As the aspirations of the two rising Asian powers collide, the China-India rivalry is likely to shape twenty-first-century international politics in the region and far beyond. This volume by T.V. Paul and an international group of leading scholars examines whether the rivalry between the two countries that began in the 1950s will intensify or dissipate in the twenty-first century. The China-India relationship is important to analyze because past experience has shown that when two rising great powers share a border, the relationship is volatile and potentially dangerous. India and China’s relationship faces a number of challenges, including multiple border disputes that periodically flare up, division over the status of Tibet and the Dalai Lama, the strategic challenge to India posed by China's close relationship with Pakistan, the Chinese navy's greater presence in the Indian Ocean, and the two states’ competition for natural resources. Despite these irritants, however, both countries agree on issues such as global financial reforms and climate change and have much to gain from increasing trade and investment, so there are reasons for optimism as well as pessimism. The contributors to this volume answer the following questions: What explains the peculiar contours of this rivalry? What influence does accelerated globalization, especially increased trade and investment, have on this rivalry? What impact do US-China competition and China’s expanding navy have on this rivalry? Under what conditions will it escalate or end? The China-India Rivalry in the Globalization Era will be of great interest to students, scholars, and policymakers concerned with Indian and Chinese foreign policy and Asian security.

This monograph documents new thinking in China on how and when to use nuclear weapons. China's nuclear forces are mainly retaliatory in nature, but there is a debate about using preemptive force among China's strategic thinkers.

This 2003 book examines China's militarism, concluding that today's leaders may use force more readily than their predecessors.

"Does China have the military capability to threaten Taiwan? What are China's intentions with its newly modernizing military? How much of a threat does that pose to the United States? The assumption generally is that the United States will intervene in some form in the event that China attacked Taiwan. But what if the U.S. does not intervene and Taiwan does not succumb to threats alone? Can China back up its threats and succeed in an invasion of Taiwan using only its conventional forces? How successful has the PLA modernization drive been so far and what promise does it hold in the next few years to achieve the objective of taking Taiwan back by force? The purpose of this thesis is to measure the results of China's military modernization efforts and determine if the PLA has the capability to defeat Taiwan in a conventional war and succeed in an invasion of the island."--Abstract from web site.

China is a rapidly developing world power. Its rise is causing some concern about the "China threat" to the United States. It is important to the American people to have a better understanding of the true conditions in China so we can deal with it rationally and effectively. The main purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a comprehensive description and objective analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of present-day China. Special emphasis is placed on U.S.-China relations. It covers China's history, land and people, political system, economic development, educational, scientific and technological developments, military power, social and cultural changes, Chinese nationalism, overseas Chinese, the Taiwan issue, China's global influence, U.S.-China relations and the prospects of China's future development in the twenty-first century and its impact on U.S.-China relations. The "China threat" notion is critically assessed. The book also makes some suggestions to enable the United States and China,to manage their conflicts and to peacefully co-exist to promote mutual interests, international peace, security and prosperity.

Written by a leading historian and China-based businessman, China: The Stealth Empire is the first book to combine a historical analysis withinsights into China's current economic andpolitical development.

This comprehensive exploration of the new international environment examines not only traditional political-military concerns but also economic, ethnic, and other factors in the security environment of Russia and its neighbors to the west, (Vol. 1), south (Vol. 2), and east (Vol. 3).

International authors participate in considering each problem from all relevant points of view.

"There has never been anything quite like the Cultural Revolution, which disrupted life in the People's Republic of China from 1966 to 1976. It wreaked havoc in the world's most populous country, often turning life upside down and undermining the party, government, and army, weakening the economy, society, and culture. Tens of millions were hurt or killed during this period, and relatively few benefited, aside from Mao Zedong and (temporarily) the Gang of Four." "Historical Dictionary of the Chinese Cultural Revolution provides an extensive chronology that traces the events of the revolution and the introduction puts those events in context and explains them. The bulk of the information is provided in numerous dictionary entries on important persons, places, institutions, and movements. The bibliography points to further resources, and the glossary helps those researching in Chinese."--BOOK JACKET.
