Chinese Aerospace Power

Chinas aircraft carrier programme is making major waves well before the first ship has been completed. Undoubtedly, this development heralds a new era in Chinese national security policy. While the present volume presents substantial new insight on that particular question, its focus is decidedly broader in scope. Chinese Aerospace Power offers a comprehensive survey of Chinese aerospace developments, with a focus on areas of potential strategic significance previously unexplored in Western scholarship. The book also links these developments to the vast maritime battle space of the Asia-Pacific region and highlights the consequent implications for the U.S. military, particularly the U.S. Navy.
