Combining a close knowledge of Asia and an ability to tap
Chinese-language sources with naval combat experience and expertise
in sea-power theory, the authors assess how the rise of Chinese sea
power will affect U.S. maritime strategy in Asia. They argue that
China has laid the groundwork for a sustained challenge to American
primacy in maritime Asia, and to defend this hypothesis they look
back to Alfred Thayer Mahan’s sea-power theories, now popular
with the Chinese. The book considers how strategic thought about
the sea shapes Beijing’s deliberations and compares China’s
geostrategic predicament to that of the Kaiser’s Germany a
century ago. It examines the Chinese navy’s operational concepts,
tactics, and capabilities and appraises China’s missile force.
The authors conclude that China now presents a challenge to
America’s strategic position of such magnitude that Washington
must compete in earnest.
