This volume examines China's military capabilities, doctrines, and political perceptions in light of advancing technologies, a growing and modernizing nuclear arsenal, and increased great-power competition. Analyzing China's strategic arsenal is critical for understanding its relations with its neighbors and the world. Will China's new capabilities and confidence lead to more assertive and risky behavior?

While China's capabilities and doctrine have historically diverged from those of the United States and Russia, China has continued to modernize and expand its arsenal, despite its policy of no first use. In contrast, the United States and Russia have decreased deployed weapons stocks. This volume brings together an international group of distinguished scholars to provide a fresh assessment of China's strategic military capabilities, doctrines, and political perceptions in light of rapidly advancing technologies, an expanding and modernizing nuclear arsenal, and increased great-power competition with the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnalyzing China's strategic arsenal is critical for a deeper understanding of China's relations with both its neighbors and the world. Undoubtedly, China's arsenal is growing in size and sophistication, but key uncertainties also lie ahead. Will China's new capabilities and confidence lead it to be more assertive and take more risks? Will China's nuclear traditions change as the strategic balance improves? Will China's approach to military competition be guided by a notion of strategic stability or not? Will there be a strategic arms race with the United States?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChina's Strategic Arsenal provides a current understanding of these issues as we strive for a stable strategic future with China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, China's growing strategic arsenal presents both opportunities and challenges for the international community. While China's capabilities and doctrine continue to evolve, it is essential to carefully analyze these developments and their implications for regional and global security. By engaging in open dialogue and seeking to build trust, the United States and other countries can work together to promote stability and peace in a rapidly changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 566g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 236 x 25 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781647120788\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097388019962,"sku":"9781647120788","price":79.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/fc0e2ec94cf2871417d1cce189c9bb83.jpg?v=1623215672","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/chinas-strategic-arsenal-worldview-doctrine-and-systems","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
