Good article!
"The vision document identifies maritime security as a “key assurance for developing the blue economy” and aims to promote “the concept of common maritime security”. Four areas of maritime security cooperation in the vision document are:-
Cooperation on Maritime navigation security to combat non-traditional security issues such as crime at sea.
Cooperation with littoral countries in the application of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and remote sensing satellite system has also been proposed.
Conducting joint maritime search and rescue missions to enhance capacities in dealing with emergencies at sea including major disasters and security threats to tourists.
Cooperation on Marine disaster warning and mitigation through “setting up of marine disaster warning systems in the South China Sea, the Bengal Sea, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden” and development of “marine disaster warning products for transportation, escort, disaster prevention and mitigation.” (Emphasis added)."

As far as foreign policy is concerned, I would say when people look at the "south China sea issue" they overlook the role of economic factors. AIIB and BRI, as this states as well, are integral parts of expanding Chinese influence in Asia. States with economic ties are going to be more likely to cooperate on defense down the road. It will be interesting to see if we change our policy as well, perhaps revive the TPP. I do not think it will play out well to simply try to use a navy to deter economic incentives.

Short term solutions that do not look at the full picture tend to be the quick answers you find in our strategy - often failing to see that there is a bigger focus.
