Over the last year, there has been a sharp regional strategic shift. In the South China Sea, China has built six large islands<\/a>, three substantial air bases<\/a> and three sizeable electronic surveillance installations<\/a>. China has effectively moved some 1100km closer to Australia, deep into the geographic heart of the ASEAN region.<\/p>\n

Such territorial expansionism is particularly worrying given recent Chinese military developments. Chinese airpower is being rapidly transformed through a major decade-long modernisation program that, as President Xi Jinping directed in 2014, is now accelerating. China\u2019s air force has moved from having obsolete 1950s technology to today operating modern combat aircraft<\/a> and highly-advanced surface to air missile systems.<\/p>\n

With its new air bases and leading-edge air power, China now has the strategic initiative in South East Asia. Whenever it chooses, China can deploy to its South China Sea airbases an air combat force larger and more capable than any ASEAN air force.<\/p>\n

Of ASEAN\u2019s air forces, Singapore\u2019s is the most capable, operating<\/a> some 100 modern fighters, albeit many are normally located offshore at foreign training bases. Given typical maintenance processes and adequate warning, some 50-75 fighters could be surged in a crisis. In contrast, China operates more than a 1000 modern fighters<\/a> and could deploy 75-100 aircraft across the three islands. China has some further advantages in having sophisticated, readily-deployable surface-to-air missile systems<\/a> for high-quality island air defence while its fighter aircraft operate elsewhere. Singapore is less well equipped and would need to retain a sizeable fighter force for home air defence purposes. Moreover, China has a variety of long-range land-attack missiles; Singapore does not.<\/p>\n
