China's Use of Military Force: Beyond the Great Wall and the Long March by Andre

Description: China's Use of Military Force by Andrew Scobell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This 2003 book examines Chinas use of force domestically and abroad. The author warns that a Cult of Defense disposes Chinese leaders to rationalize all military deployment as defensive, while recent changes in PLA suggest that todays leaders may use military force more readily than their predecessors. Publisher Description In this unique study of Chinas militarism, Andrew Scobell examines the use of military force abroad - as in Korea (1950), Vietnam (1979), and the Taiwan Strait (1995-1996) - and domestically, as during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s and in the 1989 military crackdown in Tiananmen Square. Debunking the view that China has become increasingly belligerent in recent years because of the growing influence of soldiers, Scobell concludes that Chinas strategic culture has remained unchanged for decades. Nevertheless, the author uncovers the existence of a Cult of Defense in Chinese strategic culture. The author warns that this Cult of Defense disposes Chinese leaders to rationalize all military deployment as defensive, while changes in the Peoples Liberation Armys doctrine and capabilities over the past two decades suggest that Chinas twenty-first century leaders may use military force more readily than their predecessors.
