China's Rising Sea Power

More about the book

The book analyzes China's emergence as a dominant submarine power following the decline of Soviet naval influence, raising concerns about regional stability in East Asia. It draws parallels between China's current strategic approach and historical continental powers that challenged maritime dominance. By examining the impact of Soviet naval strategies and ancient Chinese military philosophy on the PLA Navy, the text argues that China's advanced submarine capabilities could significantly affect its military posture regarding Taiwan, highlighting the risks of underestimating this force in potential conflicts.
