A Look at the PLA's History of Planning for War with Taylor Fravel

How does China think about the nature of war? How has China's conception of war changed over time? What are "military guidelines" in Chinese statecraft and what leads the Chinese leadership to develop new ones? These and other questions are discussed in the latest episode of Jaw-Jaw, where Professor Taylor Fravel discusses his recent book Active Defense: China's Military Strategy Since 1949.
