The thesis could not have been contemplated, let alone completed, without his encouragement. I am also grateful to the staff at the Fairbank Center for East Asian Research and the libraries at Harvard University for their assistance during my period at Fairbank as an affiliate in research; Dr Harlan Jencks who has provided invaluable assistance and was the first to present my work on the People’s Liberation Army; Mr Joe Bermudez Jr and Mr Stephen L. Sewell who provided me with invaluable material and assistance throughout the research and writing of the thesis, Mr David Fletcher of the Tank Museum, Bovington, United Kingdom, who provided material on British armoured car operations in pre-Second World War Shanghai, Warrant Officer Class 2 Ian Kuring who has been a mentor and provided critical comments and assistance in my research, writing and presentations of my research. I thank Ms Wan Wong of the National Library of Australia for her support throughout the thesis; the staff at the Australian Army’s Infantry Museum, especially Captain John Land; and Mr Mike Etzel of the Australian War Memorial for his advice and assistance. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge two people who greatly assisted me during the research and passed away before the thesis was completed. These two gentlemen were the late Professor Frederic Wakeman Jr of the University of California, Berkeley, and the late Mr Peter Labbett of London. The thesis could not have been completed without the assistance of these two gentlemen. Finally, thanks go to my family: my brother who allowed me to use his personal library; and my wife and children, who endured my dedication to research and writing for the duration of this PhD commitment. vi A NOTE ON SOURCES AND TRANSLITERATION Sources The most important sources of public domain intelligence and commentary on China have until recently originated outside China. The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) stopped supplying university libraries with translated material in 1997 and a primary source of material from China was lost to researchers. Defence and defence- related material is readily available from China but there is a lack of qualified translators in this field. I have been fortunate in acquiring a source of Chinese defence magazines and have been translating these regularly since October 2003, presenting the results in GI Zhou Newsletter which I publish. This is the only source of English-language information on many Chinese weapons systems and articles on the PLA available to researchers in the field. The Russian translations have been almost all done by Stephen L. Sewell, to whom I am indebted. Transliteration Chinese names and terminology are rendered in China’s official pinyin transliteration system. The exceptions are: (i) Source citations where names appear in the older Wade-Giles or other systems; (ii) The use of the name ‘Canton’ instead of ‘Guangzhou’ in the ‘Canton Commune’, a nomenclature which is also consistent the familiar name of Manchuria for dongbei, and Tibet instead of Xizang; and (iii) The names of historical persons, such as Sun Tzu and Sun Yat-sen. vii SUMMARY Tuo Mao translates literally as ‘shedding feathers’ but in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) it is the euphemism for removing the last vestiges of Mao Zedong’s vision for China’s armed forces. Mao envisaged letting an enemy strike deep into China and then be destroyed by a vast militia force using ‘People’s War’. His vision, to which the PLA only paid lip service, has been replaced by one employing modern combined arms forces, operating modular independent battle groups able to fight on and outside China’s land borders, hence the term ‘Shedding Mao’. It is the central argument of this thesis that by studying the operational history of the People’s Liberation Army, it can be proven that its operational art was forged in the period 1928-1937 and based on the Soviet Union’s doctrine of operational theory, continuing to this day. The significance of the thesis is that it revises and updates conventional thinking among external analysts about China’s guiding defence philosophy. This thesis shows that the doctrine of Active Defence has been the overriding concern of the PLA since 1950 and not any form of People’s War. Active Defence is based on three basic principles: no provocation of other nations; no bases anywhere on foreign soil; and no seizure of territory. The PLA’s articulated doctrine in the 1950s was to ‘Protect the North and Defend the South’. In the 1960s this changed to ‘Lure the Enemy Deep into the Country’ in order to crush him with ‘People’s War’. In the 1970s, this became ‘Prepare to Fight Early and Fight Big’. By using examples of the PLA in battle this thesis shows how the doctrine changed in light of failures in battle. The post-Mao reorganisation of the PLA to rectify these faults turned it into a modern military force, building on this legacy by transforming itself into a hardened and networked military. The PLA has now reached a stage of its history where it can fully implement its operational art that took root in the theories espoused in the 1920s and 1930s through the Soviet model, and tried to be implemented in the 1950s and 1960s only to be thwarted by the Cultural Revolution. The People’s Liberation Army’s operational art, this thesis demonstrates, has now come of age. 1 Introduction Without a militia, our regular army would be like a river without a source, a tree without roots, or a general with only one arm, and thus could never fight a genuine people’s war . With the help of the regional forces and the broad masses of militiamen in battles, the main forces can spare a free hand to form a powerful ‘fist’, seeking and creating advantageous opportunities to fight concentrated battles of annihilation.1 People’s war is used to cover the concept of a just war - one fought by the entire nation with honour - versus an unjust war - a war which runs contrary to the principles of China’s defence posture and national interests.2 An operational history is defined here as the history of how an organisation was structured, how it conducted its day-to-day activities, and how it acted upon policy decisions. It is the contention and central argument of this thesis that by studying the operational history of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), it may be argued that the operational art of the PLA was forged in the period 1928-1937, was based on the Soviet Union’s doctrine of operational theory, and that this continues unto the present. 1 .

