關於中國航母

中國航母甲板驚現艦載機 猜測四起。人其實很有趣，經常會昧於現實講出一些自我安慰的話。留給讀者自行玩味，純粹是看到底下相關新聞的標題而有此感想。

這篇由美國陸軍戰院戰略研究所 (SSI, Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College) 撰寫的文章 Op-Ed: China's Aircraft Carrier: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly 才算中肯。在此節錄兩段話說明中國為何要發展海軍。

China's pursuit of an aircraft carrier capability indicates that the Chinese also understand that international peace comes with a price — it has to be made, and paradoxically, with the backing of force.

和平是要以武力作為後盾。

China's “century of humiliation” has taught the Chinese a hard lesson — if you are weak, you will be bullied. A prosperous China must have a strong military.

如果一個國家積弱不振，只會被強國霸凌。

這是我目前見過最為持平的一篇文章，它充分了解到中國如此做的歷史因素。透過歷史，我們才能展望未來。
