From fear and anxiety, to celebration, China's rise has provoked a
variety of responses across the world. In light of this phenomenon,
how are our understandings of China produced? From West to East,
Mobo Gao interrogates knowledge production; rejecting the supposed
objectivity of empirical statistics and challenging the assumption
of a dichotomy between the Western liberal democracy and Chinese
authoritarianism. By examining issues such as the Chinese
Neo-Enlightenment and neoliberalism, national interest vested in
Western scholarship, representations of the Great Leap Forward and
the Cultural Revolution, and the South China Sea, the book asks:
how is contemporary China constructed? By dissecting the political
agenda and conceptual framework of commentators on China, Gao
provocatively urges those not only on the Right, but also on the
Left, to be self-critical of their views on Chinese politics,
economics and history.
