| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines China’s academic debates on the regional order in Asia since 2012, by surveying nine thematic issues. Those thematic issues are not exhaustive, yet they provide an overview of China’s intellectual landscape on the key issue of the regional order in Asia. This study shows that the United States (US) might have exaggerated China’s strategic intention. Rather than aiming to replace US hegemony with a Chinese-led Tianxia/tributary system in the region, Chinese scholars advocate mutual accommodation between China and the US.
