| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China has geared its diplomatic and military endeavors since the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait crisis primarily to discouraging the United States(US) from getting involved in a cross-strait war.By constructing combat systems able to hold US naval assets at risk in Asia, and by telegraphing the inportance it attaches to resuming control of Taiwan, Beijing hopes to induce Washington to stand aside or, at a minimum, to hesitate long enough for the Chinese military to accomplish its goals on the island. |
