Diseases are everyday, ordinary occurrences intimately related to
people’s daily lives. However, as the metaphor of the “Sick Man
of East Asia” emerged against the backdrop of a weak modern
China, health care and the curing of diseases were turned into
grand state politics with far-reaching implications. This book,
starting with the argument for diseases being metaphors, describes
and interprets such incidents in China’s history as the
Abolishment of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Patriotic Hygiene
Campaign and the Cooperative Medical Services. In an effort to
reveal the internal logic of disease politics in the transformation
of the state-people relationship, the book analyzes key aspects
including the politicization and inclusion of diseases in state
governance, the double disciplining of hygiene, legitimacy
construction of the state, the remaking of the nationals, and the
expansion of the “publicness” of the state. The book argues
that disease politics in modern China has developed following the
path from nationals to the people, and then to citizens, or from
crisis politics and mobilization politics to life politics. In
addition, a marked change has occurred in China’s state building:
increasingly standard, rationalized and institutionalized means
have been employed while the non-standard means, such as
large-scale mobilization and ideological coercion, had been
historically used in China.
