People's Liberation Army Navy |
Bernhard Zand wrote in Der Spiegel September 10, 2012: "One country that could give China good advice, a country whose historians are well versed in naval policies and in arms races on the high seas, is Germany. A century ago, Berlin stood where Beijing is now, as an emerging economic power that was admired, envied and feared. At the time, Germany wanted a navy that would broadcast its self-confidence to the world, one that could rival the world’s greatest naval force of the era, the British Navy. That plan almost succeeded. But it didn’t end well."
