The Art Of War
One of the most ancient Chinese writings is Taigong's Six Secret Teachings. In a chapter listed as "Civil Attack", the Emperor ask the question of the teaching Master, "How do you attack without military methods?" Master Taigong replies, "There are 12 ways." Examine Taiging's12 ways and make a judgement as to the modern Chinese Communists Party current course of action, as they relate to the 12 ways, on how to dominate the world and thus rule the world without military action.
1. "First, appeal to your enemy's preferences and follow his wishes." "He will become increasing proud and arrogant and do erroneous things.'
2. "Second, acquaint yourself with those who are close to your enemy in order to divide his power."
3. "Third, bribe your enemy's ministers and build a relationship with them."
4. "Forth, foster your enemy's indulgence and extravagance, encourage his lust and desire, bribe him with rare jewels, and gift him beautiful woman."
5. "Fifth, respect your enemy's loyal ministers and send them presents. Delay communication with his ambassadors and ignore their questions.
6. Sixth, "Bribe your enemy's favored ministers and keep the less favored at a distance."
7. Seventh, "If you want the enemy ruler to trust you blindly, you should offer him enormous gifts."
8. Eighth, "Bribe your enemy with treasure and persuade him to attack other countries."
9. Ninth, "Honor him with a glorious title and protect him from danger."
10. Tenth, "Pretend to be humble and obedient toward your enemy. Gain his trust and see how he is positioned."
11. Eleventh, "Block his access to information."
12. Twelfth, "Support your enemy's disloyal ministers to confuse his heart and mind."
After applying these 12 tactics, you can take military actions. When the omens from Heaven and Earth are right and all the auspicious signs are evident, you can attack him.
Well, what do you think? Examine the current CCP activities and see if these ancient teachings are being followed. Know your enemy.
