Five Fingers of Tibet

Created by SignificantPBD (talk). Self-nominated at 16:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC).

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Comment: The hooks should attribute the strategy to Mao Zedong, since all literature on the subject attributes it to him in the 1940s. Any discussion about it in the modern context acknowledges that there are only hypothetical concerns about it still being relevant. It's more a strategy of Mao than a Template:Tq, just like one wouldn't write in a hook that Blitzkrieg is a Template:Tq. — MarkH21talk 00:42, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
I have given a detailed response on the talk page. In the case of Blitzkrieg, it was invented by the Germans but it isn't used by them anymore. Whereas it is not known if the "five fingers" strategy has been discontinued by the Chinese. Hence it is wrong to compare the two. SignificantPBD (talk) 00:06, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
It’s not known if it’s still used by China, so it’s a meaningful comparison. It’s only speculation whether it still exists in China. — MarkH21talk 21:23, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
That's true. Whether or not this policy continues to be a guiding factor in Chinese foreign doctrine is a matter for debate. But there are ample sources to confirm that it is indeed a Chinese policy. I have also changed the word strategy to a seemingly more neutral one, "policy". SignificantPBD (talk) 21:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
