China Naval modernization : Implications for Navy Capabilities Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs August 1, 2018. Congressional Research Service 7-5700. RL33153. China Naval modernization : Implications for Navy Capabilities Summary The question of how the United States should respond to China 's military modernization effort, including its Naval modernization effort, is a key issue in defense planning and budgeting. China has been steadily building a modern and powerful navy since the early to mid-1990s. China 's navy has become a formidable military force within China 's near-seas region, and it is conducting a growing number of operations in more-distant waters, including the broader waters of the Western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and waters around Europe. Observers view China 's improving Naval capabilities as posing a challenge in the Western Pacific to the Navy's ability to achieve and maintain control of blue-water ocean areas in wartime.
