Insider's Take

Take-Aways Sun Tzu’s 2,500-year-old The Art of War still influences Chinese leaders and people. China’s 5,000-year-old traditions make its international interactions unique. Central, authoritarian rule and scholarship date back 25 centuries to the teachings of Confucius. China’s huge and rapidly growing market attracts more foreign investment than any other nation.  Chinese business culture has embraced some Western norms but will remain distinct for decades. Confucianism, including emphasis on collectivism, steers Chinese culture.

Summary
Sun Tzu’s 2,500-year-old The Art of War still influences Chinese leaders and people.
Sun Tzu promises that strategists who know themselves and their adversaries can fight 100 battles, yet face no danger. In war or in business, the Chinese emphasize survival and safety over victory, and long-term relationships over conquest.
