Book Synopsis Modern Chinese Tanks by : 新世界(xīn Shìjiè)
Download or read book Modern Chinese Tanks written by 新世界(xīn Shìjiè) and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Chinese Tanks - March 9, 2022 This is a subject with very little available open-source information. China's main battle tank evolution can be divided into three generations. The first generation was the Type 59, a locally manufactured copy of the Soviet T-54. The second-generation began with the Type 80 and evolved to the Type 96. The third-generation began with the Type 99 tank. Chinese sources of information are difficult to find, require translation and an understanding of PLA tactics to really appreciate where they differ from Western thinking in regards to mechanized warfare. Chinese strategy has evolved from their "informatization" (信息化, xinxi hua) effort to the "intelligentization" (智能化, zhineng hua) phase, in keeping with China's "Military Strategic Guidelines" (军事战略方针, junshi zhanlüe fangzhen). According to the Science of Military Strategy (战略学, zhanlüe xue) released in 2020 by China's National Defense University, "Intelligentization" as it refers to Chinese military operations can be defined as incorporation of artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, hypersonics, unmanned autonomous systems and big data analysis. New tanks are being developed for the military struggle in New Domains (新型领域军事斗争) and use of military forces overseas (军事力量的海外运用) with a new focus on "multi-domain integrated joint operations" (多域一体化联合作战, duo yu yiti hua lianhe zuozhan). Because precious little information is available on these new weapons, we are including some educated guesses (RUMINT). I am convinced we will soon learn of unmanned, autonomous vehicles coming out of China in keeping with their newfound interest in "unmanned and intelligentized support capabilities" (无人智能化保障能力, wu ren zhineng hua baozhang nengli). 新世界 Please visit our web site USGOVPUB.COM and submit comments and suggestions.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Think Tanks in Contemporary China by : Silvia Menegazzi
Download or read book Rethinking Think Tanks in Contemporary China written by Silvia Menegazzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes how Chinese think tanks have become essential actors in today’s Chinese foreign policy and diplomatic practices. By providing an in-depth analysis of their roles, functions and transformation in the last decade, this study explains how they differ from their Western counterparts and how they have developed during Hu Jintao’s and Xi Jinping’s mandates. Think tanks are often thought to only be able to gain access to political processes within democratic contexts. This book suggests that even in the more ambiguous Chinese political environment, think tanks remain essential actors where ideas, discourses and beliefs about foreign policy and diplomacy are generated, framed and discussed vis-à-vis China’s ascent role in international affairs and global governance.

Book excerpt: A RAND study analyzed Chinese and U.S. military capabilities in two scenarios (Taiwan and the Spratly Islands) from 1996 to 2017, finding that trends in most, but not all, areas run strongly against the United States.

China is capable of challenging U.S. military dominance on its immediate periphery—and its reach is likely to grow in the years ahead.

Book Synopsis A History of the Modern Chinese Army by : Xiaobing Li
Download or read book A History of the Modern Chinese Army written by Xiaobing Li and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the establishment of the Red Army in 1927, China’s military has responded to profound changes in Chinese society, particularly its domestic politics, shifting economy, and evolving threat perceptions. Recently tensions between China and Taiwan and other east Asian nations have aroused great interest in the extraordinary transformation and new capabilities of the Chinese army. In A History of the Modern Chinese Army, Xiaobing Li, a former member of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), provides a comprehensive examination of the PLA from the Cold War to the beginning of the twenty-first century that highlights the military’s central function in modern Chinese society. In the 1940s, the Chinese army was in its infancy, and many soldiers were rural conscripts and volunteers who had received little formal schooling. The Chinese military rapidly increased its mobility and weapon strength, and the Korean War and Cold War offered intense combat experience that not only allowed soldiers to hone their fighting techniques but also helped China to develop military tactics tailored to the surrounding countries whose armies posed the most immediate threats. Yet even in the 1970s, the completion of a middle school education (nine years) was considered above-average, and only 4 percent of the 224 top Chinese generals had any college credit hours. However, in 1995 the high command began to institute massive reforms to transform the PLA from a labor-intensive force into a technology-intensive army. Continually seeking more urban conscripts and emphasizing higher education, the PLA Reserve Officer Training and Selection program recruited students from across the nation. These reservists would become commissioned officers upon graduation, and they majored in atomic physics, computer science, and electrical engineering. Grounding the text in previously unreleased official Chinese government and military records as well as the personal testimonies of more than two hundred PLA soldiers, Li charts the development of China’s armed forces against the backdrop of Chinese society, cultural traditions, political history, and recent technological advancements. A History of the Modern Chinese Army links China’s military modernization to the country’s growing international and economic power and provides a unique perspective on China’s esttablishment and maintenance of one of the world’s most advanced military forces.

