Chinese nationalism is powered by a narrative of China's century of
shame and humiliation in the hands of imperialist powers and calls
for the Chinese government to redeem the past humiliations and take
back all "lost territories." The continuing surge of Chinese
nationalism in the early 21st century therefore has fed a roiling
sense of anxiety in many political capitals about whether a
virulent nationalism has emerged to make China's rise anything but
peaceful. This book addresses this anxiety by examining the
domestic sources and foreign policy implications of Chinese
nationalism in the early 21st century. It is divided into three
parts. Part I is an overview of the scholarly debate about if the
rise of Chinese nationalism has driven China's foreign policy in a
more irrational and inflexible direction in the first one and half
decades of the 21st century. Part II analyzes the construction of
Chinese nationalism by a variety of domestic forces, including the
communist state, the angry youth (fen qing), liberal intellectuals,
and ethnic groups. Part III explores whether Chinese nationalism is
affirmative, assertive, or aggressive through the case studies of
China's maritime territorial disputes with Japan in the East China
Sea and with several Southeast Asian countries in the South China
Sea, the border controversy over the ancient Koguryo with Korea,
and the cross-Taiwan Strait relations. This book was based on
articles published in the Journal of Contemporary China.
