碩士 / 銘傳大學 / 公共事務學系兩岸關係與安全管理碩士在職專班 / 100 / In response to the requirement of its economic strategy of “going out and bringing in,” China needs a global deterrent force that can meet its military security needs throughout the course of the globalization. This paper will examine and discuss PLA’s ability to deploy overseas. In order to obtain national interests, China’s security strategy is, on the one hand, to establish multilateral relations while keeping a low profile, and on the other hand, proactively engage in economic development and military buildup by adapting to external security environment.
This paper finds that China’s military strength has been substantially improved after decades of military buildup. The PLA is dedicated to strengthening the troops’ maneuverability for rapid response operations, enhancing joint operation capability, and obtaining power projection capability to conduct strike beyond China’s borders, in an effort to establish a military strength capable of offense and defense operations. The PLA has devoted a lot of efforts to military diplomatic engagement to keep abreast with the world’s military development. In order to fight and win local wars under conditions of informatization as required by its strategic guidance, PLA has placed a lot of efforts on the organization of special task forces, as well as emergency maneuvering operation, rapid power projection, and armed forces joint operation exercises. The PLA also held joint exercises with foreign troops and carried out cross-regional exercises to enhance command ability through close-to-real operational experiences, so as to augment the troops’ comprehensive operational efficiency.
This paper finds that China, for the time being, is not in need of military presence or military bases beyond borders to provide support to PLA’s operation. The most probable solution for China to adopt is to send PLA forces into the overseas support facilities center intended for non-traditional security missions such as anti-piracy, humanitarian aid, and disaster rescue operations, through diplomacy, trade, humanitarian rescue, or even strategic partnership with related countries. Once PLA successfully entering the so-called hotspots in Asia-Pacific, China will be enabled to strengthen its power projection capability within the range of Asia, which this paper concludes the primary task for China at the present stage.
