Abstract Western sea power essentially means marine hegemony, while China pursues consistently the sea strategy aimed at peaceful rise. China's sea power is the unity of maritime sovereignty, maritime rights and command of the sea. Worldwide, the legal protection of sea power has undergone a change from military protection to judicial protection and then to administrative protection. Suggestions to perfect law enforcement and protection of sea power for China have been put forward as follows: the sea strategy aimed at peaceful rise can be directly implemented by spreading the new maritime security concept; maritime rights can be directly protected by regular maritime law enforcement; concerted effort can be made by joint actions of maritime law enforcement; legalization of the maritime law enforcement can be realized by strengthening legislation; sea power can be safeguarded by the cross-strait cooperation in maritime law enforcement; and international influence of maritime law enforcement can be strengthened by law enforcement involving foreign affairs.
