How to Train a Dragon: How the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Modernizes to Fight and Win Wars
Abstract
In November 2011, when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton published Americas Pacific Century in Foreign Policy magazine, the Obama Administration was unmistakably acknowledging a transformation in US foreign policy. This article described the beginnings of a United States pivot away from Europe, and to a lesser degree the Middle East, toward the Asia-Pacific region. The 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance codifies that shift in US foreign policy and renewed interest in US Asia-Pacific strategy, to include the capabilities of the regional power, China.
