      A few thoughts on tonnage: There's been wide discussion recently on the size of the Chinese Navy, largely driven by a recent DoD report's statement that the PLA Navy is now the "largest navy in the world" on the basis of its number of ships. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/09/02/trump-promised-350-ship-navy-china-actually-built-it/ …

      possible framing: - I don't think you build a navy this large unless you have plans to use it - and there is no use for a navy this large that is not some combination of maintaining globally projected hegemony or fighting the US Navy

          Mostly brown water navy. Designed to fight an asymmetric battle vs. the USN (and it might work, miracles happen) close in to Chinese shores... and their economy depends on global long-haul shipping.

          after naval enthusiasts commented in replies at Length and noted that China is not building any carrier groups I am revising downward my belief that power projection has anything to do with this so combination of area denial + giant empty city-style investment more likely? idk

          my theory is that they want to turn Africa into their manufacturing center (the way the USA did with China) and they want to be able to maintain shipping routes in defiance of UN resolutions about human rights and environmental damage

          I think “protect resource imports from Africa” is a strong base theory - whatever the particular scenarios they envision. You can always come up with demand from somewhere, but you can’t do that with supply.
