military history through the age of cold steel and the era of mechanized warfare, and now developed to a” global Battlefield, “a new era.

so-called global war, there are two main characteristics: First, military security issues are a growing number of countries worldwide attention and participation. For example, the countries involved in the war in Afghanistan has reached 43, only the targeted 65 million square kilometers of the few terrorist organizations in Afghanistan. Currently, only deal with the Gulf of Aden by Somali pirates, there are dozens of countries around the world participate. Second, the world is becoming a battlefield. First, the U.S. has the world as a battlefield. In April 2003, the Air Force has proposed to have a “transient global strike capability.” In early 2009, the Air Force announced the establishment of “global strike command center” and implement “an hour hot topic worldwide,” the plan. Secondly, the network war has made globalization a reality battlefield for the first time. May 21, the U.S. Cyber ??Command was officially launched and began implementation of a worldwide network warfare, and offensive operations launched on the network. This first global network of battlefield, the smoke has been ignited.

battle this new era of globalization, we face enormous challenges in military thinking. First, it wants the military alliance? Battlefield in the era of globalization, we will find, for a problem, more and more countries to “allies” or “partners” in the name of form “alliances” to take action. Against the Taliban in Afghanistan is an outstanding example. “NATO Security Assistance Force,” in addition to NATO members countries, there are other countries as “partners” in the name to join. After the Cold War, the U.S. military action overseas allies or partners almost always took action. China has almost no allies formed a military alliance. Can imagine, once the “things”, China will likely face “the dilemma into isolation.” Therefore, the battlefield the face of globalization, China should also seek to establish some form of military partners in order to get rid of possible “isolated” status.

Second, whether the establishment of overseas military bases? Global battlefield is characterized by action on a global scale. The Chinese Navy ships out before facing the Indian Ocean Gulf of Aden to escort one of the biggest problem is supply. As U.S. allies, the U.S. base in Japan could rely on the implementation of supply, and why the Gulf of Aden to escort need to be made, the establishment of overseas bases in Djibouti, it alone? In fact, Japan would like to build their own system for global military operations. In the new era of globalization, the battlefield, the Chinese army in order to protect the country from overseas in the interests of global action, it should establish a global military “support system” in order to safeguard national interests overseas profitably.

third, whether to use military means to resolve the “problem”? Historically, many problems often have to resort to military this “brand.” Remember, this does not mean only to use military means to end. Korean War, the Sino-Indian border war and the Vietnam War, troops of China’s timely and decisive manner, and finally made in favor of our side “solution.” For Chechnya, Russia decisively use military means to curb the separation and independence of Chechnya. China’s military should also be beneficial in the rational case, for some blatant provocation and violation of the sovereignty of our territorial waters to take the necessary counter-military operations, time display of military power to deter from the effect.

Fourth, how to test the combat capability of our military is facing challenges. After the Cold War, the military is the world’s major military powers have received varying degrees, the baptism of the war. Most U.S. troops to fight the war, France, Britain and Germany the army also has participated in overseas military operations. Japan Self-Defense Forces to provide logistical support to the U.S. military through the Gulf of Aden to escort other reason is also to go abroad to experience the smoke of war. Indian army in Kashmir and the Pakistani army often “practice your skill.” In a big country in the armed forces, since the since the mid-1980s, only the Chinese army did not heard of the smoke of war. Through daily military training, military exercises, computer simulations and other means can improve the military’s combat capability, but these means and the test of the military war starker. In my opinion, should the Chinese army in a timely manner within the framework of United Nations troops in combat in the military exercise to test the army’s real capability.

battlefield the face of globalization, the emergence of the Chinese armed forces should fight local wars to fight “global war” in the direction of change. This is also the need to defend our interests abroad. The Chinese armed forces should meet in terms of ideology “Globalization battle” to come. Second, China should increase military participation in international military efforts, their integration into the international military arena up. Again, the Chinese army to locate their own role in the global battlefield. Finally, the Chinese army to do good deal with the challenges globalization brings the battlefield preparation. With the expansion of overseas interests, our armed forces should have in the world the ability to safeguard our national interests. (The author is Professor of National Defense.)
