Summary, etc. Examines China's willingness to use force both abroad in Korea, Vietnam, and over the Taiwan Strait, and internally during the Cultural Revoultion and in Tiananmen Square. Argues that China has not become more belligerent neither has the influence of the military increased. However it suggests that China has a "cult of defense" in its strategic culture that predisposes leaders to identify the use of military force as defensive whatever the circumstances. This approach, together with changes in PLA doctrine and capabilities, means that China may be more willing to use force in the future.
