What advantages does building a maritime power bring to China?

The so-called maritime power, in the final analysis, the ultimate goal is to obtain space and materials to support the development of the country. Among them, the value of space is reflected in two aspects, one is safe space, and the other is market space. Goods and materials are because in the modern world, sea transportation is the most important mode of transportation, and because of the existence of high seas, sea transportation becomes extremely convenient, which can effectively obtain the market and resources needed by the country.

The main purpose of building China into a maritime power is to obtain enough overseas resources to support the country's development, which can be seen from the offshore oil transportation in China. The second is to get enough market space, because shipping is the most important mode of maritime transportation, so it can effectively compete for overseas markets. Third, safe space. China coastal economic zone can be effectively protected by building a powerful maritime force. At the same time, we can use the advantage of free navigation on the high seas to push the local military forces away from home, and we can obtain effective means to directly attack the enemy's home.
