From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zhang Wenmu (Chinese: 张文木) is a Chinese geopolitician and strategist.[1] Zhang is currently a professor at the Center for Strategic Studies at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, an executive director of the World Socialism Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and a director of the China Pacific Society.[2] He is a columnist for Chinese nationalist websites such as Utopia, Red Song Society and Guancha.cn. Zhang has a nationalistic political orientation.[3] He is known as China's "hawkish scholar" because he believes that China should continue Mao's ideas in its strategy.[4] Because of his views on maritime power, The National Interest called him one of China's first "navalists".[5] Zhang is regarded as China's leading advocates of the theories of the American strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan.[6]
