中国现代局部战争理论与美国有限战争理论之比较

In research concerning transformations in the shape of war after World War Two, the U.S. and Western nations mainly use the concept of limited war while China mainly uses the concept of local war. Some academics both in the U.S. and China viewed these two concepts as the same thing. They obviously contain some common contents. For example, they both highlighted Clausewitz's famous remark that war is an "continuation of political activity by other means," in which U.S. theory of limited war maintained that the basic principle of limited war is the "politics-first principle." Mao Zedong also considered the Sino-Indian Border self-defense War as "a political military war or a military political war."
