If China suddenly democratised, would it cease being labelled as a
threat? This provocative book argues that fears of China often say
as much about those who hold them as they do about the rising power
itself. It focuses not on the usual trope of economic and military
might, but on China's growing cultural influence and the
connections between China's domestic politics and its attempts to
brand itself internationally. Using examples from film, education,
media, politics, and art, Who's Afraid of China? is both an
introduction to Chinese soft power and a critical analysis of
international reaction to it. It examines how the West's own past,
hopes, and fears shape the way it thinks about and engages with
China and argues that the rising power touches a nerve in the
Western psyche, presenting a fundamental challenge to ideas about
modernity, history, and international relations.
