A Case Study on Development of China''s“Local War Under High-Tech Conditions"--- Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1995 and 1996 / 中共高技術局部戰爭發展個案研究---一九九五、九六年台海危機

碩士 / 淡江大學 / 國際事務與戰略研究所 / 88 / Pofessor Niou, Xian-zhong remarked the 20th century “a war century": 50 years in "hot war" and 50 years in "cold war". Especially under the shadow of nuclear weapon, strategists have been forced to rethink the relation of war and politics. U.S. strategist Robert Osgood thought "Politics first" the first rule of modern war. Under the "limited purpose" of policy, the use of power should be "just" equal to the political purpose.
In the evolution of war machine, a new style of war was formed after the development of “precision weapon” in the 1960s. This new style was usually named “High-tech war”.
In China, after the end of cold war, the policy makers acknowledged the increasing of “local conflicts” which were subjected to the power relations of oppositional countries and the issues involved such conflicts usually transferred into “small war” rather than “total war”. In China’s point of view, Taiwan Strait are the “hot spots” of local war in the future. On the other hand, evolution from “people’s war” to “people’s war under high-tech condition” after the 1990s, china’s military strategy is “local war under high-tech condition”.
Base on the discussion of “local war”, ”high-tech war” and ”China’s local war under high-tech condotion”, the thesis raises a new model to analyse the conflict between Taiwan and China. This model took a part of Herman’s 44 ladders and transferred into 4 ladders. Each ladder has different political purpose and military aim. This essay also used five variables to analyse both sides’ military strategies: “lasting time”, “war area”, “commanding system”, “levels of operations” and “risk control”. By the new model, this essay tried to analyse the Taiwan Strait Crisis in 1995 and 1996. This essay also tried to find the both sides’ political puposes and military aims in the crisis.
