Accompanying rapid technological growth throughout the Chinese army, the country's navy is now the second most powerful in the world, says a Russian military expert.
In addition, from a technological point of view, the Chinese Navy is already almost surpassing the US Navy, Vasily Kashin told Sputnik.
"China's growing military potential has changed the balance of forces in Asia, and the People's Liberation Army is now able to carry out operations on a global scale," Kashin said.
He also pointed out that the Chinese government is spending huge sums of money on upgrading its military.
Responding to the question about what impact China's participation in international army games had on China's image, Kashin said China's armed forces have been participating in such events since 2008.
China's forces have taken part in a series of international military competitions in Europe, Russia and several Asian countries.
Kashin added that during the last International Army Games the Chinese gave their best to win and "if something goes wrong, they always analyze their mistakes, learn something and try to do better next time."
In addition to the regular stops in his country, recently the Chinese military also participated in stops in Russia and Venezuela.
"The Chinese are seeking 'special military relations' with countries with which they have close political ties, including the exchange of military personnel, technical-military cooperation, joint exercises and parades," Kashin said, adding that this means that China is strengthening its diplomacy military.
