This ... book argues that fears of China often say as much about those who hold them as they do about the rising power itself. It focuses not on the usual trope of economic and military might, but on China's growing cultural influence and the connections between China's domestic politics and its attempts to brand itself internationally. Using examples from film, education, media, politics, and art, Who's Afraid of China? is both an introduction to Chinese soft power and a critical analysis of international reaction to it. It examines how the West's own past, hopes, and fears shape the way it thinks about and engages with China and argues that the rising power touches a nerve in the Western psyche, presenting a fundamental challenge to ideas about modernity, history, and international relations."--Publisher's website. 410 0$aAsian arguments. 606 $aCivilization, Western$xChinese influences 606 $aInternational relations$2bicssc 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$y1976- 607 $aChina$xRelations 607 $aChina$xForeign public opinion 607 $aChina$xCivilization 615 0$aCivilization, Western$xChinese influences. 615 7$aInternational relations 676 $a303.48251 700 $aBarr$b Michael$g(Michael T.),$054302 801 0$bCDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811902203321 996 $aWho's afraid of China$94004161 997 $aUNINA
