Summary:
With the world's largest population, largest army, and fastest growing economy, China is now building a large modern navy to assure its status as Asia's predominant power. Yet the West is sorely limited in its knowledge of what could become its greatest naval opponent. This major new study -- the first in more than fifteen years -- provides the specialist and general reader alike with timely, authoritative information about China's developing navy and its quest for power.
