The decisions that shape the policy of weapons procurement are an
important area of national security policy. This is all the more
true for China, which during recent decades has vacillated between
different sources and directions of military build-up. This book
explores the politics of military procurement in China under the
successive leaderships of Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao.
It shows how China's political and military leaders have sought to
adjust military procurement policy to meet China's strategic
objectives, to relate it to non-military needs, to strike a balance
between the import of weapons and indigenous production, and to
determine the connections between hardware and other components of
military power. Exploring in detail five major shifts in the
nation's military procurement, it traces the considerations and
negotiations among China's civilian and military leaderships. By
doing so, it offers both a conceptual framework and empirical
grounds for evaluating the factors that shape China's military
procurement directions, as well as their limitations, prospects,
and operational implications. As the first book to study
comprehensively and systematically the attributes shaping China's
military procurement, it will be of great interest to students and
scholars of Chinese politics, Chinese history and military and
strategic studies.
