With a focus on tensions and connections between national formation and international outlooks, Wang shows how ancient visions persist even as China has adopted and revised the Western nation-state form. The concept of tianxia, meaning "all under heaven," has constantly been updated into modern outlooks that value unity, equality, and reciprocity as key to overcoming interstate conflict, social fragmentation, and ethnic divides. Instead of geopolitical dominance, China's worldviews stem as much from the age-old desire for world unity as from absorbing the Western ideas of the Enlightenment, humanism, and socialism. Examining political writings, literature, and film, Wang presents a narrative of the country's pursuits of decolonization, national independence, notions of national form, socialist internationalism, alternative development, and solidarity with Third World nations. Rather than national exceptionalism, Chinese worldviews aspire to a shared, integrated, and equal world"$c-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aSinotheory. 517 $aChina in the World 607 $aChina$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aChina$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 676 $a951.04 700 $aWang$b Ban$0647257 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910708451703321 996 $aChina in the World$93363973 997 $aUNINA
