Book excerpt: In an address given at the U.S. Army War College, the author, Vice President of the Academy of Military Science of the People's Republic of China, set the foundation for a future relationship between the two professional military education institutions. In support of China's policies of 'reform and opening up, ' the People's Liberation Army is actively seeking military-to-military relations with other nations, particularly with the United States.

The speech is interesting for what it tells us not only about Chinese strategy, but how the Chinese government views threats to its national security.
