note = {Over the past few years, threat responses in China shifted from
territorial integrity concerns to vulnerability reduction and risk
containment. On the other side, the Chinese Armed Forces are preparing
for a war with an undefined adversary under uncertain circumstances.
This article analyses threat perceptions and narratives in China in
order to better understand the country’s security policies and
responses. Historical strategic culture forms a specific manner of
threat perception and therefore should be considered for a better
understanding of actual operations. From 1998 onwards, China publishes
its Strategy White Papers that serve both as internally aligning
guidelines and as externally appeasing agenda-setters. This article
analyses frequency and intensity of threat perceptions and
countermeasures across nine White Papers.},
