When Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates arrives in China on Sunday, he will discover a Chinese military that has significantly changed in the 31/2 years since he last visited Beijing.
It’s not so much that the People’s Liberation Army has achieved stunning successes since Gates met with its officers in 2007 - although, despite significant problems, the military’s modernization has continued apace.
