This dual encounter profoundly threatened the traditional forms of society and relationship in Northeast Asia (NEA). That the local responses to this were fraught, differentiated, and conflictual is hardly surprising. What is perhaps more surprising is how shared, and in many ways similar, their responses to the Western challenge have become. Japan led the way, but South Korea, Taiwan, and increasingly China have now caught up, and NEA’s place in global international society is largely restored. From an outsider perspective, there is more that unites these countries in both the Asian tragedy of the nineteenth and early-mid twentieth centuries, and the new Asia emerging over the last several decades, than divides them.

Part of this involves their shared cultural roots, but a world historical perspective on Northeast Asia also shows how Japan and China have often followed similar trajectories, albeit sometimes at different times, in their attempts to come to terms with their regions, modernity, and the Western-dominated global power structure. Their similarity makes their mutual alienation something of a puzzle, not least because there are other, potentially more constructive ways of seeing the relationship between the two than that embodied in the history problem perspective. There are opportunities as well as problems in the shared histories of China and Japan. If the relationship between China and Japan is in some important ways defined by the narcissism of small differences, then the key to changing it is to change the historical perspectives that support such a view.","PeriodicalId":169242,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Sino-Japanese Alienation","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121546195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
