  • China's A2AD and Its Geographic Perspective
    China’s A2AD and Its Geographic Perspective Si-Fu Ou Research Fellow, Institute of National Defense and Strategy Studies, and Adjunct Assistant Professor, Graduate Institute of Future Studies, Tamkang University Abstract Washington’s and Beijing’s access and anti-access strategies are constructed on the basis of two island chains. In order to countervail a rising China, the essence of the U.S. Asia pivot is reviving again the geopolitics of the Western Pacific. The term of A2AD is a Western terminology and its approximation in the Chinese strategic concept is China’s active strategic counterattacks on exterior lines (ASCEL) and today China’s A2AD capabilities have increased dramatically. China’s missile arsenal constitutes severe threats to its neighboring countries, and its surface warships and submarines have frequently penetrated the Ryukyu Islands. Due to its position in the center of the first island chain, Taiwan is of great geostrategic importance. It is the cork that keeps the Chinese naval and air forces bottled up within the China Sea. One simple option for the U.S. and its partner nations to counter Beijing’s increasing military strength is to boost their own version of A2AD capability. Taiwan should reshape its force structure with a strategy of asymmetry, combat credibility and resilience, as well as cooperating with the U.S. Asia pivot. Key words: A2AD, ASCEL, ASBM, island chains, Miyako Strait 81 82 亞太研究論壇第 60 期 2014.12 I.

    EAST WIND The Project Title: East Wind Format: Limited Series for SVOD Genre: Biographical Period Piece Drama Audience: 18 above Story by: Doug Ross and Roy Tjioe Written by: Roy Tjioe Series Consultant: Charles Wong, Great-grandson of Dr. Sun Yat-sen Produced by: Doug Ross, Roy Tjioe, John Liu, Doug Maddox Logline East Wind brings to life the fascinating true characters and explosive events surrounding the Revolution that finally overthrew China’s weak and corrupt Qing Dynasty in the early 20th Century. 东 风 Synopsis For thousands of years, China was ruled by the iron rod of imperial dynasties. In 1644, the Qing dynasty came to power, leading to an oppressive regime marked by widespread corruption and devastating military losses to foreign powers. The insidious opium trade, which the government was unable to eradicate or control, threw China into a nationwide epidemic. The Qing court’s defeat to England, France and Germany in the Opium Wars, and to the Eight Nation Alliance during the subsequent Boxer Rebellion, were devastating blows to Chinese national pride that lit the fuse of individuals who dared to stage armed uprisings against the government. EAST WIND tells the epic true story of the brave men and women, including Sun Yat-sen, widely considered the founder of modern China, and many others who sacrificed their lives for a better future. Many of the early uprisings failed miserably, forcing the revolutionaries into exile. With time and perseverance, they eventually succeeded, but their personal and collective losses were staggering. A power struggle would follow after Sun’s death, ending the initial series with more questions than answers.

Lea reviewed the West Coast’s (California, Oregon, & Washington) racial discrimination against Japanese immigrants and its eFFect on the home country. Japan was stirred to militancy over the situation. Lea went to great lengths to analyze the strength of the Japanese Navy and Army and declared that in a pitched battle, Japan had the edge.

The fate of the navy and of the nation itself hung in the balance. The Imperial navy fought valiantly against a technologically superior foe but was ultimately destroyed. Then, in Japan’s darkest hour, the nation was saved by a group of true patriots, led by a child warrior commanding a powerful new technology. All Japan wept. This Shonen Kurabu was the Future War Between Japan and Miyazaki’s story fascinates the imagination on America, “the greatest naval battle in a number of levels. It reveals the manner in history.”[3] which adults transmitted their fears, aspirations, and values to children and the role of Japan’s print media in that process. It also provides insight into adult Japanese understandings of international politics and their intense concern about Japan’s place in the early 20th century world order. More specifically for the purposes of this paper, it provides an entrée into the process by which war, real and vicarious, and the martial, manly 1 5 | 9 | 0 APJ | JF values it fostered were embedded andmost important expressions of this ethos was normalized within the very fabric of Japanese future war fiction, which enthralled and society.

  • Suggestions for Further Reading
    Suggestions for Further Reading to accompany Michael C. C. Adams The Best War Ever Second Edition THIS ESSAY is not intended as an exhaustive discussion of every noteworthy work on World War II. Instead, it seeks to provide the reader with a guide to some of the sources I found most useful in writing the text and to give students and general readers a list of volumes for further study that are well written, informative, and provocative. At times, there are too few authorities on a subject to allow for this kind of selectivity. one No Easy Answers A good survey of the interaction of global events between the wars is Daniel R. Brower, The World in the Twentieth Century: The Age of Global War and Revolution (1988). Also valuable are Raymond J. Sontag, A Broken World, 1919–1939 (1971), and William W. MacDonald and John M. Carroll, eds., European Traditions in the Twentieth Century (1979). The importance of the right to bear arms in a civic context is explained by John Keegan in the opening sections of The Second World War (1990). I examine nineteenth-century Western male involvement with war in Michael C. C. Adams, The Great Adventure: Male Desire and the Coming of World War One (1990). The idea that monolithic dictatorships were in a worldwide conspiracy was stated clearly in a series of films called Why We Fight, made for the U.S. War Department by Frank Capra. The first episode, Prelude to War (1943), makes graphic use of the Tanaka memorandum. It is available in video format.
