US navy chief eyes China's 'opaque' sea power: "The head of the US Navy warned Wednesday of China's 'opaque' intentions behind its growing naval might as it seeks to use sea power to bolster its strength on the world stage.
'The navy is growing to assure the flow of resources' to China's booming economy and is 'developing very, very good capabilities,' Admiral Gary Roughead, US chief of naval operations, told reporters in Paris.
'They are moving forward with a navy that is being seen more... in areas further from their homeland,' he said."
