Wonder why they are building a deep water navy and starting up this cold war kind of gamesmanship? I don't see them in a lot of peacekeeping or international aide missions. They certainly make a lot of threats towards Taiwan, though.

They have regional interests, and they need to make sure they can counter any hegemonist's power-projection in the their region.

I think they have sent troops to African countries as peace keepers.
