Redefining Nationalism in Modern China

Why do the Chinese sometimes speak out against America, and yet at other times, remain silent? This book takes a provocative and innovative position: nationalist anti-American rhetoric in China is often really a means for people to criticize their own government, rather than that of the US. This book uses a variety of previously untapped sources, including a wide range of news sources within China itself, weblogs, and interviews with prominent figures, to make a powerful new argument about the causes and consequences of the new Chinese nationalism.

SIMON SHEN received his PhD in Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford, UK.

His works have been published in a number of books and academic journals such as the Journal of Chinese Political Science, Asian Perspective, Politics and the Journal of East Asian History.
