「解放軍新聞分析 (PLA News Analysis, PNA)」是針對國內外媒體所報導之中共軍事相關動態所作之分析，採月刊方式於每月底出刊。本月刊係肇始於國防部委託國防大學主辦之「2007解放軍研究國際班」，基於外籍學員在結訓時表達我方對於解放軍相關研究均有獨到之觀點，可補西方國家對中共軍事研究之盲點，故希望能夠建立連繫之管道以持續獲得我方之相關研究成果。基於延伸每年度解放軍研究國際班之國際交流成效，乃發行本月刊，並於2007年9月創刊迄今。
本月刊採華人視角觀察分析中共軍事活動，有別於西式現實主義觀點，係因當前研究中共軍事者，多習慣接受美國相關研究機構所提供之論述和資訊，此原因在於美國擁有完整之情報蒐集途徑，得以藉由衛星等科技將中共軍事措施一覽無遺。但是此僅針對中共軍事相關硬體措施，對於藉由科技情報進行情蒐所不及之戰略意圖與行為動機，則西方現實主義觀點往往無法探究得知。此為東西方文化差異所造成，西方國家即便投入更多人力物力亦無法得窺全豹。
兩岸本屬同文同種，擁有相同的歷史文化背景，國軍對於中共相關軍事作為之研析，自是最能貼近真實者。此為國軍推動國際軍事學術交流之利基與優勢，亦為本月刊廣受各國相關研究機構重視之主因。
目前本月刊每月以電子報及紙本形式發送國內外各研究機構，包括美、日、印、法、俄、英等國之國防部及其所屬研究部門，以及各國相關研究智庫，皆每月索取本刊，且相關人員經常交換彼此訊息與研究心得，讓國軍亦可由此交流中了解各國對於中共軍事發展之看法與態度，此與廣泛結交國際友人一般，誠為發行本刊之主要收穫。
