This book explores China-US military and security relations in the context of the War on Terror and changes in Chinese society, national security policy, and military affairs. The authors discuss the context and processes governing the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) ambitions to remake itself and assess likely developments in civil-military relations under the fourth-generation leaders, the impact of growing nationalism in China, and evolving PLA military capabilities. They conclude with a discussion of key regional and global issues, the prospects for US-China relations and military-to-military cooperation, and the implications for US defense planning.
