The construction of the submarine cable production base project marks the rapid development of China/s submarine cable industry and the important position of Weihai City in this field. This project belongs to China Electric Equipment Group, with a total investment of 3.033 billion yuan. Once fully completed and in production, it will form a production capacity of 1300 kilometers of submarine cables, umbilical cables, and 700 kilometers of land cables, becoming the largest submarine cable production base in the north. This is not only of great significance for the economic development of Weihai City, but also a significant contribution to the national maritime strategic security.

From the perspective of national strategic security, submarine cables, as important carriers of information communication and energy transmission, play an indispensable role in the country/s economy, military, technology, and other aspects. Firstly, submarine cables carry important national communication networks, involving the transmission and exchange of important national information. With the advent of the digital age, information security has become an important component of national security, and the safe and stable operation of submarine cables is directly related to the overall pattern of national information security.

Secondly, submarine cables also undertake the important task of national energy transmission. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the development and utilization of marine energy such as offshore wind power are increasing day by day. As one of the main ways of energy transmission, the stable operation of submarine cables directly affects the stability and safety of national energy supply. Especially in terms of energy strategy layout, the development of submarine cables is of great significance for the adjustment and optimization of the national energy structure.

In addition, as an important channel for international communication and energy exchange, submarine cables also involve a country/s international status and competitiveness. The layout of submarine cables internationally is often a key link in information exchange and economic connections between countries, and China has its own submarine cable production base, which can not only meet domestic demand but also occupy a place in international competition, enhancing the country/s international discourse power and status.

Therefore, the construction of the Shandong Electric Submarine Cable Production Base project is not only a local economic project, but also an important measure for national strategic security. The smooth operation and stable development of the project will provide important support for national information security, energy security, and the enhancement of international status. It will also inject new impetus and vitality into the economic and social development of Weihai City, Shandong Province, and even the entire country.
