• Controlling the global ocean enables the projection of military power all over the world, as well as securing the free flow of goods at sea.
• The prosperity and security of trading nations strongly depend on the stability of the global maritime supply chain and thus on freedom of navigation.
• Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea have incurred substantial costs for the global economy.
• Together with Kyiv’s efficient use of missiles and drones against Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, it limited Russia’s ability to disrupt Ukraine’s maritime trade.

Power projection

• Western dominance has always relied on its ability to project military power across the globe via the sea.
• This raises questions about the west’s ability to project power and forces into contested theatres such as the Taiwan Strait because they’d be vulnerable to attack from the Chinese mainland.
• In the Indo-Pacific, China has been developing capabilities to counter US projection forces.

Civilian seapower

• This explains China’s balanced stance on the Red Sea crisis and reports that Beijing has been pressuring Iran to bring the Houthis under control.
• But at the same time, China is using its commercial and financial assets to peacefully, though proactively, extend its maritime power.
• Elsewhere, in the South China Sea, Beijing has mastered the art of blurring the boundaries between civilian, military and legal means and objectives – this is defined as “grey zone” tactics.

For whosoever command the sea…

• Sir Walter Raleigh’s old dictum: “For whosoever commands the sea commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself” has until recently characterised the western, liberal world order.
• Seapower proceeds from a combination of naval and commercial maritime assets and isn’t limited to the west.
• This might open the doors for a new, illiberal world order, most likely one that is dominated by China.
