(U//FOUO) The China-Korea Strategic Assessments Cell would like to invite you to the next
installment of the NSA China-Korea Forum entitled " The Military Instrument in Chinese Foreign
Policy. " We hope you can join us to hear from the following speakers:

Synopsis:
(U) During a time of political and military weakness, Beijing relied on military power for ensuring
Chinese security in the face of challenges from hostile superpowers and their clients. The
reform-era brought with it changes in China's national objectives and foreign policy posture.
Beijing now espouses a policy of promoting a peaceful international environment; has integrated
itself into the global economy; and involved itself in a host of multilateral institutions. This has
resulted in an increase in the costs of using force. Despite the apparent emergence of the PRC
as more of a status quo power, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has accelerated its drive
toward modernization. The next installment of the China Forum Series will examine the question
of what role the Chinese military plays in Beijing's policies and objectives.
