Lessons learned have spawned PLAN innovations in doctrine, operations, and international coordination. Many of the insights gleaned during deployments are applicable to security objectives closer to home; some officers enjoy promotion to important positions after returning. Anti-piracy operations have been a springboard for China to expand considerably its maritime security operations, from evacuating its citizens from Libya and Yemen to escorting Syrian chemical weapons to their destruction and participating in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. So great are the benefits to China's global maritime presence and enhanced image at home and abroad that when Gulf of Aden anti-piracy operations finally wind down, Beijing will have to develop new means to address its burgeoning overseas interests. 606 $aPiracy$xPrevention$zAsia 606 $aSea-power$zAsia 607 $aAden, Gulf of 607 $aChina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPiracy$xPrevention 615 0$aSea-power 676 $a364.164 700 $aErickson$b Andrew S.$01041271 702 $aStrange$b Austin M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150256503321 996 $aSix years at sea ... and counting$92464678 997 $aUNINA
