China's nuclear command, control and operations / Cheng, Ta-chen   Journal Article
Cheng, Ta-chen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract The issues of China's nuclear command, control and operations are a secret dominion and lack serious discussions due to the dearth of available literature. In this article, the author argues that China's command, control and communications systems suffer technological problems, despite the efforts being made. Owing to technological progress, China's strategic and tactical nuclear targetting plans are versatile, but its current striking capability is insufficient. The potential use of tactical nuclear weapons, which China has been developing for decades, could contradict China's no first use commitment. In a nutshell, the author is convinced that China's nuclear posture is more aggressive than its oft-cited policies, and the Chinese are constantly preparing for a more offensive nuclear posture against other nuclear powers, although China's nuclear operational capability is still far behind

Jiang Zemin's military thought and legacy / Cheng, Ta-chen   Journal Article
Cheng, Ta-chen Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Nearly for 15 years as the Chairman of China's Central Military Commission, Jiang Zemin, albeit lack of real military experience, has gradually developed his military theories and principles in the process of consolidating military authority. Unquestionably, Jiang is not only the core of the third generation leadership in China, but also the most powerful man in China's military until now. That makes researchers interested in exploring military thought of this man controlling the largest armies in the world. In this paper, Jiang's basic military framework, 'Five Sentences', including 'Politically Qualified', 'Militarily Tough', 'Attitudinally Excellent', 'Strictly Disciplined' and 'Materially Guaranteed' will be separately discussed. With interpretations of 'Five Sentences', the author will thereafter provide personal comments and analysis
