SEC. 905. CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CHINESE MILITARY AFFAIRS. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following: (1) The strategic relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China will be very important for future peace and security, not only in the Asia-Pacific region but around the world. (2) The United States does not view China as an enemy, nor consider that the coming century necessarily will see a new great power competition between the two nations. (3) The end of the cold war has eliminated what had been the one fundamental common strategic interest of the United States and China, that of containing the Soviet Union. (4) The sustained economic rise, stated geopolitical ambitions, and increasingly confrontational actions of China cast doubt on whether the United States will be able to form a satisfactory strategic partnership with the People's Republic of China and will pose challenges that will require careful management in order to preserve peace and protect the national security interests of the United States. (5) The ability of the Department of Defense, and the United States Government more generally, to develop sound security and military strategies is hampered by a limited understanding of Chinese strategic goals and military capabilities. The low priority accorded the study of Chinese strategic and military affairs within the Government and within the academic community has contributed to this limited understanding. (6) There is a need for a United States national institute for research and assessment of political, strategic, and military affairs in the People's Republic of China. Such an institute should be capable of providing analysis for the purpose of shaping United States military strategy and policy with regard to China and should be readily accessible to senior leaders within the Department of Defense, but should maintain academic and intellectual independence so that that analysis is not first shaped by policy. (b) Establishment of Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs.--(1) Chapter 108 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: ``Sec. 2166.

The Center shall include a core of junior scholars capable of providing linguistics and translation support to the Center. ``(e) Activities of the Center.--The activities of the Center shall include other elements appropriate to its mission, including the following: ``(1) The Center should include an active conference program with an international reach. ``(2) The Center should conduct an international competition for a Visiting Fellowship in Chinese Military Affairs and Chinese Security Issues. The term of the fellowship should be for one year, renewable for a second. ``(3) The Center shall provide funds to support at least one trip per analyst per year to China and the region and to support visits of Chinese military leaders to the Center. ``(4) The Center shall support well defined, distinguished, signature publications. ``(5) Center scholars shall have appropriate access to intelligence community assessments of Chinese military affairs. ``(f) Studies and Reports.--The Director may contract for studies and reports from the private sector to supplement the work of the Center.''.
