Notes
The author has received help and guidance from many sources in writing this paper. Harlan Jencks has been very generous in sharing his knowledge and information. He has pointed me to many articles and papers that I would otherwise have missed. Xue Litai has offered great insights into the Chinese military and its relationships with the defense industries. Clyde Layne, Bates Gill, and Peter Almquist offered helpful comments and advice. Ms. Saundra Lormand has put in many personal hours editing the manuscript. The author would also like to thank the many Chinese contacts that candidly offered their opinions and thoughts.
