The Chinese Strategic Tradition
Rather than start another thread seemed appropriate to put this in a recent China topic. I'll just post these links to two parts of an essay I came across. Have skimmed it only; will go deeper with morning coffee but seems a worthwhile look at a facet of China that may be of interest to those who keep a keen eye in that AO.
Part I
Part II
If nothing, some good recap of segments of Chinese history (and they have plenty to go around) that usually get short shrift here in the West.
