This article aims at research to the Importance and path dependence problems of Sea Power Development of China. Ever since a long time, as the indifference of Chinese maritime awareness and influence by ideology, there are a variety of misunderstanding on Maritime among Chinese people, they don't not only realize the importance of Sea Power Development, but also don't think more deeply about the direction problems of Sea Power Development of China. This article is standing at the perspective of geopolitics theory and demonstrates the important of Sea Power from historical experience and practical challenges to solve ideological problems. I also research on direction of Sea Power Development of China from marine territory, marine channel,marine economy and marine safety to solve the path dependence problem.Classic meaning of Sea Power refers to a country's use and control on the oceans, that is by its own and the national use and control on the oceans in order to deprive opponents rights and opportunities for using of the oceans.In the United States military strategist Mahan's concept,"Sea Power"think that all countries should establish and occupy a dominant ocean-going fleet to protect the country's overseas trade, overseas markets, oversea shipping and overseas interests, at the mean time, the national political will and diplomatic influence should be projected to the world to influence events and processes.So the gain and loss of thalassocracy is an important lever for a country to accomplish.Since the rise and fall of great powers from the pros and cons of modern history demonstrated the correctness of Mahan's Sea Power Theory. The rise of the United Kingdom and the United States and the control of the world are thanks to the firmly grasp the world Sea Power. The Rise of Japanese is closely related to Sea Power grabbing.China's decline is closely linked with the loss of Sea Power. Historical experience and lessons tell us it is inseparable to realize this strategy from the great development of Sea Power. Currently, struggling for marine interests in the international range has become increasing fiercely, the situation of China's Sea Power is not optimistic.There are a lot of challenges for China, such as protecting marine territory, ensuring marine channels,developing marine economy, and enhance marine defense. Therefore accelerating the development of Sea Power has been a top priority.To achieve the great rejuvenation of Chinese nation is the common aspiration of all nationalities.Attaching importance to Sea Power and developing Sea Power are the only ways for China to accomplish its great power strategy wish.In the current situation, further strengthening maritime territory maintenance, further protecting the safety of maritime traffic channels clearly, further expanding the marine economy and further enhancing the maritime defense force are important paths to achieve the development of Sea Power.
