The United States and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region
have expressed concerns about China's expanding military
capabilities and called on Beijing to increase transparency on
military issues. Chinese officials and military officers argue that
Chinese transparency has increased over time and that weaker
countries should not be expected to meet U.S. standards of
transparency. Lack of an objective method for assessing military
transparency has made it difficult to assess these Chinese claims
and has inhibited productive dialogues about transparency.

This study reviews the last 20 years of academic literature on the
role of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in Chinese elite
politics. It examines the PLA's willingness to support the
continued rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and to obey
directives from top party leaders, the PLA's influence on the
selection of China's top civilian leaders, and the PLA's ability to
shape the domestic political environment. Over the last two decades
the discussion of these three issues has largely been shaped by
five trends identified in the literature: increasing PLA
professionalism, bifurcation of civil and military elites, a
reduced PLA role in political institutions, reduced emphasis on
political work within the PLA, and increased military budgets.
Together, these trends are largely responsible for the markedly
reduced role of the PLA in Chinese elite politics.
