This book examines Chinaâs naval and airpower strategic direction towards the Indian Ocean region. It discusses Chinaâs military modernization program along with naval and airpower capabilities including expeditionary nature. It analyses Chinaâs attempt to gain a strategic dominance in the IOR by means of investments and trade with the littoral countries, military-diplomatic relationship with friendly countries, permanent presence of naval systems in the Indian Ocean, and delivering âpublic goodsâ throughout the region. A comparative analysis of Peopleâs Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) expeditionary capabilities and Indian Air Forceâs (IAF) deterrence mechanisms is also included.
