Abstract

This is the preface from a volume entitled Mao Zedong's Military Philosophy and Contemporary Business Warfare. title in Chinese translates as Can the dragon ever be bound? I have chosen to use this Latin line, literally Flying dragon in the heavens, taken from the early-eighteenth-century Latin translation of Qian, The Creative, the first hexagram in the Book of Changes.1 ill-lettered and cliche-ridden prose of this essay is typical of much popular writing on the mainland today. Bereft of the ideological standards of yester-year, yet incapable of clear and concise thought, this style could easily be taken as parody if it were not written with such dogged earnestness.
