A starting point for studying Chinese military reform

Where can a reader begin studying Chinese military reform and modernization?

Chinese Military Theory is a useful English-language starting point, but it should be read as an introduction rather than the last word.

The English edition of Chinese Military Theory offers an accessible place to begin studying the People's Liberation Army. The recommendation carries some uncertainty about whether the author also produced the translation. One volume cannot substitute for the wider literature on Chinese military reform, so readers should use it as an orientation framework and test it against additional institutional and operational studies.
