Master Sun's Art of War

By Sun Wu

The Art of War is a classic written by military strategist Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). In his Geneva speech in 2017, Xi said, "The Art of War, a Chinese classic, begins with this observation, 'The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road to either survival or ruin. Hence it demands careful study.' What it means is that every effort should be made to prevent a war and great caution must be exercised when it comes to fighting a war. For several millennia, peace has been in the blood of us Chinese and a part of our DNA." (Photo/chinadaily.com.cn)
