  • The Idea of China

    Guoqi Xu, Xu GuoqiBOOKThe Idea of China2026

    An acclaimed historian’s bold response to two simple, yet vexed, questions: What counts as China, and who counts as Chinese? China became a capitalist superpower by investing in globalization.

  • Asia and the Great War

    Xu GuoqiBOOKAsia and the Great War2016

    There is no single volume that shines a light on Asia's collective involvement in the First World War, and the impact that war had on its societies.

Xu explo…

  • Sports in China's Internationalization and National Representation

    Xu GuoqiARTICLEThe Chinese Historical Review2008

    At the dinner that concluded the founding congress of the modern Olympic movement in 1894, the movement founder Pierre de Coubertin expressed high expectations for the twentieth century internationalism that would be realized through his games. However, his new century would be a century of nationalisms which would have a strong impact on the Olympic movement. Even the Olympics, which were designed to express and celebrate internationalism, origi…
