China's Mahan
This timely biography explores Admiral Liu Huaqing’s pivotal role in modernizing China’s navy and shaping its maritime strategy, highlighting his influence on naval doctrine, technological advancements, and regional and global security. Admiral Liu Huaqing, often called the “father of the modern Chinese navy,” revolutionized China’s naval strategy and capabilities. Under his leadership, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) transitioned from a coastal defense force to a blue-water navy capable of far-sea operations and nuclear deterrence. Liu championed a strong navy to protect China’s maritime interests and trade routes. His vision drove advancements in nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, shaping China’s naval trajectory for decades, including the commissioning of its first aircraft carrier in 2011. Drawing on Western and Soviet naval theory, Liu crafted a doctrine of near-sea defense and far-sea protection, steering the PLAN’s shift from coastal operations in the 1950s to global reach by the 2010s, forming the basis of China’s current maritime posture. The roots of Liu’s doctrine and reform policies stretch across half a century of sea battles, contested island landings, oceanic operations, shipbuilding, and technological development. These experiences continue to inform Chinese naval leadership today as they navigate ongoing challenges in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea. Liu’s life and legacy deepen our understanding of China’s maritime ascent and its consequences for Indo-Pacific security, serving as a vital resource for those seeking to understand, deter, or confront China’s growing sea power.

Chinese Naval Strategy in the 21st Century
Alfred Thayer Mahan has been called America’s nineteenth-century ‘evangelist of sea power’ and the intellectual father of the modern US Navy. His theories have a timeless appeal, and Chinese analysts now routinely invoke Mahan’s writings, exhorting their nation to build a powerful navy. Economics is the prime motivation for maritime reorientation, and securing the sea lanes that convey foreign energy supplies and other commodities now ranks near or at the top of China’s list of military priorities. This book is the first systematic effort to test the interplay between Western military thought and Chinese strategic traditions vis-à-vis the nautical arena. It uncovers some universal axioms about how theories of sea power influence the behaviour of great powers and examines how Mahanian thought could shape China’s encounters on the high seas. Empirical analysis adds a new dimension to the current debate over China’s ‘rise’ and its importance for international relations. The findings also clarify the possible implications of China’s maritime rise for the United States, and illuminate how the two powers can manage their bilateral interactions on the high seas. Chinese Naval Strategy in the 21st Century will be of much interest to students of naval history, Chinese politics and security studies.
