This paper specifically focuses on four key weapons platforms that have been discussed as 'surprise' developments to U.S. analysts. Based on the four case studies covered in this report, there are no universal trends in publicly reported U.S. government analysis on the development of indigenous Chinese weapon systems. The trends of past decades are no longer a reliable guide to the performance of China's defense industries. Furthermore, U.S. observers should not take at face value statements from the Chinese government on military policy, as they could either be deceptive, or simply issued by agencies (e.g., the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs) that have no real say over military matters. Based on the trends identified in this paper, U.S. analysts and policymakers should expect to see continued advancements in the ability of the PRC to produce modern weapons platforms, and an attendant increase in the operational capabilities of the People's Liberation Army. 606 $aSubmarines (Ships)$zChina 606 $aBallistic missiles$zChina 606 $aAnti-satellite weapons$zChina 606 $aAirplanes, Military$zChina 606 $aAirplanes, Military$2fast 606 $aAnti-satellite weapons$2fast 606 $aArmed Forces$xWeapons systems$2fast 606 $aBallistic missiles$2fast 606 $aMilitary policy$2fast 606 $aSubmarines (Ships)$2fast 607 $aChina$xArmed Forces$xWeapons systems 607 $aChina$xMilitary policy 607 $aChina$2fast 615 0$aSubmarines (Ships) 615 0$aBallistic missiles 615 0$aAnti-satellite weapons 615 0$aAirplanes, Military 615 7$aAirplanes, Military. 615 7$aAnti-satellite weapons. 615 7$aArmed Forces$xWeapons systems. 615 7$aBallistic missiles. 615 7$aMilitary policy. 615 7$aSubmarines (Ships) 700 $aChang$b Amy$c(Researcher),$01394747 702 $aDotson$b John 712 02$aU.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, 801 0$bDID 801 1$bDID 801 2$bZCU 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910716622903321 996 $aIndigenous weapons development in China's military modernization$93527171 997 $aUNINA
