This book presents a comparative historical analysis of state-led
nationalist movements in Chinese history, which counters current
claims that popular nationalism in present-day China is strong
enough to sustain costly expansionist wars. Popular nationalism in
China has been on the rise since the early 1990s to the concern of
many observers. Some have even asked whether China will become
another Germany. A comparative historical analysis of pre-war and
wartime nationalist mobilization helps us better understand how
individuals formulate their opinions under extreme conditions. It
concludes that the public's weak perception of foreign threats,
taken together with pro-minority domestic institutions, may
significantly undermine the state’s efforts at nationalist
mobilization and thus limit its capability to pursue external
expansion or other strategic goals.
