China's New Nationalism: Pride, Politics, and Diplomacy
By
Peter Hays Gries
Three American missiles hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, and what Americans view as an appalling and tragic mistake, many Chinese see as a \"barbaric\" and intentional \"criminal act,\" the latest in a long series of Western aggressions against China. In this book, Peter Hays Gries explores the roles of perception and sentiment in the growth of popular nationalism in China. At a time when the direction of China\'s foreign and domestic policies have profound ramifications worldwide, Gries offers a rare, in-depth look at the nature of China\'s new nationalism, particularly as it involves Sino-American and Sino-Japanese relations - two bilateral relations that carry extraordinary implications for peace and stability in the twenty-first century. Through recent Chinese books and magazines, movies, television shows, posters, and cartoons, Gries traces the emergence of this new nationalism.
