How China's Production Capacity Is Redefining Global Power: Factories, Fleets, and the Future of Military Influence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798265263612)

What defines power in the 21st century?

For decades, military strength was measured in stealth fighters, nuclear arsenals, and technological breakthroughs. But another force is quietly reshaping the global balance: industrial capacity.

In How China's Production Capacity Is Redefining Global Power: Factories, Fleets, and the Future of Military Influence, Jod Pugh delivers a gripping analysis of how Beijing has transformed itself into the world's arsenal of industry. Drawing on history, economics, and strategy, this book reveals why the ability to produce weapons, ships, and advanced technology at massive scale now matters more than ever.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How the U.S. became the "arsenal of democracy" in WWII-and the lessons China has absorbed.
• The rise of China's industrial machine, from shipyards and drone factories to dual-use tech and civil-military fusion.
• Why quantity has a quality of its own in modern conflict, and how China's output compares with U.S. and Allied production.
• The global ripple effects: arms exports, rare earth dominance, supply chain leverage, and shifting alliances.
• What America and its allies are doing-and must do-to respond.

Written in a clear, journalistic style, this book is for readers who want to understand not just what weapons nations build, but how industrial power itself is becoming the ultimate weapon.

Whether you're interested in geopolitics, economics, or military strategy, this timely and provocative work will change the way you think about global power in the 21st century.
