CMSI Translations #6: Building a World-Class Navy in a Comprehensive Way: It\u27s Logic in Theory, History, and Practice
Get PDFBuilding a world-class navy in a comprehensive way is a vivid embodiment and concrete manifestation of the Chinese Communist Party\u27s goal of building a strong military in the new era, as expressed in the domain of naval building and operations. This is both a major theoretical issue and practical issue. When it comes to realizing the centenary military building goal and creating a new situation via naval modernization, this will have major and far-reaching importance. [We must] deeply understand its internal logic in theory, history, and practice to accelerate naval transformation and development, and elevate at-dea deterrence and combat capabilities.https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cmsi-translations/1005/thumbnail.jp

What Next for Japan and the Republic of Korea in the East China Sea? The Law of the Sea Perspective
Get PDFIn 1974, Japan and the Republic of Korea (RoK) concluded a joint development agreement concerning the continental shelf where their respective maritime claims overlapped. However, there has been no oil or gas production from the joint development zone. Therefore, after five decades of the agreement being in force, and because it can be unilaterally terminated after 2028, it is appropriate to consider what happens next for Japan and RoK in the East China Sea. Looking forward, the authors consider that the framework for post-2028 could take one of three forms: maintaining the status quo, terminating the joint development agreement, or strengthening or modifying the agreement. This study examines geopolitical and legal factors in considering these options and highlights the types of changes required to strengthen the joint development regime between Japan and RoK in the East China Sea
