In terms of research quality! it shows the author's deep understanding of the issues involved. And in terms of writing style! the author is able to present some rather complicated and technical issues in a simple and smooth language.' - Australasian Journal of Human Security'This book is a clear exposition of China's arms control issues and afair-minded analysis of China's compliance behaviour in multilateral security regimes.
