Abstract
China has generally been a powerful empire throughout history. Following the Industrial Revolution, modern Western governments gained new military capabilities that enabled them to advance in the seas. In the middle of the 19th century, China's seaside coasts, which for centuries provided the vast expanse of oceans, secured the Chinese empire from the southern and southeastern frontiers, becoming an area of ​​increased vulnerability to Western colonial powers. By the nineteenth century the industrial revolution of seaborneism had become a hallmark of great powers. The British Navy and other Western colonial powers played a key role in defeating China in the middle of the 19th century. In the modern era, in general, a historical pattern has emerged in that the great powers are often maritime powers. This paper examines the evolution of the Chinese Navy and concludes that China's wealth and interest expansion over the past three decades has expanded Beijing's resources and security needs to become a naval power.
