Negotiating a deal in China requires patience-a wellknown Confucian virtue; persistence-something which comes with time; and survival instincts-something that comes with persistence. For both the uninitiated, negotiations in China may come as a culture shock, laced with frustration. For the experience China trade negotiator, it is a neverending learning process. For both parties, the secret to negotiating in China may well lie in the knowledge of the military ploys described in China's ancient classics.

Brahm applies Sun Tzu's Art of War, the ultimate guru's statement of military strategy and the Thirtysix Strategies, a collection of sayings which capsulize strategic prowess in ancient Chinese history, to modernday negotiating situations in China, both commercial and political.
