Description
This book analyses China's maritime strategy for the 21st century, integrating strategic planning, policy thinking and strategic prediction.
This book explains the construction and application of China's military, political, economic and diplomatic means for building maritime power, and predicts the future of China's maritime power by 2049, as well as development trends in global maritime politics. It explores both the strengths and the limitations of President Xi's 'Maritime Dream' and provides a candid assessment of the likely future balance at sea between China and the United States. This volume explains and discusses China's claims and intentions in the East and South China Seas and makes some recommendations for China's future policy that will lessen the chance of conflict with the United States and its closer neighbors.
This book will be of much interest to students of maritime strategy, naval studies, Chinese politics and International Relations in general.
