Abstract
The People’s Republic of China has carried out disarmaments for ten times since her founding. Though the disarmament of mainland China, the so called “fewer but better troops” policy since Jiang Zemin’s incumbency, has adjusted and downsized her personnel, apparatus, and command institutions in full, the country has been renewing her apparatus, uplifting the quality of the cadre, and recruiting new soldiers widely at the same time. With regard to many actions by mainland China and in contrast to “the New Security Concept” and “the Peaceful Development” of “the Multilateral Cooperation” emphasized by the Chinese government, whether the policy is as normal as what the Chinese government has claimed to be, which bears no influence, or whether it is true as what many exterior resources have shown, that there are a lot of purposes hidden behind, the answer is unknown. Featuring “the Disarmament Policy of the Chinese Government under New Security Concept”, the essay does comparisons and analyses on it.he essay adopts “the study of strategy” as an approach, dealing with the problem regarding the Disarmament Policy of the Chinese Government under the New Security Concept with research methods in policy decision, literature review method, and comparative method. In terms of the structure of the essay, it can be divided into three major parts: preface, text, and conclusion. Beginning with the discussion of the background which constitutes the New Security Concept in mainland China in its second chapter, the text then commends on, in chapter three and four, the adjustment of the security concept the Chinese government bears toward herself particularly in response to her changes in the Post Cold War Security environment, and “the fewer but better troops” disarmament policy she carries out following the trend of war forms going into information warfare, with the research of both longitudinal and interspatial contrastive analyses. Lastly, the fifth chapter, based on the discussion of the disarmament policy under the New Security Concept by the Chinese government in the previous chapter, evaluates its motivation and actions and clarifies the question whether the disarmament simply means a peaceful move and what are its effects on the defense of Taiwan.enerally speaking, the essay proposes that the Chinese government uses the New Security Concept flexibly in order to maintain her Regional Security and to mobilize the fewer but better troops policy, which centers on its informationalization and that her disarmament is a flexibility strategy of the fewer but better troops policy. Not denying the traditional Security Concept, the research is launched together with the Non-traditional Security Concept, and, taking this as its bases, the essay introduces the disarmament policy into its discussion as well, studying the disarmament policy of mainland China from the viewpoint of New Security Concept; therefore it is titled “the Disarmament Policy of the Chinese Government under New Security Concept”. Ideas given upon academic research are of its sincere concern.
