Více o knize

Focusing on the evolution of modern China, Ban Wang explores the interplay between national identity and international perspectives from the late nineteenth century to today. He highlights the enduring concept of tianxia, or "all under heaven," which emphasizes unity and reciprocity in addressing global conflicts and societal issues. By analyzing political writings, literature, and film, Wang illustrates China's pursuit of decolonization, national independence, and solidarity with Third World nations, advocating for a vision of an integrated and equitable world rather than national exceptionalism.
