Abstract This article aims to reveal and examine Oulipo’s engagement with China. While individual members like Michèle Métail and Raymond Queneau have seemingly contributed to the group’s affinity for China on a superficial level, a deeper analysis of the two Oulipism tendencies suggests this interest is fundamentally impersonal and detached. The essence of Oulipism means the group can never be fascinated by any single influence, even while remaining open to Chinese inspiration. Thus, Oulipo harbors what can be characterized as a disinterested interest in China—intrigued by its potential without becoming enthralled by it.
