The Art of Industrial Warfare is an introduction to an industrial self defence system which is designed to allow businesses to protect themselves against competitors from all over the world who do not follow the trade rules set by the leading powers of the 20th century.

The West, having won the 20th century ideological battle between Soviet communism and Western capitalism, was slow to realise that the battle with China was no longer ideological but a straight fight between Chinese and Western capitalism.

A British company, 7Tao, was quick to realize that the 21st century would be dominated by this struggle between an emergent China and a declining USA, and, more generally, by a decline in the industrial dominance of the West and a rise in the importance of East Asia.

Appreciating that the existing Western business models were inadequate for countering the growing dominance of Chinese business, in 1999 the author began developing and teaching the art of industrial warfare through a powerful Chinese business methodology he named 7Tao.

To the Chinese, competing in the global economy is a combat discipline, so what better way of dealing with the situation than using their tactics? This revised edition in 2022 reveals some of the most inspiring secrets of the Chinese business practice of Sun Tzu based industrial warfare so that the West can compete again on a level playing field.
