Please explain the basic spirit of Sun Tzu's Art of War and talk about its application in modern warfare with examples.

Sun Tzu's art of war pointed out that war is a national event, which is related to the life and death of the country. Without serious investigation and study, we must attach great importance to it. If a country does not attach importance to war, it will endanger its own survival and development. There are countless examples of recession in ancient and modern China and abroad without fighting.

In modern wars, this idea of "preparing for war" is a necessary measure to protect national security, and the country needs to continuously enhance its economic, political and military strength. Only in this way can it be economically beneficial, politically reliable and militarily helpful, and can it occupy the initiative of "causing people without causing people" in the complicated international situation.

On the other hand, if we rely on it not to come and rely on it not to attack, the country will be in danger. 1In February 1990, Iraq dispatched a large army to occupy Kuwait, a small Gulf country, which shocked the world and triggered a large-scale local war after the Cold War. An important lesson of Kuwait's national subjugation is paralysis.
