The latest edition of Red Star over the Pacific explores how China’s growing sea power—shaped by both Western and Chinese strategic thought—threatens U.S. maritime dominance in Asia and demands urgent adaptation by American sea services.
In this third edition of Red Star over the Pacific, authors Toshi Yoshihara and James R. Holmes assess how the rise of Chinese sea power challenges American primacy in maritime Asia. Drawing on Alfred Thayer Mahan’s sea-power theories, now popular with Chinese practitioners and thinkers, along with Chinese theorists such as Sun Tzu and Mao Zedong, they consider how strategic thought about the sea shapes Beijing’s deliberations and examine how the Chinese navy has translated strategic ideas into operational concepts, tactics, and capabilities. It pays great attention to the missile threat while acknowledging the disruptive potential of emerging technologies like drones, AI, and orbital capabilities. The authors conclude that an age of strategic competition is upon Asia and that America must adapt quickly to prevail. The third edition updates the narrative, adds substantial new material, and shows just how much the world has changed around the American sea services in a such a short time.
