AB - Since the establishment of communist regime in 1949, China has maintained “active defense” military strategy. China's active defense strategy was developed from 1) military experiences of Revolutionary War including Sino-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War, led by Chinese Communist Party's early leadership of Mao Zedong, and 2) China's unique geopolitical environment. China asserts that its active defense strategy is a military one of defensive character, which uses military power passively only after hostile powers pose threats to its national security. However, the history of China's military conflicts with its neighboring powers such as Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, India, Soviet Union, and Vietnam, after communist regime was established, shows that China's active defense strategy includes a number of offensive characteristics; preemptive attack, projecting military power to hostile territory, in pursuit of annihilating hostile troops, unilateral military coercion etc. Therefore, it is important to pay a sharp attention to China's ongoing development of military power, which can strengthen its capability to carry out active defense strategy more effectively and eventually support China to adopt a more offensive foreign policy doctrine in the future.
