what kind of an army is the pla?what
stage of development are the various branches of the chinese armed
forces in?what a level of development does military weapons and
equipment have reached?these questions have spurred a lively

overseas media。for this reason,wang wei、 xu dingxin believe that
writing a vivid and accurate series of the chinese army,for both

perinent。《中国人民解放军(英文版)》is one of these in the first series of books
on the chinese army。
