Military relationship in the Asia-Pacific between the United States and China is at the core of an evolving, yet uncertain, broader relationship between an exisitng global superpower and what is percevied as its possible challenger.
To help gain deeper insight into what is undoubtedly the most important bilateral relationship in the 21st century, China SignPost, an international China-centric security think-tank, offers a four-part series to examine the following major, under-researched issues:
– China’s Near Seas military focus and capabilities
– China’s fiscal environment and implications for military development
– Chinese energy and resource imports and their potential to drive naval expansion
– China’s conflict triggers and mitigating factors, particularly economic interdependence.
