Since Xi Jinping's rise to power in late 2012, the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) of China has undergone a significant recalibration of its roles and missions in domestic and foreign policymaking.

This edited volume delves into the profound transformation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) roles and missions in China's domestic and foreign policymaking since Xi Jinping's ascension to power in late 2012. The book explores how China's growing military prowess, coupled with Beijing's strategic shift towards assertiveness, is largely attributable to the policies of the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping's leadership. The chapters within this book share a central theme: the recalibration of the PLA's roles and missions since Xi Jinping assumed the trifecta of party-state-military power. These contributions aim to delve into the intricacies of key issues and critically examine the enhancements in the PLA's operational capabilities, encompassing both its hardware and human elements, such as operational culture and doctrine.

In essence, the chapters document the transformative change the PLA has undergone since recognizing the limitations of its previous approach in confronting advanced military operations of the past century. At the same time, they highlight the continuity amidst these changes. This book holds immense interest for students of strategic studies, Chinese politics, Asian security, defense studies, and international relations, in general.
