The modalities of China's combinatory unrestrictive warfare strategy.

This article analyses the modalities of China's combinatory unrestricted warfare. After an investigation of the founding principles of Chinese military thought, the second part of the article is dedicated to the importance of technology in modern warfare and more specifically what Chinese military thinkers called "informatization," which enables a combinatory unrestricted warfare strategy. Through a geopolitical analysis, the last part of this article specifies the modalities of Chinese combinatory unrestricted warfare applied to China's security concerns: ensuring Chinese economic development and the preservation of China's territoriality, including Taiwan and its territories in the SCS (South China Sea) and ECS (East China Sea).
