China's geopolitical characteristics, which is different from Britain, Japan that pure state, the right is also different from the former Soviet union, like Germany's terrestrial power countries. China is both mainland type country, and there's long coastline, and almost three decades, China's rapid economic development mainly concentrated in southeast coastal economic vitality, so China both traditional terrestrial power countries' strategic depth, and have the long term demand Marine rights.
