The Concept of Active Defence in China's Military Strategy

Overview

This book argues that China's rise is driven by the self-fulfilling prophecy of the dream of the 'great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation', and Beijing's economic miracle has translated into a call for military preparedness guided by the logic of 'fight and win'. China's quest lies in perfecting the art of being 'combat-ready' with the aim of making the People's Liberation Army a 'world-class military'. While Beijing maintains that it has a defensive military posture, the author argues that its growing military capabilities and increasing unilateral behavioural dispositions highlight an 'offensive' intent—demonstrating the 'China Threat'.
