This holiday seasons gave me the blues.........

anyways, One of the problem with the articles I have is that they tends to generalized the "chinese-ness" if there is such a thing. I would perfect the good Col would use "PRC leadership" instead. surely, the mindset of the PRC leaders differed from that of the KMT/Republican/Qing/Ming thinkings/thinkers. (Neo-Sun Tze-ian?) In China, different school of strategy were used at different period of time, I would be careful on over overgeneralizing it.

Master Sun stated "The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected." However, for both Mao and Deng, war is politic by another means.
