Chinese Arms Exports: Policy, Players, and Process

Global arms proliferation continues to be a key concern for the United States, particularly the export role of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Clearly, the PRC is a key player in the world's arms bazaar. Although China experienced a significant decline in its arms exports in the 199Os (down from the boom times of the 1980s), the PRC provides a significant array of lethal weapons and sensitive defense technologies to states around the world. These exports provide an invaluable means by which to assess the progress and performance of China's military-industrial complex. Moreover, these products may represent the very systems and technological know-how that the United States and allied forces will encounter in a future conflict. Authored by two of the world's foremost experts on Chinese arms proliferation, this monograph provides the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative open- source treatment of the subject available anywhere.
