It cannot be understated how significant the book "Art Of War" is to China and her people. To anyone looking to do business in China this is essential.
Sun Tzu, the 500BC military strategist's teachings for centuries were a closely guarded secret. The Japanese exposed this secret to the world after occupying China in WW2. The strategies to this day can be applied to modern life whether it be law, war, governance or even family life.
"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate."
To understand China behaviourally either locally or internationally, no politician or businessman should assume he or she does without reading Sun Tzu's strategies. Sun Tzu was effectively China's Machiavelli.
