Xi Jinping Has Made His Ambitions For The Peoples Liberation Army (Pla) Perfectly Clear, There Is No Mystery What He Wants, First, That China Should Become A Great Maritime Power And Secondly, That The Pla Become A Worldclass Armed Force By 2050. He Wants This Latter Objective To Be Largely Completed By 2035. China As A Twentyfirstcentury Naval Power Focuses On Chinas Navy And How It Is Being Transformed To Satisfy The World Class Goal. Beginning With An Exploration Of Why China Is Seeking To Become Such A Major Maritime Power, Author Michael Mcdevitt First Explores The Strategic Rationale Behind Xis Two Objectives. Chinas Reliance On Foreign Trade And Overseas Interests Such As Chinas Belt And Road Strategy. In Turn This Has Created Concerns Within The Senior Levels Of Chinas Military About The Vulnerability Of Its Overseas Interests And Maritime Lifelines. Is A Major Theme. Mcdevitt Dubs This Chinas Sea Lane Anxiety And Traces How This Has Required The Pla Navy To Evolve From A Near Seasfocused Navy To One That Has Global Reach; A Blue Water Navy. He Details How Quickly This Transformation Has Taken Place, Thanks To A Patient Stepbystep Approach And Abundant Funding. The More Than 10 Years Of Antipiracy Patrols In The Far Reaches Of The Indian Ocean Has Acted As A Learning Curve Accelerator To Blue Water Status. Mcdevitt Then Explores The Pla Navys Role In The South China Sea And The Indian Ocean. He Provides A Detailed Assessment Of What The Plan Will Be Expected To Do If Beijing Chooses To Attack Taiwan Potentially Triggering Combat With Americas First Responders In East Asia, Especially The U.S. Seventh Fleet And U.S. Fifth Air Force. He Conducts A Close Exploration Of How The Pla Navy Fits Into Chinas Campaign Plan Aimed At Keeping Reinforcing U.S. Forces At Arms Length (What The Pentagon Calls Antiaccess And Area Denial [A2/Ad]) If War Has Broken Out Over Taiwan, Or Because Of Attacks On U.S. Allies And Friends That Live In The Shadow Of China. Mcdevitt Does Not Know How Xi Defines World Class But The Evidence From The Past 15 Years Of Building A Blue Water Force Has Already Made The Pla Navy The Second Largest Globally Capable Navy In The World. This Book Concludes With A Forecast Of What Xis Vision Of A Worldclass Navy Might Look Like In The Next Fifteen Years When The 2035 Deadline Is Reached.
