A survey of Chinese naval operational history, Li’s book focuses
on the major battles and important engagements of more than 1,200
Chinese naval operations from 1949-2009, including the joint
landing campaigns in the Taiwan Strait Crises, naval battles in the
South China Sea, air defense against American pilots during
Operation Rolling Thunder, and anti-piracy operations in Africa.
His findings elucidate the origin of and changes of the People’s
Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) by examining its adaptation,
modernization, and setbacks in the past sixty years. Based upon
newly available Chinese sources and personal interviews with
retired generals, admirals, and PLA officers, the work offers
Chinese perspective on the study of PLAN war fighting history. The
untold operational stories of the Chinese captains, boatswains,
sailors, gunners, and naval pilots provide a first-hand look at a
naval officer and his crew during the Cold War and beyond. They
also indicate important lessons learned by the naval leaders who
faced the enemies during a period when the PLAN underwent a complex
transformation. China’s New Navy explains how the Chinese
Navy’s operational experience brought about its reform. The PLAN
changed from a coastal defensive fleet in the 1950s, to a modern
navy in the 2000s. It concludes that some early experiences are
still relevant to Beijing’s leaders as they consider specific
strategic and operational challenges. Li redefines and adapts such
strategic Cold War concepts as nuclear deterrence and local warfare
to be meaningful in today’s strategic context, one in which PLAN
is ready to open fire first in a defensive offense against the
other sea powers like the U.S. Navy.
