PLA Missions Beyond Taiwan
Abstract
KEY INSIGHTS: *The PLA is being assigned and training for an increasing variety of missions, including nontraditional battlefields such as outer space and cyber space, as well as nontraditional functions, such as United Nations peacekeeping operations. *These new PLA missions have created a large gap and resulted in tension vis- -vis PLA capabilities and traditional missions such as internal security, as well as major questions about operational and doctrinal integration. *Clearly, China's neighbors are watching the modernization of the PLA and the expansion and redefinition of its missions very closely, especially those affecting Chinese border regions.
