According to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, deception is a fundamental principle of warfare. He states:
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” (Emphasis added)
In essence, Sun Tzu advocates for creating a false impression of one’s intentions, capabilities, and position to gain a strategic advantage over the enemy. This can be achieved by:
Feigning weakness or inactivity to lure the enemy into a trap
Concealing one’s true strength or intentions
Creating illusions about one’s location or movements
By employing deception, Sun Tzu suggests that a commander can:
Gain an upper hand in negotiations or diplomacy
Disrupt the enemy’s plans and decision-making processes
Create opportunities for surprise attacks or strategic maneuvers
