Summary:
For over two decades, the People's Republic of China has been engaged in a grand project to transform its military into a modernized fighting force capable of defeating the world's most powerful militaries through asymmetric means. However, despite the considerable attention that has been devoted to cataloguing Chinese advances in weapons and hardware, much less is known about China's strategic thinking. China's Evolving Military Strategy fills this gap by offering sector-by-sector expert assessments of the latest trends in Chinese military thought under Xi Jinping, covering not only traditional battle-spaces such as the air and sea but also China's strategy for the new domains of space, cyberspace, and electronic warfare. China's Evolving Military Strategy is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the world's most important bilateral national security relationship. Book jacket.
