You must not hate your enemy--the better to destroy him.
The supreme victory over your enemy is to transform them into your ally.

山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵。斯是陋室,惟吾德馨。苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭。孔子云:何陋之有?
“In the words of Master Kong, what is so crude about it?”
The supreme way to destroy your enemy is with the power of love.
Patriotism, love for your commanders, your subordinates, and in the end — love of your enemy, to extinguish their fear, ignorance, and hatred and attain bloodless victory. Surrender or die - and the choice is your enemy’s.
When you hate your enemy your judgment is distorted, you will over-react, striking too quickly or too forcefully or at the wrong place. You must be indifferent to your enemy in this sense: knowing your cause is just, his defeat is inevitable. Thus you can be detached about destroying him if you must, which makes his surrender likelier, concluding the conflict. Your strikes will be better applied, with the exact degree of violence required (I am speaking from much experience) if you are not filled with hate and rage but instead have a detached determined desire to destroy him despite having given him every chance for some better outcome. It is tough to be compassionate to the enemy. Yet, compassion to the enemy may encourage him to surrender. We must always give our enemy the chance to surrender, since people with no other option will fight to their death. Yet, most would prefer to live, if only given the chance, especially if they may keep their honor intact. This is also why we must target the enemy leaders, even though they are intelligent. In fact precisely because the enemy leaders have at least some good qualities, which are applied to bad purposes, we must destroy the enemy leaders first. That enables the surrender of the great majority of their generally less intelligent, but also therefore less dangerous and possibly less vicious, followers.
There are varieties of victory: less than supreme victory is to destroy your enemy and seize his resources. Failing that, to destroy your enemy and destroy his resources results in a mean victory. A great way to get defeated is to focus on seizing your enemy resources rather than destroying your enemy’s combat power. To destroy his combat power you must destroy his ideas, his weapons, even his body.
We must prioritize transforming enemies into neutrals, and neutrals into allies. I win all my wars, by choosing them carefully, fighting only when necessary, conserving my own resources, and capturing or killing the enemy and then seizing his resources. Ideally I transform enemies into neutrals and neutrals into allies and thus never must fight.
Read Sun Tzu, Rules for Soldiers. 孙子曰:兵者,国之大事,死生之地,存亡之道,不可不察也。“In the words of Sun Tzu: soldiering is a grand matter of state, the field of life and death, the path of preservation and death, and so cannot go unexamined.” (my translation).
“A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank. And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states. And the first cause of your losing it is to neglect this art; and what enables you to acquire a state is to be master of the art.” Machiavelli, Prince.
ALL PRAISE THE VICTORIOUS ENLIGHTENED ONE
WHO BURNS HIS ENEMIES HATRED OUT!
Praise to the all conquering victorious one
who burns out the hatred of his enemies!
Quickly come, enlightened one!

There are no “animal spirits” of any economy. Economists, above all, should be factual materialists, not dualists or any other form of ideologue.
Realism is accurate as a defensive deterrent position, but is inadequate to completely explain State actions. Ideology matters. So do non-state actors. State actors are not always rational nor are they always power-maximizers. Realism is only a part of securing peace. If you want me to write a book about world peace you must provide me an office and salary so your interlocutors will take this particular thug serious. Whoever coopts me first wins.
Chinese animal names arereally neat. “long necked deer”, “striped horse”, “terror dragon”, “tree mouse”, “sea pig”, “capitol fish”, the list goes on. Learn Chinese!

What does the Fox Say?
Foxes in Chinese culture are associated with mistresses aka concubines aka “the other woman”. Meanwhile, pink is associated with communist leaning people, whether in East or West. 欢迎来到台湾!
If you are a disgraced former Chinese foreign minister, or similarly situated, maybe consider putting in a lot of work regarding single parenting issues facing China / Chinese people generally to rehabilitate your career? Its not like there are not positive outlets for people with energy and ambition to actually help people. Politics aside, Yoyo is the best Anglo-Chinese early childhood language education show on earth! Singapore seems more intent on teaching the kids (most of them are Chinese) fluent English, relying (correctly!) on family and cultural ten dencies to inculcate Mandarin and simplified characters. There are few Anglo-Chinese programs for childhood language education in Singapore. Taiwan, in contrast, has many fewer native Anglophones by % and so probably needs more effort to attain English fluency among their future elite.
Anyway, given demographic deficits, expect extra-marital parenting to become increasingly tolerated then accepted and finally “normal”.
