What is the level of development of weapons and equipment that the Chinese army has achieved so far? Is its military strength a threat to the world? What profound changes is the People's Liberation Army undergoing?

The answers to these questions can be found in a series of books titled Chinese Military, which are the first official publications that feature a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the history and modernization process of the Chinese army, its publisher said on Friday.

Published under a cooperation agreement between the information office of the Ministry of National Defense and China Intercontinental Press, the books target readers with a growing interest in the profound changes in China's military, particularly those from overseas, according to Li Xiangping, CIP's chief editor.
