I found this to be the interesting paragraph:

Perhaps the ultimate danger of an ultramodern Chinese military is to China itself. The apparent preeminence of the Communist Party notwithstanding, there is growing tension between the government and the military over both foreign and domestic policy. A coup that put the military in firm control would dramatically ratchet up world tensions, particularly if that military were equipped with weapons and technologies comparable to ours.

This is strange. It is also happening in the Former Soviet Union. The Red Army wants to reconstitute itself and bring back Communism in the Former USSR, and the Chinese military is not pleased with Hu Jintao's more liberal policies compared with the older members of the Politboro in China. Same thing with Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
