Reviews

“This book is important to the strategic community for a number of reasons. The foremost is that it draws attention to a definitive Chinese Grand Strategy. The second is that China is laying the ground for a world encompassing maritime strategy that will see the PLAN operate well beyond the confines of its current area denial strategy. The third is that China’s oceanic maritime strategy will only be launched when its financial and industrial muscle attains a hegemonic status.” -- Raja Menon (Rear Admiral Retired) ""Maritime Power and China’s Grand Strategy is an ambitious effort to place China’s projection of maritime power within the context of its broader grand strategy. It is a must read for analysts and policy-makers who want to understand why Beijing is building its maritime power and presence in the region and to discern its likely future moves."" -- Dr David Brewster, Senior Research Fellow, ANU National Security College
