People's Republic of China Centers of Gravity

Abstract

The United States is well into the second decade of a revitalized relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). During this time, an unusual opportunity has existed to collect data and make direct observations to support a strategic analysis of the PRC's centers of gravity. This study begins by discussing the significance of centers of gravity to the contemporary nature of international cooperation and conflict. The study then presents the results of an analysis to determine potential national vulnerabilities of the PRC in five major non military areas.
