Annual Report to the Congress
Military Power of the People's Republic of China
2007
Mandated by the FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act, this annual report discusses China's military and security strategies, technological advancements in its capabilities, military doctrine, and security issues in the Taiwan Strait.
Executive Summary:
China’s rapid rise over recent years as a regional political and economic power with growing global influence is an important element in today’s strategic landscape, one that has significant implications for the region and the world. The United States welcomes the rise of a stable, peaceful, and prosperous China. No country has done more to assist, facilitate, and encourage China’s national development and its integration in the international system. The United States continues to encourage China to participate as a responsible international stakeholder by taking on a greater share of responsibility for the stability, resilience and growth of the global system. However, much uncertainty surrounds China’s future course, in particular in the area of its expanding military power and how that power might be used.

Note on deadline for submitting Extended Continental Shelf Claims:
3 May 2009 is the deadline for countries to submit their claims of Extended Continental Shelf to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLSC). This is in accordance with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Art. 76.8 which states:
Information on the limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured shall be submitted by the coastal State to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf set up under Annex II on the basis of equitable geographical representation. The Commission shall make recommendations to coastal States on matters related to the establishment of the outer limits of their continental shelf. The limits of the shelf established by a coastal State on the basis of these recommendations shall be final and binding.
Presently, CLSC has received 11 from France, Britain, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Barbados. With less than one year remaining before the deadline date, there are still about 40 countries qualifying for making claims, not yet making their submissions. Three of the submissions took place from 2001-2004. The other 8 were received from 2005 to the present.
Vietnam has not submitted its claims to CLSC.
