Robert Weatherley examines the role of nationalism in Chinese
thinking on democracy and human rights spanning four successive
periods: the late Qing, the Republic, Mao's China and post-Mao
China. During this time, many of the debates in China about
democracy and rights have been tied to the question of how to make
China strong. The trigger is usually a perceived threat from
foreign imperialism. Following the outbreak of the First Opium War
in 1839, this imperialism took a military form, leading many
Chinese reformers to embrace a system of democracy and rights in
order to protect China from further foreign encroachments. In more
recent years, the perceived threat has come from cultural
imperialism, most apparent, Beijing claims, when the West
criticises China for its poor record on democracy and human rights.
This has led to the evolution of a distinctively Chinese model of
democracy and rights that differs significantly from that deriving
from the West.
