Buddhist podcasts or China military plan

Today I had to make a decision on what to blog. I started thinking about how many decisions I/we have to make every day. For me, I knew this decision would probably be easy but I wanted to bring up both options and read through each media piece.
One was a link to some Buddhist audio podcasts, talking about What is Love among other things. The other was an email forwarded to me from a family member of a pdf of China's military strategy, declassified obviously. Being a hippie of sorts, I was much more interested in sending the love, but being a geek, I was drawn to the maps, charts, and graphs of the pdf.
Which one of these links do u suppose this quote comes from- the Buddhist audio or the Chinese military strategy?:

"Observe calmy; secure our position; cope with affairs calmly; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good at maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership."

Yes, its the military strategy specifically from Chinese leader Deng Xioping's (d. 1997) 24 Character Strategy. In the big picture, this appears to lends itself to show that China is quietly sitting around... and waiting.. for what?.
