Hannah Marchiny, Analysis of Sun Tzu's Art of War
Abstract
America faces troubling times with various countries presenting unique threats. Few are more troubling than China. Now more than ever the U.S. needs effective strategies to combat global threats. To that end, I use Sun Tzu’s book Art of War as my main source for strategic wisdom. Sun Tzu’s principles have endured as long as they have because of their continued relevance in every generation and situation. In my paper, I discuss a few of the main tenets of Sun Tzu’s famous Art of War and how China is currently employing them against the U.S. I explain how China’s masterful understanding and practice of Sun Tzu’s principles makes China such a prominent national security threat to the U.S. I offer an overview of the book, China’s embrace of discussed strategies, and then how the U.S. can and should learn from Sun Tzu to become more effective in national security.
