Views
Fu viewed the PLA exercises during the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis as successful.{{Cite book |last=Cunningham |first=Fiona S. |title=Under the Nuclear Shadow: China's Information-Age Weapons in International Security |date=2025 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-26103-4 |location=}}{{Rp|page=147}} Fu reported to the CMC that the 1995 exercises were "all extremely successful: they attacked the power of the 'Taiwan separatists' represented by Lee Teng-hui, warned the United States as the main outside intervening power, and they were forcefully accompanied by political and diplomatic struggles and were highly praised by the Politburo and the CMC."{{Rp|page=147}}
During the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the United States bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.{{Rp|page=17}} Believing that the bombing was intentional, Chinese leadership worried that China was significantly lacking in leverage against the United States.{{Rp|page=17}} A few weeks after the bombing, Fu contended, "[W]hen dealing with the United States, we must have strength, if we lag behind we will be attacked."{{Rp|page=165}}
Regarding counterspace weapons, Fu stated in 2000 that "following the development of space weaponry, outer space can be used not only for reconnaissance, warning, guidance, and positioning support for operations on land, at sea, and in the air in the future, it is also becoming an important battlefield for the adversary carrying out space-space and space-ground operations."{{Rp|page=255}}
