Is China part of the world? Based on much of the political, media,
and popular discourse in the West the answer is seemingly no. Even
after four decades of integration into the global socioeconomic
system, discussions of China continue to be underpinned by a core
assumption: that the country represents a fundamentally different
'other' that somehow exists outside the 'real' world. Either
implicitly or explicitly, China is generally depicted as an
external force with the potential to impact on the 'normal'
functioning of things. This core assumption, of China as an
orientalised, externalised, and separate 'other', ultimately
produces a distorted image of both China and the world. This
Element seeks to illuminate the ways in which the country and
people form an integral part of the global capitalist system. This
title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
