China launches new conventional submarine

Updated September 24, 2010 21:00:21
Regional anxieties about China's naval expansion are likely to be fuelled by the confirmation that it's launched a new type of conventional submarine. It's been confirmed in the publication, Janes Navy International. Aerial surveillance images from August show a new pier under construction at China's naval base on Hainan island in the highly contested South China Sea - possibly to accommodate new submarines. The news comes as vessels from China's PLA Navy have been touring the Pacific.
Presenter: Linda Mottram, Canberra correspondent
Speaker: Russell Smith, director, Asian defence and security, research and intelligence firm, I-H-S
