TERRORISM: COMMENTARY ON SECURITY DOCUMENTS VOLUME 139 The Rise of China

Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents is a series that provides primary source documents and expert commentary on various topics relating to the worldwide effort to combat terrorism, as well as efforts by the United States and other nations to protect their national security interests. Volume 139, The Rise of China, examines the strategic implications of China's increasing economic and military power for the international community. Regional and global reactions to the growth of Chinese economic investment and property acquisitions are considered, along with responses to border disputes and other contentious regional issues.

The documents in this volume include several reports and studies prepared by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Commission, examining such topics as: the evolving state of the overall military relationship between the U.S. and China; the development of China's Navy; China's establishment of an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ); Chinese legal views on cyberspace and cybersecurity; general trends in U.S.-Chinese science and technology cooperation; and the impact of Chinese economic development on the United States.

Douglas Lovelace, Jr., is the Director of the Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S. Army War College. Earlier in his military career, he worked on national security directives. He holds an MBA degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a J.D. from Widener School of Law.