  • The Chinese Civil War (1927–37 and 1946–49)
    13 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 2: THE CHINESE CIVIL WAR (1927–37 AND 1946–49) As you read this chapter you need to focus on the following essay questions: • Analyze the causes of the Chinese Civil War. • To what extent was the communist victory in China due to the use of guerrilla warfare? • In what ways was the Chinese Civil War a revolutionary war? For the first half of the 20th century, China faced political chaos. Following a revolution in 1911, which overthrew the Manchu dynasty, the new Republic failed to take hold and China continued to be exploited by foreign powers, lacking any strong central government. The Chinese Civil War was an attempt by two ideologically opposed forces – the nationalists and the communists – to see who would ultimately be able to restore order and regain central control over China. The struggle between these two forces, which officially started in 1927, was interrupted by the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war in 1937, but started again in 1946 once the war with Japan was over. The results of this war were to have a major effect not just on China itself, but also on the international stage. Mao Zedong, the communist Timeline of events – 1911–27 victor of the Chinese Civil War. 1911 Double Tenth Revolution and establishment of the Chinese Republic 1912 Dr Sun Yixian becomes Provisional President of the Republic.

  • Twilight 2000
    TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.

    Projecting Strength in a Time of Uncertainty: China’s Military in 2020 Joel Wuthnow, Ph.D. Senior Research Fellow Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs Institute for National Strategic Studies National Defense University Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing on “U.S-China in 2020: Enduring Problems and Emerging Challenges” September 9, 2020 Key Points • The Chinese Communist Party has long considered 2020 a milestone for the completion of important military modernization and reform goals. Chinese officials and media projected confidence that these goals would be completed despite the impact of COVID- 19. Achievements over the past year included new hardware and operational “firsts.” • Chinese media and officials note that there is much ‘unfinished business’ left for the PLA to accomplish. Major challenges include delayed reforms, outdated weapons and equipment, corruption in the officer corps and defense industry, human capital weaknesses, and the lack of updated operational doctrine. The PLA aspires to continue progress on these and other areas through 2035 and mid-century. • Chinese military operations in Asia in 2020 continued a careful balancing act of developing friendly relations with neighbors while pressing China’s territorial claims. However, notable departures from past practice included use of lethal force against Indian troops and escalating tensions with several rivals at the same time. This indicates an increasing propensity for risk-taking in China’s decision calculus, though Beijing ultimately de-escalated tensions with most of its regional rivals. • The PLA’s response to increased U.S. military operations in Asia includes deterrence signaling and steps to weaken U.S.

    The Darkest Red Corner Chinese Communist Intelligence and Its Place in the Party, 1926-1945 Matthew James Brazil A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Business School University of Sydney 17 December 2012 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.
