Maritime Probes
The Statesman Siliguri
|June 23, 2025
China's latest naval maneuvers in the western Pacific are a sharp reminder that great power rivalry is no longer confined to the pages of strategy documents – it is playing out in real-time on contested waters.
-
The concurrent deployment of both Chinese aircraft carriers, the Liaoning and Shandong, near Japanese maritime zones marks a clear departure from previous patterns of military signaling. The intensity, duration, and scope of the exercises, including over 500 aircraft landings and close intercepts of Japanese surveillance planes, underscore a shift from symbolic presence to demonstrative assertion.
What stands out is not simply the show of force, but the timing and precision of the operation. With Washington's strategic bandwidth currently stretched by developments in West Asia, Beijing appears to be "testing the waters" of regional resistance – especially the resilience of the US-Japan alliance.
