Chinese military analyst Zhou Bo says the PLA Navy has done more than expected in its counter-piracy missions in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia. The operations began in 2008. Addressing a CGTN forum on global security, he said the mission was originally only meant to escort Chinese and World Food Program vessels against pirates, but later expanded to escorting other countries' ships as well which make up half of its operations.
