Summary/Abstract |
The Postmodern view of Chinese identity, with its emphasis on self-invention and culture performance, does not gel with the real difficulties of identity formation in the real social, political world. While the approach exposes the fetishism of race, it replaces race with culture still seen in totalizing, essentialzing terms.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper seeks to examine the People’s Republic of China’s (China) self-defined national identity and the consequences on China’s ethnic relations with its ethnic minorities. This paper argues that China’s identity is equated with the identity and culture of its ethnic Han Chinese majority—a narrative originally constructed by the Chinese state which its ethnic Han Chinese majority since indulges in. However, this hegemonic narrative is at the root of interethnic issues and tensions in China today, as further ethnic tensions stem from the resistance of ethnic minorities against Sinicization and the imposition of this “Chinese” identity against them. These phenomena thus both indicate what I term a weak “internal soft power appeal” of Han Chinese Confucian culture for ethnic minorities living in the PRC, and imply that China must adopt a different, more inclusive national identity if it were to maintain ethnic stability in the long term.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper attempts to provide a concrete response and analysis to the decline of Chinese identity in Taiwan. Our focus is on the problem of "Chinese identity" and how this identity is gradually fading, as is evident in long-term public opinion polls conducted by various academic institutions in Taiwan between 1992 and 2012. This paper provides two perspectives to analyze the phenomenon. One is that the occurrence of political events impacts identification, and creates a lasting effect on younger generations. These events seem to have a greater and more continuous impact on the younger and better educated generations. Second, the gradual passing with age of the first generation of waishengren (people of Mainland Chinese origin who came to Taiwan after World War II and their descendents) has contributed somewhat to the decline of Chinese identity, but not enough to be a critical factor. Therefore, this paper provides a preliminary explanation that political events play a key role in influencing the decline of "Chinese identity" in Taiwan.

Summary/Abstract |
The Chinese in Indonesia suffered considerable discrimination particularly during Suharto's rule (1967-1998). They were considered a foreign threat that needed to be kept under state control. Since the end of Suharto's regime and as a result of liberalisasi, demokratisasi and desentralisasi a revival of Chinese identity has set in, initiating a public discourse on the compatability of Chinese and Indonesian identity. This discourse refers to different categories of identification which are connected with specific conceptualizations concerning the interrelatedness of indigeneity, ethnicity and nationalism in Indonesia and Jakarta in particular.
1This paper is based on the analysis of the relevant literature concerning its theme and of the data gathered during field research in Jakarta between 2000 and 2002 and during shorter stays thereafter. Most responses and statements by informants quoted in this paper have been translated from Indonesian to English. In some cases, conversations and interviews took place in different languages besides Indonesian, namely in English, German and/or Dutch, because informants wanted to practise their foreign language knowledge.

Summary/Abstract |
This article explores what we can learn about the history of the Han Chinese by bringing textual sources into conversation with current genetic research. It looks first at what Chinese wrote about their "we group" versus foreign others, especially in the long Middle Period from 400 to 1500, with attention to social and political context. It then turns to the genetic evidence, both from contemporary populations in the PRC and from ancient DNA from archaeological sites. When we look at both sets of evidence together, we are better able to evaluate the significance of each and come to a more grounded understanding of the growth of the Han Chinese ethnic group over time.

Summary/Abstract |
How and to what extent can China be more accurately understood? Is China best understood as it is or through theories that appear to reveal its nature? John Wong is an example of the former approach, a pursuer of economic realism in the discipline of economic analysis. This paper first describes John Wong's conceptual model of Chinese economic development, which consists of three major components: Singapore as the reference point; economic scale as the first adjusted variable; and economic development phase as the second variable. The paper further explores sources of his choice of methodology through the positionality of his research. He cannot be neatly categorized in any existing school of economic analysis of the Western academic tradition but pursues his accurate understanding of China through pragmatism; his institutionalized research position constitutes the methodological foundation for his research strategy and conceptual framework.

Summary/Abstract |
This article introduces the special issue exploring the question "What Does It Mean to Be or to Become Chinese?" Eight leading scholars from diverse backgrounds and disciplines wrote articles that discuss this question from three (somewhat overlapping) perspectives: A descriptive perspective, a historical perspective, and a normative perspective. I summarize each article and add some critical commentary.
