I think this also speaks volumes about eastern/Chinese philosophy, especially in terms of conflict. Winning the war, before it even starts. War is usually a tragic, absolute last resort, rather than first or second option, as in the West.
Indeed, it's a far more sophisticated approach than using blunt force the way the west does.
