| Summary |
"Over the last two and a half decades, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has invested heavily in the modernization of its military forces. These efforts have yielded dramatic improvements in the personnel, organizational structure, equipment, training, doctrine, and overall proficiency of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The Communist Party of China's (CCP) air, space, and missile forces in particular, collectively referred to here as the PLA's "aerospace forces", have transformed rapidly from a comparatively low base of capabilities in the 1990s into forces that today could pose significant challenges to any opponent. China's military leaders have observed the evolution of other nations' forces and have taken lessons from recent conflicts. They have sought to rebuild their own aerospace capabilities with these changes in mind. China seeks to modernize its aerospace forces, including weapons, equipment, personnel, and organizational structure, to support an increasingly ambitious regional security strategy that involves deterring any adversary, and, should deterrence fail, prevailing in combat."--Introduction. |
