N2  - For the last ten years or more China has been steadily expanding and strengthening its international influence. This is evidenced by "... China's increasingly proactive - and increasingly effective - foreign and security policy." (author's introduction).  This book considers the policies driving the expansion and looks at what China is trying to achieve and what methods are being used to support the aims. Various approaches are in place such as military to military contact, confidence building measures, security fora, arms control, peacekeeping and other non-traditional security areas. Concludes with views on the implications for US foreign policy
