Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 國際事務與戰略研究所碩士班 === 99 === Since after the economic reform, China trying to redefined and develop it''s maritime strategy. There was "no question" the Chinese navy was growing in capability and capacity. From the process of modernization of People''s Liberation Army Navy, this thesis is to analyze PLAN’s aircraft carrier ambition how to influence and transform the Chinese naval strategy. Previous researches are paying more attention on hardware development and purpose of carrier building, but Chinese sea power ideology is playing a significant role in this progress. This thesis will link up these two elements. As result, I find out that Chinese aircraft carrier is an end product, by integrating from United States, French and Russia''s carrier technologies, and absorb the accomplishment which had build up by these pioneer 70 years ago. PLAN no longer follow the steps of Russian Navy, but the path by its own. This will reflect from it''s first aircraft carrier, which will refer to French, but Russian. Conflict between surface warship (especially carrier) and submarine are no longer an issue, is just an outcome of financial and technology incompetence. This already solve when China economy stand up to world top 3 and ranked in top 10 Most Powerful Countries.