Download or read book Think Tanks written by James G. McGann and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of think tanks—with uniquely Asian characteristics Policy research institutes—better known as think tanks—;are long established and well known in Western countries but have developed only in recent years in much of the rest of the world. Globalization is partly responsible for the new growth in think tanks, since few issues are totally domestic and governments and citizens increasingly understand the need for well-informed policy advice. Think tanks have become especially important in many Asian nations over the past decade, coinciding with their rise to new prominence in international affairs. Asia's major players— the People's Republic of China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore—and more recently countries in Central Asia like Kazakhstan now have major think tanks. These institutions have become the go-to organizations for proposals and policy advice on key economic, security, social and environmental issues. This book by a noted expert in the field traces the growing influence of these policy actors in Asia, places the trend in historical context, and explores how the region's countries have fostered the growth of think tanks with uniquely Asian characteristics.
Book Synopsis Ancient Chinese Thought, Modern Chinese Power by : Yan Xuetong
Download or read book Ancient Chinese Thought, Modern Chinese Power written by Yan Xuetong and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of China could be the most important political development of the twenty-first century. What will China look like in the future? What should it look like? And what will China's rise mean for the rest of world? This book, written by China's most influential foreign policy thinker, sets out a vision for the coming decades from China's point of view. In the West, Yan Xuetong is often regarded as a hawkish policy advisor and enemy of liberal internationalists. But a very different picture emerges from this book, as Yan examines the lessons of ancient Chinese political thought for the future of China and the development of a "Beijing consensus" in international relations. Yan, it becomes clear, is neither a communist who believes that economic might is the key to national power, nor a neoconservative who believes that China should rely on military might to get its way. Rather, Yan argues, political leadership is the key to national power, and morality is an essential part of political leadership. Economic and military might are important components of national power, but they are secondary to political leaders who act in accordance with moral norms, and the same holds true in determining the hierarchy of the global order. Providing new insights into the thinking of one of China's leading foreign policy figures, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in China's rise or in international relations. In a new preface, Yan reflects on his arguments in light of recent developments in Chinese foreign policy, including the selection of a new leader in 2012.

Book Synopsis Popular Protest And Political Culture In Modern China by : Jeffrey N Wasserstrom
Download or read book Popular Protest And Political Culture In Modern China written by Jeffrey N Wasserstrom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and widely praised volume uses the dramatic occupation of Tiananmen Square as the foundation for rethinking the cultural dimensions of Chinese politics. Now in a revised and expanded second edition, the book includes enhanced coverage of key issues, such as the political dimensions of popular culture (addressed in a new chapter on Chinese rock-and-roll by Andrew Jones) and the struggle for control of public discourse in the post-1989 era (discussed in a new chapter by Tony Saich). Two especially valuable additions to the second edition are art historian Tsao Tsing-yuan's eyewitness account of the making of the Goddess of Democracy, and an exposition of Chinese understandings of the term ?revolution? contributed by Liu Xiaobo, one of China's most controversial dissident intellectuals. The volume also includes an analysis (by noted social theorist and historical sociologist Craig C. Calhoun) of the similarities and differences between the ?new? social movements of recent decades and the ?old? social movements of earlier eras.TEXT CONCLUSION: To facilitate classroom use, the volume has been reorganized into groups of interrelated essays. The editors introduce each section and offer a list of suggested readings that complement the material in that section.
