Dive into the historical journey of Chinese Military Strategy with this episode of the Irregular Warfare Podcast, where SSP Director M. Taylor Fravel appears with LTG Charles W. Hooper to discuss how the Chinese military’s revolutionary roots have influenced its strategy over the last century, how technological innovations, changes in the international system, and important events within the Chinese Communist Party have all shaped PLA doctrine, and China’s current military strategy, with a special emphasis on the South China Sea and Taiwan.
