Standing as the world's two largest economies, marshaling the most
imposing armies on earth, holding enormous stockpiles of nuclear
weapons, consuming a majority share of the planet's natural
resources, and serving as the media generators and health care
providers for billions of consumers around the globe, the United
States and China are positioned to influence notions of democracy,
nationalism, citizenship, human rights, environmental priorities,
and public health for the foreseeable future. These broad issues
are addressed as questions about communication-about how our two
nations envision each other and how our interlinked imaginaries
create both opportunities and obstacles for greater understanding
and strengthened relations. Accordingly, this book provides
in-depth communication-based analyses of how U.S. and Chinese
officials, scholars, and activists configure each other, portray
the relations between the two nations, and depict their shared and
competing interests. As a first step toward building a new
understanding between one another, Imagining China tackles the
complicated question of how Americans, Chinese, and their
respective allies imagine themselves enmeshed in nations, old
rivalries, and emerging partnerships, while simultaneously
meditating on the powers and limits of nationalism in our age of
globalization.
