This book examines the interplay of two sets of policies: the
Chinese government's policies to its borderlands and international
relations. It proposes a conceptual framework and argues that
China's policymakers fail to make complete use of the opportunities
in the borderlands for accomplishing foreign policymakers' agenda
to strengthen China's relations with other countries, neighboring
ones in particular. As a result, these foreign policies reflect the
political elites' inadequate consideration of the negative impact
of these policies on the borderlands, and underscore their worry
for territorial disintegration. Therefore these policies center on
the pursuit of central control through exercising
administrative-military coercion, making the borderlands
economically dependent, standardizing the cultural identity, and
indoctrinating CCP-defined ideology. The challenges of the
borderlands to the national integration are exaggerated so much
that political elites pursued control and standardization at the
expense of the identification of many people in borderlands with
the regime, China's international image and the relations with its
neighbouring countries.
