What are China’s main goals as it seeks to create a world-class modern military? And what are the implications for other regional players, including Taiwan, Japan, and rival claimants in the South China Sea territorial disputes?

The views expressed are Dr. Saunder’s own and do not necessarily represent the views of NDU or the United States government.
