This report synthesizes insights from two longer RAND Arroyo Center reports on China's development of basing, access and military capabilities over the next two decades. Overseas military access and basing is a critical component of China's global military ambitions. Faced with this uncertainty about long-term Chinese basing and access ambitions, what should U.S. decisionmakers and military planners do? This short report draws on Chinese sources and historical case studies to address four key questions about China's future overseas basing and access plans.
