Focusing on the interplay between national identity and global perspectives, the book explores China's evolution from the late nineteenth century to today. It emphasizes the enduring concept of tianxia, which promotes unity and reciprocity, and critiques the notion of geopolitical dominance. By analyzing political writings, literature, and film, the author highlights China's journey towards decolonization, national independence, and solidarity with Third World nations, advocating for a vision of an integrated and equal world rather than national exceptionalism.
