FREE REPUBLIC (http://www.freerepublic.com) FREEPER, JEFF HEAD GIVES US A LOOK AT CHINA'S RISING NAVAL STRENGTH. Alan Note: Additionally, the Chinese have taken over the management of almost every port at the end of every sea lane. Ships do not travel just anyhow, they follow "water lanes" similar to air corridors used by aircraft when flying from country to country or continent to continent. Think of these as sea or air "freeways". Having control of either or both ends of these, gives the Chinese huge strategic and even tactical power. They think long term, as evidenced in their huge investments in Africa, specially in countries with mining assets.
