Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyze the rationale and likely impacts of Chinese military modernization, which seems focused to work as China’s instrument of power politics in the Asia–Pacific. Given that China is growing exponentially in the economic field and it has many flashpoints to deal with, its military modernization is understandably a historical inevitability. It primarily has the United States, Japan, and Taiwan to confront over the flashpoints, such as Taiwan, and the South China Sea. Concurrently, the United States’ alliance/alignment-building is going ahead unabated along with its military revamping. The article concludes by projecting the likely ramifications as response to such military re-vamping and re-positioning from both sides.
