Deep Dives China Episode 3: Will the PLA Modernization Continue Apace in Xi’s Second Decade?
Description
Compared to his predecessors, Xi Jinping is more focused on military modernization, which he views as a prerequisite for achieving the “China Dream” of national rejuvenation by the midcentury. China also intends to be entirely independent in its defense sector and compete with other well-established military industries such as Russia and the United States. What are the current capabilities of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)? What are China’s short-term and long-term goals for the PLA? What are the implications and possible consequences of China’s growing military power and capabilities for the U.S. and Taiwan? Join us for a discussion with Dr. Joel Wuthnow, Senior Research Fellow in the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs within the Institute for National Strategic Studies at NDU, to answer these questions and more.
