The recent release of a new edition of Science of Military Strategy (SMS) signals the potential for dramatic shifts in the PLA's approach to a number of strategic questions, but the book remains under-utilized by many Western China analysts due to the lack of both an English translation and expert analysis to place these changes into context. China's Evolving Military Strategy aims to bring knowledge of these important developments to a mass audience of China watchers, policymakers, and the broader foreign policy community by providing a sector-by-sector analysis of changes in the PLA's thinking and approach from the previous edition of SMS to the present.
