| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines Chinese nation building in the post-Cold War era
from the perspective of foreign policy. It focuses on the role of Japan and the United
States as significant "Others" in Chinese leaders' construction of three major variants
of Chinese national identity: as a victim (past), as a developing country (present) and
as a great power (future). The article argues that Japan occupies a primary place in the
enactment of the past aspect of Chinese identity, while the US plays a major role in its
present and, especially, future aspects. |
