Beyond the Wall: Chinese Far Seas Operations
"This volume is the product of a groundbreaking dialogue on sea-lane security held between People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy and U.S. Navy scholars at the Naval War College in August 2013, with additional material from a related conference, 'China's Far Seas Operations,' hosted by the China Maritime Studies Institute in May 2012. At that time the political climate in China was uncertain, in the shadow of the Bo Xilai crisis and of the impending transition of power between the Hu and Xi regimes; accordingly the PLA Navy, though invited to participate in the 'Far Seas' conference, ultimately declined to do so. This was not entirely surprising. Attempts by various agencies of the U.S. Navy up to that time to engage in discussions to advance maritime cooperation between China and the United States had been met with lukewarm responses at best. But at a maritime security dialogue in Dalian in September 2012 Senior Capt. Zhang Junshe of the PLA Navy Research Institute, a key contributor to this volume and to the success of the academic cooperation between our two institutes, approached Peter Dutton to tell him that everything had changed. China's new leadership wanted the PLA Navy to engage the U.S. Navy actively and to discuss openly all relevant issues, with the aim of advancing cooperation between the two navies. Since that time members of the China Maritime Studies Institute have engaged members of the PLA Navy Research Institute in discussions on a rich variety of maritime topics, leading to advances in understanding between our two institutes and our two navies."

No Substitute for Experience: Chinese Antipiracy Operations in the Gulf of Aden
"The twenty-sixth of December 2012 marked an important date in Chinese military history--the fourth anniversary of China's furthest and most extensive naval operations to date, the ongoing antipiracy deployments in the Gulf of Aden. In the first-ever simultaneous three-fleet public display, China's North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet, and South Sea Fleet all held 'open day activities.' […] Over the past four years, the People's Liberation Army Navy [PLAN] has deployed nearly ten thousand personnel on thirty-seven warships with twenty-eight helicopters in thirteen task forces. Over the course of more than five hundred operations, these forces have protected more than five thousand commercial vessels--Chinese and foreign in nearly equal proportion, the latter flagged by more than fifty nations. They have 'successfully met and escorted, rescued and salvaged over 60 ships.' Ships saved from pirates by PLAN ships include four transports loaded with World Food Programme cargo. Beijing has rightly been recognized for this contribution: 'The escort in the Gulf of Aden provided by the Chinese naval task force is a strong support in cracking down [on] Somali piracies [sic] for the international community' Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the United Nations (UN), has been quoted as declaring, 'which reflects China's important role in international affairs.' In a new era of international interaction, the PLAN has cooperated with counterpart vessels from over twenty foreign countries 'to exchange information regarding piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali sea area.'"
