

to other bits of Chinese evidence suggesting this possibility. Here, the QSA researchers argue: “Currently, our submarine base ports are all located along our ocean borderline, which is rather far from the distant seas submarine operational sea areas. Moreover, the speed of the submarine force is relatively slow, especially conventional submarines, so that the submarines’ actual operating time is too short. This significantly diminishes the actual impact of the submarine force going to the distant seas.” Interestingly, a similar argument is often made regarding U.S. submarine-force basing patterns with respect to transit times and time on station.

Then, the Chinese analysts make the rather startling assertion that “as the submarine force ‘goes out,’ it is necessary to insist on overseas support, and also the principle of economizing the force. The Navy command should secure equipment and logistics for the submarine force abroad for the purpose of increasing the time of the submarine force in the distant seas [潜艇兵力 ‘走出去’ 必须坚持海外保障, 节约兵力的原则, 海军指挥机关应能实现在海外对潜的装备和后勤保障, 才能有效地提高潜艇兵力在远海大洋的存在时间].” On the one hand, this language permits a simple continuation of current practices, wherein the Chinese submarine force makes ever more frequent port visits abroad. However, the notion of “overseas support” [海外保障] and the plausible rationale of simply trying to save on fuel, wear and tear, and so on does seem to open the door to the semipermanent basing of Chinese submarines in distant countries.

Yet another fascinating and innovative part of this exposition of future Chinese submarine doctrine is the twin emphasis on realistic training, as well as the more sensitive guidance regarding intelligence gathering and interactions with adversary forces. The authors advise that Chinese submarines operating in the distant seas must “drill for real combat [实战训练],” undertaking training for submarine-versus-submarine battle, as well as clashes of submarines against surface ships and, not surprisingly, submarines against aircraft carrier battle groups too. Somewhat less obvious, however, is the recommendation to practice submarines laying mines [潜艇布雷], submarine defense against enemy ASW aircraft [潜艇对敌反潜飞机防御], submarine delivery of special forces [潜艇输送特种兵] and submarine intelligence gathering [潜艇侦察]. They must be prepared, according to the analysis, to penetrate enemy harbors and operate near straits. In one of the most interesting passages, the authors underline the importance of gathering “temperature and climactic data, so that our environmental databases and our tactical sonar databases have a main foundation for wartime target discernment and thus provide the information guarantee for future combat.” In another surprising candid passage, they explain: “In the course of undertaking far seas operations, there well may be close interactions that are intentional and involve potential adversaries, for example track and trail operations, or evading tracking operations, etc. Such contacts could also involve familiarization with adversary weapons systems, basic tactics, and anti-submarine patterns [可有意识地与作战对手进行接触, 跟踪与摆脱等, 熟悉其武器性能, 基本战法, 反潜样式].” These operations “may help to accumulate experience with [near] combat [conditions], creating a basis for future defensive combat in the far seas.”

A final illuminating point from this Chinese naval analysis concerns the future mix of conventional and nuclear submarines and their respective roles in far-seas operations. The authors note that the current Chinese submarine force looks like neither the American model (all nuclear boats), nor even the Russian model (nuclear and conventional with an emphasis on the former). The Chinese submarine force has, like Russia, both types of submarines, of course, but the main force is comprised of increasingly quiet and stealthy diesel-electric (conventional) submarines [常为主]. The article states clearly that both types of submarines have certain advantages that Chinese naval strategists must study and implement into its undersea strategy. However, there is a revealing recommendation: that China must avoid having nuclear submarines that constitute a “large effort put to small use [大材小用]” and conventional submarines that are “kept constantly on the run [疲于奔命].”

In other words, there is a strong suggestion here that China will begin a reorientation of its submarine force toward prioritizing nuclear-submarine deployments to meet new far-seas mission requirements. Indeed, the penultimate sentence of the QSA analysis asserts emphatically that nuclear submarines will form “the ‘assassin’s mace’ force of our navy’s expansion into the deep oceans for defense combat.”

This Chinese naval analysis, undertaken by the Qingdao Submarine Academy, offers firm evidence of China’s evolving and increasingly global undersea ambitions. For American strategists, there certainly are troubling implications—for example, the likelihood that a military conflict that ignited in the Western Pacific could spread rapidly into the Atlantic sea area, a

in more detail recently using an additional, credible Chinese evidentiary source. More obvious still are the dangers inherent in the increased intensity of cat-and-mouse games, which are set to become ever more common across the world’s oceans. Such dangerous interactions could cause tragic accidents, and also fuel crises and rivalry in unpredictable and costly directions.

There is substantial evidence in this piece that the PLA Navy has an acute sense of threat perception. The authors matter-of-factly state: “We are facing the United States’ nuclear blackmail, nuclear menace, and conventional threats [面临着美国的核讹诈、核威胁及常规威胁].” To state the obvious, exaggerating the threat or challenge posed by China’s submarine force could well intensify rivalry, and thus make the problem even worse. It is worth emphasizing that all points of doctrine advocated in this piece are ones routinely practiced by Western navies, including obviously the U.S. Navy. China is hardly alone in coming to the conclusion that formidable and wide-ranging undersea power can be an effective tool to “influence the judgements, decisions, and actions of target state authorities [影响目标国家当局的判断, 决策和行动].”

Deterrence, defense of widespread and legitimate economic interests, as well as cooperative maritime security endeavors, are all also major themes of this important doctrinal statement for the future Chinese submarine force. Thus, American strategists should take this revelation regarding Chinese undersea ambitions in stride, maintaining an open mind with respect to a greater Chinese naval presence on and indeed under the world’s oceans, even as the United States itself must energetically seeks to maintain robust undersea warfare capabilities into the future.

I see you are not only too small of a littleman to settle for the last word, you have to try and get some more idiocy in to boot.

Hey butthurt LoL.
Glad to hear from you.
It looks like we misunderstood you the whole time failing to see the crazy bitch on heat tirade on and on and on LoL.
No wonder you are butthurt cranky all the time as we missed the cues.
So insecure that you must have been quickly deleting your own inner gay thoughts LoL.
A lot of people don't care about identity issues you know.

LoL butthurt the fact of the matter remains you cannot come up with a valid logical basis to counter China's consistency in her action and position, while we are being entertained by your bitchy gayish emotional outbursts LoL. Some emotional midget superman LoL. Oh wait how about the "overseas mamasan" butthurt? LoL
Everybody can validly say US is a hypocrite, while your emotional butthurt outbursts cannot even correctly understand and use the word appropriately while stuck in rapid hissy fits in a loop without fail. Learn the word first butthurt LoL.
