It also looks into the relatively neglected historical factors which have redefined China's security concerns and strategic culture. Using newly available sources from China and the former Soviet Union, the book considers how interactive the parameters of defense changes were in a foreign war against Western powers, how flexible Chinese strategy was in the context of its intervention, and how expansive its strategic cultural repertoire was at the crucial moment to "defend the country." Providing a re-examination of China's military decisions and strategy evolution, this text narrates the story of successive generations of Chinese leaders and provides a key insight into security issuesin China and Northeast Asia today. 410 0$aNew Directions in East Asian History,$x2522-0209 606 $aAsia$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aAsian History 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aAsia$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aAsian History. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a951.9042 700 $aLi$b Xiaobing$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01227245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483073703321 996 $aChina?s War in Korea$92849636 997 $aUNINA
