In this succinct yet ample work, Zhao Tingyang, one of China's most
distinguished intellectuals, provides a profoundly original
philosophical interpretation of China's story and also develops a
Chinese worldview for the future. Over the past few decades, the
question Where did China come from? has absorbed the thoughts of
many of China's best historians. Zhao, keenly aware of the
persistent and pernicious asymmetry in the prevailing way scholars
have gone about theorizing China according to Western concepts and
categories, has tasked both Chinese and Western scholars to
"rethink China." Zhao introduces what he terms a distinctively
Chinese centripetal "whirlpool" model of world order to interpret
the historical progression of China's tianxia (All under Heaven)
identity construction. In this book, Zhao forwards a compelling
thesis not only on how we should understand China, but also on how
China until recently has understood itself.
