WING CHUN AND CHINA’S GRAND STRATEGY
Full text linkWing Chun is a martial art that originated three centuries ago in China. Its principles and spirit embody China’s warrior mentality and culture. On the other hand, China’s rising political, economic, and technological revolution is worthy of understanding. It is important to decipher China’s Grand Strategy. There are similarities in culture and style between China’s Grand Strategy and Wing Chun. As a result, China’s Grand Strategy can be defined by five key principles. The first principle is the simplicity of a policy of non-intervention in other countries despite having the power to intervene. The second principle is directness of a national cause, which has the purpose of reasserting territorial interests and reversing what has been known as a century of humiliation. The third principle is China’s practicality in technological innovation in evolving from low-quality products to unparalleled cutting-edge technology that translates in all its instruments of national power. The fourth principle is an economy for international business, which has transformed China’s economic system into a resilient economy that has the best performance in the world despite unpredictable circumstances. Finally, the fifth principle is the minimum use of military force, which has the effect of protecting the nation from external aggression and intimidation. Consequently, countries should decode China’s Grand Strategy if they want to counter or adapt it
“La llave de la mente” (“The Key to the Mind”)
No full textThis painting was created over the course of a week, and took several hours to complete (approximate ten). The primary inspiration behind this piece was Salvador Dali’s work, and I attempted to use aspects of his painting to create a surrealist piece. In the piece, an easel is visible, holding a head with blank eyes and a birdcage for a head. A snail and gulls are present, along with an octopus slightly obscured in the corner. There is a beach, and a key in the ocean behind it. This key symbolizes imagination, which can unlock endless possibilities through the mind. Acrylics and canvas were used to construct this piece
“Lovely Margarita” (“La Margarita Bella”)
No full textOn this piece, I spent three weeks doing around ten portraits, with each being different sizes. Each reflect personal interest, along with references to paintings by Diego Velazquez.The concept of this art was derived from a song by the Beatles- one of my favorite bands- titled ‘Lovely Rita’. This made for a play on words, as the main subject of the art was Enfanta Margarita, of Velazquez’s ’Las Meninas’. The primary tool I used was a wooden palette and acrylics
