Second, the PLA is committed to the transformation in military affairs with Chinese characteristics. Third, the PLA is eager to learn from the U.S. military to expand and improve its operational capabilities. Finally, the PLA has made progress in its transformation and operational capabilities. For a long time, American leaders have been surprised with the PLA's advances. This volume (and many of the previous volumes from past PLA conferences) show that these advances did not come out of the blue. Although much of the learning and many of the improvements are still far from what is desired (from Chinese expectations and American critiques), and some of the learning has even created contradictions for the PLA, these persistent and diligent learning practices will eventually bring the PLA to a higher level of proficiency in its capabilities. The emergence of a much more sophisticated PLA in the coming years should not be a surprise."--P. 37-38. 606 $aCivil-military relations$zChina$vCongresses 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aArmies$2HILCC 607 $aChina$xMilitary policy$vCongresses 607 $aChina$xMilitary relations$vCongresses 615 0$aCivil-military relations 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aArmies 676 $a355/.033251 702 $aKamphausen$b Roy 702 $aScobell$b Andrew 702 $aLai$b David 712 02$aArmy War College (U.S.) 712 02$aArmy War College (U.S.) Strategic Studies Institute, 712 02$aNational Bureau of Asian Research (U.S) 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910703091103321 996 $aThe PLA at home and abroad : assessing the operational capabilities of China's military$93109641 997 $aUNINA
