China expands military partnerships as its shifts focus from inward to outward
China’s perception of how it needs to engage with the world has shifted over time, with it now looking to grow its sphere of influence through its armed forces, according to a military expert.
Veerle Nouwens, the executive director of IISS-Asia, spoke to BFBS Forces News about China's growing military cooperation with other nations, explaining how a country with a historically inward-focused military strategy now seemed to be expanding its horizons.
Ms Nouwens said there had been a shift in strategic thinking in the military that China needs to be able to protect its assets around the world.
