"It is a powerful contribution to the debate on the military capacity of China and a precious source of information for all scholars and analysts dealing with security issues in Asia. This book bears a great value as a realistic global assessment of PLAN's current naval capability, based on an impressively comprehensive analytical framework. Ultimately, the author succeeds in her endeavour to provide convincing arguments for diminishing the fear of PLAN, the 'monster' we are afraid of."
