BEIJING, March 20 (ChinaMil) -- The U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard released a revised maritime strategy entitled "A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower" on March 13, 2015. This is the first time for the U.S. military to revise its 2007 version maritime strategy.

　　Senior Colonel Du Wenlong, a researcher with the PLA’s Academy of Military Science (AMS), said in an interview with China Central Television (CCTV) that the new maritime strategy exaggerates China Threat and intends to further strengthen its strategic deployment in the Asia-Pacific region.

　　Du stressed that compared with its 2007 predecessor, the U.S. new maritime strategy continued to strengthen the U.S. military deployment in the Asia-Pacific region and take the deterrence, sea control, power projection and maritime security as the core of U.S. maritime power. But for the first time, the U.S. new maritime strategy puts forward such new concepts as “Indo-Asia-Pacific”, “All-Domain-Access” and “Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare”, and clearly lists the concept of “All-Domain-Access” as the first of the five essential capacities of the U.S. maritime power.

　　Yin Zhuo, director of the Chinese Navy Advisory Committee for Informatization, said the "All-Domain-Access” capability means that the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard want to dominate in all the six domains of air, sea, land, space, cyberspace and electromagnetic spectrum in future.

　　As for the “Indo-Asia-Pacific” concept, Du Wenlolng said that the paces for the U.S. strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific region is expanding, and the Indian Ocean region is also a main destination of the U.S. military operations.

　　According to Yin Zhuo, the U.S. has drawn the Asia-Pacific countries into different circles with the core circle being the U.S., followed by its three closest allies, namely Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Australia, from which the U.S. expects to get supports in any military operations.

　　The secondary circle is composed of the loose allies of the U.S., including Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand, etc,. And the third circle around the U.S. might includes Indonesia, Malaysia and so on. They are not the allies of the U.S., but they usually held military exercises with the U.S.

　　Yin Zuo pointed out that the current forward presence of the U.S. mainly depends on its allies, especially the support provided by Japan and Australia.

　　In addition, although the U.S. is still the strongest power in the Indian Ocean, it increasingly asks for help from India and expects that India can enter Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea to restrict China, Yin Zhuo added.

　　"The new marine strategy is also a strategy to ask for military budget and a strategy to exaggerate China Threat,” analyzed Du Wenlong.

　　Du pointed out that if the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps develop according to their previous shipbuilding plans and forward presence plans, a large amounts of resources will be consumed, so, if there were no exaggeration of China Threat, there should have been no sufficient evidences and excuses for the U.S. to establish military bases and deploy its new-type forces.

　　In other words, without the exaggeration of China Threat, it is difficult for the U.S. military to achieve its strategic deployment in the Asia-Pacific region, Du Wenlong added.
