On today's BON feature,we take an in-depth look at the driving force behind piracy in China.

A Chinese navy official has recently suggested Beijing should construct a base in the Gulf of Aden to support its regional anti-piracy mission.

Yin says it would also strengthen China's contribution to the anti-piracy efforts and the proposal has garnered a lot of attention.

Two missile frigates of the Chinese navy made a stop in Hong Kong…on their way home after an escort mission against piracy in the Gulf of Aden.

The two frigates, "Zhoushan" and "Xuzhou" were greeted on their arrival by Hong Kong chief executive, Donald Tsang. The visit comes as China ups its engagement off the coast of Somalia, from where pirates have launched a spate of attacks on merchant vessels – including Chinese-owned ships. The bulk vessel, De Xin Hai, was seized in October.
