Chinese Navy of 2035: How Many Warships? Which Types? China will be a Asian Pacific Regional Hegemon by 2035.
Chinese PLAN and BRICS Plus within the Pacific Region. By Tim Tufuga
China and the Chinese People’s liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is expected to be the Asia
Pacific Blue Water Military Hegemon by 2035. The Solomon Islands has become the
foothold for the Chinese PLAN into the Pacific region.
Samoa, as the Polynesian central Pacific strategic position will be considered an
important strategic military port for the Chinese PLAN by 2035 as the Strings of Pearls
regional policy has aimed to woo the Samoan Government to enjoin the Chinese
geostrategic ambitions which will mutually reward the Samoan underdeveloped
economic position moving forward.
With the current Ukrainian conflict, the Sino-Russian relations has been considered
strategically important for many non-aligned Nations which would include Samoa and
Solomon Islands. BRICS economic Bloc has become crucially important as the Russian
economy has been buoyed despite the European Union and the Western World
Economic punitive punishment against Russian which has had very minimal impact
upon the Russian economic position, primarily due to BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China
and Brazil) economic bloc.
All the while, during the Ukrainian conflict, the BRICS has
grown in influence than before the Ukrainian conflict. The economic sanctions
ineffective impact upon the Russian economy has exemplified the resilience of the
Russian economy against Western sanctions. BRICS has been viewed as the reason why
the Western economic sanctions has failed miserably.
In the meantime, BRICS has new applicants from many non-aligned Nations, primarily
from the Gulf States, Northern African States, Central and South American States, and
some Asian States. The expanded BRICS is expected to become BRICS PLUS.
As BRICS PLUS expands, within the BRICS sphere of influence include the Pacific region.
Thus far, Samoa and the Solomon Islands have been considered favourably by the
Chinese, and hence, by BRICS PLUS, since the Samoans and Solomon Islanders are
considered to be less anti-Chinese compared to other Pacific Island Nations.
Watch this
space as Samoa considers their geo-political position as the BRICS economic Bloc
morphs into a military alliance which will consider the Pacific region to be of crucial
importance for BRICS Plus geostrategic and geopolitical sphere of influence within the
next half century.
In the meantime, PLAN has pricked the senses of Pacific regional senses, and on top of
the most likely regional friends for BRICS Plus include Solomon Islands and Samoa.
