The Development History and Basic Experience of the"Great Ocean"Strategy of the People's Republic of China
Both the awareness of the"land superior to sea"and the implementation of the government's"policy of maritime embargo"made China's marine industry fall into a miserable situation of entire decline and backwardness in the later period of Chinese feudal society and the modern century.Since the founding of New China,facing the complex domestic and international circumstances,the Communist Party of China has constructed three marine strategies,namely the defensive marine strategy striving for"survival"as its objective from 1949 to 1978,the open marine strategy seeking"prosperity"as its principal line from 1978 to 2013,and the outward-oriented marine strategic system striving for"strength"as its core from 2013 to the present.Thus,China's modern marine undertakings has entered a new historical period of comprehensive recovery,rapid development and sharp rise.Practice has proven that it is the support and foundation for the rise of China as a maritime power in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China,to bear in mind the tragedy of China's sea,to follow the continuously developing and innovative"great ocean"strategic theory as the fundamental principle by insisting on development as the first priority.
