CMA CGM has been at the forefront of the shipping industry's adoption of LNG as a fuel to reduce GHG emissions. The company reported a 4% overall reduction in its CO2 emissions in 2020. The container line said it had reduced emissions per teu/km travelled by 49% over 2008 levels, with a target of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030. The line also plans to offer a biomethane-fuelled shipping service. Related: Applauding the shipping industry’s move to cleaner air and lower GHG emissions LNG has increased in popularity as a fuel choice, taking a growing share of the newbuild orderbook.

China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities — Background and Issues for Congress
Order Code RL33153 China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities — Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 12, 2008 Ronald O’Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities — Background and Issues for Congress Summary Concern has grown in Congress and elsewhere since the 1990s about China’s military modernization. Several of the U.S. Navy’s most expensive acquisition programs, as well as Navy initiatives for homeporting ships and for training sailors, are for developing or maintaining capabilities that could be useful or critical in countering improved Chinese maritime military capabilities in coming years. The issue for Congress addressed in this report is: How should China’s military modernization be factored into decisions about U.S. Navy programs? Several elements of China’s military modernization have potential implications for future required U.S. Navy capabilities. These include theater-range ballistic missiles (TBMs), land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs), anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), land-based aircraft, naval mines, submarines, surface combatants, amphibious ships, nuclear weapons, and possibly high-power microwave (HPM) devices. China’s naval limitations or weaknesses include capabilities for operating in waters more distant from China, joint operations, C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), long-range surveillance and targeting systems, anti-air warfare (AAW), antisubmarine warfare (ASW), mine countermeasures (MCM), and shipbuilding dependence on foreign suppliers. Observers believe a near-term focus of China’s military modernization is to field a force that can succeed in a short-duration conflict with Taiwan and act as an anti- access force to deter U.S.

The PLAN's ambitions include operating out to the first and second island chains, as far as the South Pacific near Australia, and spanning to the Aleutian islands, and operations extending to the Straits of Malacca near the Indian Ocean. Resource Needs as a Factor in China’s Strategy As China’s economy grows, dependence on secure access to markets and natural resources, particularly metals and fossil fuels, is becoming a more significant factor shaping China’s strategic behavior. Although China is expected to continue to rely on coal as its primary fuel source, consumption of petroleum and other liquid fuels will likely grow significantly due, in large part, to growth in the transportation sector. For example, automobile ownership in China is expected to rise from 27 million cars in 2004 to nearly 400 million by 2030.

China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S
China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities—Background and Issues for Congress (name redacted) Specialist in Naval Affairs May 12, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL33153 China Naval Modernization: Implications for U.S. Navy Capabilities Summary China is building a modern and regionally powerful navy with a limited but growing capability for conducting operations beyond China’s near-seas region. 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 U.S. defense planning. Observers of Chinese and U.S. military forces view China’s improving naval capabilities as posing a potential challenge in the Western Pacific to the U.S. Navy’s ability to achieve and maintain control of blue-water ocean areas in wartime—the first such challenge the U.S. Navy has faced since the end of the Cold War. More broadly, these observers view China’s naval capabilities as a key element of an emerging broader Chinese military challenge to the long- standing status of the United States as the leading military power in the Western Pacific. China’s naval modernization effort encompasses a broad array of platform and weapon acquisition programs, including anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs), anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), submarines, surface ships, aircraft, and supporting C4ISR (command and control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) systems.

Chinese Encounters with Foreign Ideas in the Self-Strengthening Movement (1861-1895)
Chinese Encounters with Foreign Ideas in the Self-Strengthening Movement (1861-1895) A paper prepared for: American Association of Chinese Studies Conference Oct. 13-14, 2012, Atlanta Daniel C. Palm, Ph.D. Dept. of History and Political Science Azusa Pacific University Azusa, CA 91702-7000 [email protected] (Do not copy or cite without permission) 1 Introduction Any consideration of China, whether by Chinese or Western writers, invariably begins with reference to China’s long history, and Chinese national security questions are no exception. A comprehensive review of 4000 years of Chinese security would no doubt focus on the pressures emanating from the Chinese periphery, from Tibetan populations to the West, Mongol and Uyghur populations to the Northwest and Manchus to the North, Burmese and Vietnamese in the South, alongside the ongoing potential for regional conflicts, often connected to internal rebellion or civil war. Modern scholars of Chinese national security questions would do well to offer attention to a hundred-year period that marked a truly pivotal moment within that 4000-year span. The nineteenth century marks a significant turning point in the history of Chinese security, requiring as it does serious attention to the regime’s dealings with the great powers of Europe, the United States, and Japan. The Qing Dynasty, in control, more or less, of the Empire since 1644, found itself at mid-century unable to avoid dealing with the foreign barbarians, and requiring wholesale reconsideration of its economic, diplomatic and military policies and procedures.1 The effort to bring change to these areas and modernize Chinese armed forces in particular is remembered as the Self-Strengthening Movement (洋務運動).

SRF Grant: 2014-0047. Distribution Distribution unlimited. Photography Credit: Chinese carrier Liaoning launching a J-15. PLAN photo. https://news.usni.org/2014/06/09/chinese-weapons-worry-pentagon. Approved by: June 2016 Dr. Eric Thompson, Vice President CNA Strategic Studies Copyright © 2016 CNA Abstract In November 2012, then president Hu Jintao declared that China’s objective was to become a strong or great maritime power. This report, based on papers written by China experts for this CNA project, explores that decision and the implications it has for the United States. It analyzes Chinese thinking on what a maritime power is, why Beijing wants to become a maritime power, what shortfalls it believes it must address in order to become a maritime power, and when it believes it will become a maritime power (as it defines the term). The report then explores the component pieces of China’s maritime power—its navy, coast guard, maritime militia, merchant marine, and shipbuilding and fishing industries. It also addresses some policy options available to the U.S. government to prepare for—and, if deemed necessary, mitigate— the impact that China’s becoming a maritime power would have for U.S. interests. i This page intentionally left blank. ii Executive Summary In late 2012 the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party announced that becoming a “maritime power” was essential to achieving national goals.

Although these capabilities are concentrated on operations in the near seas close to mainland China, with layers radiating outward, the PLA is also conducting increasing, albeit nonlethal, activities farther from China’s periphery, including in the Indian Ocean. Over the next decade and beyond, China’s naval and air power forces could assume a range of postures and trajectories. At a minimum, a greater diversity of out-of-area missions will depend on strengthening and broadening anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities. While China is likely to develop and acquire the necessary hardware should it elect to expend sufficient resources, “software” will be harder to accrue. policy implications: • The PLA will continue to focus on high-end A2/AD capabilities to secure China’s maritime periphery, along with its growing but low-intensity capabilities farther abroad.
