Event: Naval Developments in Asia Workshop – Aug 9

Naval Developments in Asia Workshop 
Thursday, August 9, 2012
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

As the PLA Navy demonstrates genuine competence and professionalism on distant sea operations, it raises concerns among littoral states of the Indo-Pacific over the security implications of a PLA Navy that is becoming more expeditionary. Clearly, the introduction of modern amphibious ships, and soon an aircraft carrier force, is beginning to provide the PLA Navy with a modest power projection capability. This emerging capability is, in turn, creating a demand by littoral states for area denial capabilities, such as submarines and land-based aircraft with antiship cruise missiles. This workshop will explore this interaction.
