Recent discussions of post-Cold War Asia-Pacific security have focused on China's defence modernization as constituting a major source of regional instability. It has been suggested that China's military build-up might upset the region's strategic balance, touching off an arms race, and increasing the likelihood of force being used to resolve territorial disputes over the Spratly Islands. This article argues that alarm about the "China threat" tends to overestimate the significance of China's recent acquisitions of Russian weaponry and fails to take into account internal and external factors that constrain the pace and scope of Chinese defence modernization.
