"Storey has successfully managed to provide a detailed account of state-level interactions between China and Southeast Asia. The coverage of disputes in the Paracels and the Spratlys is particularly impressive, and he appears to have a clear grasp of the nature of the Chinese military, how it has been changing, and the reasons underlying those changes... This will be a very useful resource for readers interested in both Southeast Asia and in Chinese diplomacy and politics." - John Walsh, Journal of International and Global Studies Volume 4, Number 1, (November 2012).
