In the 21st century, China has become impossible to ignore. At the
same time, a vast array of perceptions and judgments of China's
actions and future have arisen. The confusion, Leah Zhu postulates,
is explained by decades of traditional modus operandi, which began
in the Maoist Era and misconceives China as a 'collectivist'
culture. This book, however, seeks to re-explore thousands of years
of China's history to demonstrate the country's adherence to an
alternative principle, 'relationalism'. Tracing the pervasive power
of 'relationalism' before and after Maoism, it examines the major
aspects of Chinese culture, including politics, sociology,
psychology and diplomacy. In doing so, it reveals the power of
'relationalism' as the core frame of reference behind contemporary
Chinese beliefs and practices. Furthermore, armed with this newly
established framework, this book ultimately provides a helpful
analysis of China's past political, economic, and judiciary reforms
and of how they are faring under the control of the current regime.
Featuring extensive evidence and analysis of Chinese culture from
ancient rites through to the 21st century, this book will be
invaluable to students and scholars of Chinese culture, politics
and society. It will also appeal to social scientists and
sociologists more broadly.
