China's Daring Vanguard: Introducing Sanya City's Maritime Militia
6/28/2016 China’s Daring Vanguard: Introducing Sanya City’s Maritime Militia Center for International Maritime Security ASIA-PACIFIC, TERRITORIAL AND LAW OF THE SEA DISPUTES CHINA’S DARING VANGUARD: INTRODUCING SANYA CITY’S MARITIME MILITIA NOVEMBER 5, 2015 | ANDREW ERICKSON | 1 COMMENT By Andrew S. Erickson and Conor M. Kennedy The following is the first in a five-part series meant to shed light on Hainan Province’s maritime militia. For decades, these irregular forces have been an important element of Chinese maritime force structure and operations. Now, with Beijing increasing its capabilities, presence, and pushback against other nations’ activities, in the South China Sea (SCS), Hainan’s leading maritime militia elements are poised to become even more significant. Yet they remain widely under- appreciated and misunderstood by foreign observers. Read the introduction to the article series here, which offers a general background on China’s maritime militia http://cimsec.org/chinas-daring-vanguard-introducing-sanya-citys-maritime-militia/19753 1/19 6/28/2016 China’s Daring Vanguard: Introducing Sanya City’s Maritime Militia and explains its growing importance. Such lack of understanding is increasingly risky for U.S. policy-makers, planners, and military operators. This is particularly the case given recent, long-overdue American expression of determination to continue Freedom of Navigation Operations (FONOPS) in accordance with international law near Chinese-occupied and -augmented features in the Spratlys. As demonstrated by apparent maritime militia operations in proximity to USS Lassen when it sailed near Subi Reef on 27 October 2015, Beijing may well see maritime militia as a tool with which to make FONOPS increasingly uncomfortable for U.S.
