Vadim Kotelnikov on Sources of Competitive Advantage of China

In my opinion, the 5 main sources of strategic sustainable competitive advantage of China are:

① Chinese Language

② High Self-Sufficiency

③ Wise Widespread Use of the Universal Forces of Yin-Yang and the 5 Basic Elements

④ Deeper Understanding of the Art of War

⑤ Committed Children

  

 
   

Each of these 5 competitive advantages is powerful in its own right, but its their harmonious and synergistic combination that creates China's sustainable competitive advantage.

Growing Role of Systems Thinking

The complexity of systems grows with rapid development of IT. Mastering systems thinking means overcoming the major obstacles to inventing, designing and managing complex social, business, and economic systems.

  

 
   

Holistic intelligence is a great source of sustainable competitive advantage.

 

  

 
 

The most impactful deep subconscious barrier to systems thinking is thinking in a linear language (for instance, English language) characterized by a strict order of parts of speech in a sentence: the subject of the sentence comes first, the verb comes second, and the object comes third. This subconscious strict-order thinking habit makes it difficult for a linear thinker to understand chaotic complex systems.

Chinese language is based meaningful holistic characters and thus makes it easier for its natural users to think holistically and master systems thinking. Just compare these two synonyms:

 system ↔ 系統

Which of these languages do you think develops systems-thinking abilities better?

This systems-thinking advantage explains
why China's economy grows faster in today's era of systemic innovation.

Competitive Advantage of Chinese Manufacturers

One Goal, One Team, One Process

Chinese companies integrate their entire value chain into a seamless workflow, leveraging centralized platforms that enable real-time collaboration, faster iterations, and better decision-making.

Benefits of such approach:

① Efficiency: Leaner manufacturing, better utilization of resources, and continuous improvement;

② Innovation: Team culture favoring cross-functional collaboration and synergy innovation;

③ Speed: Fast to market.

Deeper Understanding of The Art of War

 

  

 
Sun Tzu: The Art of War

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

Sun Tzu

 
China's sustainable competitive advantage The Art of War wisdom  

The Art of War is one of the world's best books on strategy and competition. It was written in app. 500 B.C. and established itself as the leading treatise on confronting and defeating opponents through superior strategy. For over twenty-five hundred years, it helped its readers find competitive advantage.

  

 
Sun Tzu: The Art of War

Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.

Sun Tzu

 

 
   

Committed Chinese Children

 

  

 

 
 

Yes, children are the flowers of life in each and every country, but in China – where strategists think three or more generations ahead – children are also treated as a source of strategic competitive advantage for the country.

Look at the can-do attitude and skills of these kids and decide for yourself if they add to the strategic competitive advantage of China.
