Printed full size (8 1/2 by 11) with large text. This book addresses the increasing military modernization by China and a potentially changing Chinese approach to its regional security environment. The reforms within the People's Liberation Army (PLA) take place as China seems intent to more assertively pursue its interests and claims in disputed maritime domains. China’s increasing military capabilities are creating complex shifts in regional security calculations. This book presents the various domestic, international, and technological drivers of China’s military modernization; potential trajectories for PLA modernization; and the implications of PLA modernization for the Asia-Pacific, the international order, and U.S.-China relations. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don’t have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it’s just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it’s 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don’t have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 ½ by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https://usgovpub.com
