Introduction -- A Theory of Strategic Substitution -- China's Nuclear and Conventional Forces -- China's Conventional Missile Force Posture -- China's Cyber Force Posture -- China's Counterspace Force Posture -- Conclusion -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index.
This book examines how China has adopted information-age weapons—cyber operations, counterspace capabilities, and precision conventional missiles—as substitutes for nuclear threats in its deterrence strategy. Fiona S. Cunningham introduces the theory of "strategic substitution" to explain how China seeks credible leverage in crises without escalating to nuclear war. Drawing on Chinese-language sources and expert interviews, the book offers rare insight into China’s military modernization and the evolving nature of international security.
