Title
Fortifying China: The Struggle to Build a Modern Defense Economy,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fortifying China explores the titanic struggle to turn China into an aspiring worldclass military technological power. The defense economy is leveraging the country's vibrant civilian economy and gaining access to foreign sources of technology and knowhow. Drawing on extensive Chineselanguage sources, Tai Ming Cheung explains that this transformation has two key dimensions. The defense economy is being reengineered to break down bureaucratic barriers and reduce the role of the state, fostering a more competitive and entrepreneurial culture to facilitate the rapid diffusion and absorption of technology and knowledge. At the same time, the civilian and defense economies are being integrated to form a dualuse technological and industrial base. In Cheung's view, the Chinese authorities believe this strategy will play a key role in supporting longterm defense modernization.For China's neighbors and the United States, understanding China's technological, industrial, and military capabilities is critical to the formulation of economic and security policies. Fortifying China provides crucial insight into the impact of China's dualuse technology strategy. Cheung's "systems of innovation" framework considers the structure, dynamics, and performance of the defense economy from a systemslevel perspective.
