Summary Given the centrality of “strategic stability” to U.S. declaratory policy, this study proposes to engage Chinese interlocutors to identify published understandings of the concept as they pertain to the maritime sphere, and the degree to which it faces challenges. Chinese writings and research on the subject have surged given recent U.S. emphasis on the concept. Evaluating and disseminating this is of interest to policy makers and scholars alike. This study proposes engaging with Chinese sources on the topic to deepen U.S. understanding of the Chinese views on the topic and the ways such stability might be challenged in the future with a particular eye towards developments in the maritime sphere.
