Chapter 18 - Navy Construction and Development

Section 1 Naval Construction and Development Trend
Section 2 Naval Capability Requirements Under New Era Conditions
Section 3 Main Measures for Naval Construction and Development

The navy is an important part of the country's armed forces and has a very important position in the overall
situation of national security and development. After more than 70 years of development, the Navy has
grown from nothing, from small to large, from weak to strong, and from near seas to far seas. The
international military has become a modern maritime combat force that can effectively defend national
sovereignty, security, and development interests, and effectively complete diversified military tasks. Under
the conditions of the new era, the strategic environment and main tasks faced by the navy have undergone
major changes. How to build a powerful navy commensurate with the country’s status and fulfilling its
missions has become a major strategic issue that needs to be resolved urgently. Xi Jinping emphatically
pointed out: "On the journey of the new era, in the struggle to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation, the task of building a powerful People’s Navy has never been so urgent as it is today." The
strategic capabilities of the navy under the conditions of informatization and intelligence will accelerate the
modernization of the navy.

power and information power that can be mobilized for military purposes. Military force construction and
development, including the army, navy, air force, rocket force, strategic support force, joint logistics support
force, armed police force and reserve force, must be scientifically coordinated, strengthened management,
coordinated development, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of revolutionization,
modernization, and regularization.
