Revisiting Qing History and China's Identity
This chapter explores the complexities of the tribute system in Chinese history and its misinterpretations in modern political discourse. It critically examines differing narratives of China's expansionism and peaceful rise while introducing the concept of new Qing history, which reevaluates the Qing Dynasty's role and its impact on contemporary relations. The conversation sheds light on the cultural dynamics of the Manchus, challenges static views of Chinese history, and discusses the implications for China's multi-ethnic identity.
