An examination of Chinese history, stretching back over the centuries, reveals that certain themes recur sufficiently often and are sufficiently distinct from Western modes of military thought and action as to constitute a Chinese style of warfare. Among these themes are: an emphasis on stratagem over brute force; attacks on military as opposed to economic targets; a willingness to end a conflict once essential political goals have been met; and an emphasis on man as opposed to machinery (i.e., technology) as being the most vital element determining military strength
