V posledním desetiletí se Čína proměnila v námořní mocnost. Je to dobře zavedené
že jmenování Si Ťin-pchinga generálním tajemníkem čínského komunisty v
Rok 2013 byl v konkurenci hegemoniky účinný v konkurenci amerického pivotu v Asii z roku 2012
dominance vysoce sporného regionu Jihočínského moře.
Tato práce si klade za cíl ukázat, jak jsou rozvíjející se mocnosti jako Čína připraveny vykazovat metody
měkké a tvrdé síly k osvobození napadených vod v hodnotě miliard nevyžádaných dolarů
zdroje uhlovodíků pod jeho mořským dnem, aby předvedly, jak je nastupující síla připravena
zpochybnit zavedenou moc pro regionální hegemonii.
Ke zkoumání čínštiny byla použita kombinace kvalitativních i kvantitativních údajů
projekce energie v Jihočínském moři ve vztahu k jejich činům, pokud jde o
modernizace jejich námořního loďstva, zajištění multilaterálních institucí a umělé
stavby na sporných územích. Stručně řečeno, teoretická hloubková analýza kontroly
přes Jihočínské moře je zásadní pro dlouhodobou čínskou bezpečnost.

Abstract
In the last decade China has transformed itself into a maritime power. It is well established
that the appointment of Xi-Jinping as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist in
2013 has been effective in rivalling the U.S Pivot to Asia of 2012 concerning the hegemonic
dominance of the highly contested South China Sea region.
The thesis aims to demonstrate how emerging powers like China are ready to exhibit methods
of soft, and hard power to liberate contested waters worth billions of unclaimed dollars of
hydrocarbon resources beneath its seabed to showcase how an emerging power is ready to
challenge an established power for regional hegemony.
A combination of both qualitative and quantitative data has been used to examine Chinese
power projection in the South China Sea with relation to their actions in terms of
modernisation of their naval fleet, hedging of multilateral institutions and artificial
constructions in disputed territories. In sum, a theoretical in depth analysis on how control
over the South China Sea is crucial to long term Chinese security.
