Armed Forces & Society Vol. 46, No. 1, January 2020, pp.25-45 (3)Summary: Building upon the conceptual work of Krahmann and Habermas, this study explains how political power and market forces in China combined to create an enormous domestic market for overseas security services and, at the same time, undermined the full development of domestic private security companies (PSCs). The growing responsiveness of the state to the request for protection of Chinese citizens and assets abroad made room for the initial development of Chinese PSCs' overseas operations. So far, large foreign PSCs have been the main beneficiaries of this situation.
