Abstract

I challenge the dominant Western discourse on China’s rise. This discourse tends to reflect political construction rather than thoughtful scholarship. It is poorly informed by historical evidence and usually evades comparison of China’s conduct with that of other countries, such as the United States, now or in the past. It is also characterized by strong tendencies of groupthink and revisionist scholarship to adjust to prevailing official policies and popular sentiments instead of scrutinizing their validity. This discourse is not only wrong but also dangerous.

困惑和迷惑

我挑战西方关于中国崛起的主流话语。这种话语倾向于反映政治建设，而不是深思熟虑的学术。它缺乏对历史证据的了解，通常回避将中国的行为与其他国家(如美国)进行比较，无论是现在还是过去。它还具有强烈的群体思维倾向和修正主义学术倾向，以适应流行的官方政策和民意，而不是审查其有效性。这种说法不仅是错误的，而且是危险的。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
