In the forward the author states it is assumed that the PLA will grow more powerful; the unknowns are the speed of modernization, the degree to which improved hardware can be integrated with training, command and control, the use to which military power will be put, how underlying strategy and national interests guide resources for and use of military power, how neighbouring countries and the USA will respond to growing Chinese military capability, and the implications for the global balance of power. Chapters cover civil military relations, doctrine and training, command control and force structure, finance, defence industries, threat perceptions, and policy implications for the U.S.
