Chinese Military Capabilities - Strategy, Technology & The Changing PLA

The modernisation of the Chinese PLA has represented a dramatic shift in the balance of military power in Asia. Over the course of several decades, the PLA has shifted from a primarily ground combat force with a large stock of outdated equipment, to one that is increasingly capable of projecting power and holding targets at risk over longer and longer distances. Having discussed the PRC's military budget, industry, rocket force and other critical drivers, today I finally want to give an overview of the PLA's changing capabilities and ask the question - what kind of force has China's modernisation process created, and how may it continue to evolve going forward?
