下一盘很大的棋 (xià yī pán hěn dà de qí): play a big game of chess
This comes from the 2008 article “Understanding China’s Strategy: Playing a Big Game of Chess” (解读中国战略：下一盘很大的棋！). (Here, the word “chess” {棋 qí} refers generally to any chess-like game, including chess, checkers, 象棋 xiàngqí and go {围棋 wéiqí}.) The article likens U.S. strategy abroad to international chess, while Chinese strategy is more akin to weiqi. The author contends that strategy in the Chinese game involves more cooperation between opposing players; weiqi is more about spreading influence over a certain territory than annihilating one’s opponent. The author asserts, for example, that while Taiwan is extremely important for China to eventually reclaim, the government lets its “pawns”--the Kuomintang and pro-Taiwan parties--alone. The article concludes, “It would be a great blessing to the world if competition followed the manner of weiqi and not the manner of international chess” (以围棋而不是国际象棋的方式进行竞争，才是人类的大幸).
