From Culturalist Nationalism to Conservatism
Y an X u . The Soldier Image and State-Building in Modern China, 1924–1945
The common soldier in imperial China had an extremely low social status, widely regarded as one of the most contemptuous elements in society. As the old Chinese saying goes, just as good iron does not turn into nails, a good man does not become a soldier. Illiterate, poorly trained, and undisciplined, they were often seen as no different from the bandits who rampaged the countryside and terrified local populations. Such soldiers had no place in a…
The Intellectual Foundations of Chinese Modernity
In the early twentieth century, China was on the brink of change. Different ideologies - those of radicalism, conservatism, liberalism, and social democracy - were much debated in political and intellectual circles. Whereas previous works have analyzed these trends in isolation, Edmund S. K. Fung shows how they related to one another and how intellectuals in China engaged according to their cultural and political persuasions. The author argues th…

Nationalism and Modernity
This article explores the political dynamics of modern Chinese cultural conservatism. It proceeds from the premise that modern Chinese conservatism, as distinct from traditionalism, was a response to modernity and, as such, a part of modernity. The article identifies the conservative with the nationalist, but not vice versa, and understands politico-cultural conservatism as politico-cultural nationalism. It will first trace the rise of modern Chi…
Were Chinese Liberals Liberal? Reflections on the Understanding of Liberalism in Modern China
Chinese scholarship over the past ten years or so, it is often thought that the intellectuals of modern China misunderstood liberalism, and even distorted it, because they failed to recognize classical liberalism, especially the link between liberalism and a free market economy. Consequently, great harm was done to the cause of liberalism in the precommunist period. This is a neo-liberal view that raises the question: Were Chinese liberals libera…

The Idea of Freedom in Modern China Revisited
Western historiography on the idea of freedom in modern China has tended to focus on its conception as service to the state and social ends, as illustrated by studies of Liang Qichao’s democratic thought; as a result, many other interpretations have been overlooked. This article locates Chinese notions of liberty in a broader context as a fusion of personal, national, social, civic, and moral freedoms. After revisiting Liang Qichao’s conception o…

State Building, Capitalist Development, and Social Justice
This article explores social democracy in China as an intellectual current and political movement, seeking to demonstrate, on one hand, its similaritiesto European classical social democracy and, on the other, its Chinese peculiarities. It revises the earlier historiography that viewed liberalism in China as irrelevant to the crisis of Chinese society at the time. Instead, it argues that social democracy, linked to state building, capitalist deve…

In Search of Chinese Democracy
Why modern China has been unable to institutionalize democracy is a long-standing topic of debate and the ultimate subject of this book. The greatest momentum for democracy, Edmund Fung contends, emerged between 1929 and 1949 with civil opposition to the one-party rule of the Guomindang. This analysis of China's liberal intellectuals and political activists who pursued democracy in the 1930s and 1940s, fills a gap in the historical literature on …

Focusing on the theme of the discrepancy between ideal and reality, this volume brings together ten previously unpublished studies on aspects of social and political change in modern China.

The journal aims to provide a forum for a variety of perspectives on th…
The Chinese Nationalists and the Unequal Treaties 1924-1931
The movement to abolish the unequal treaties was thecause célèbreof Chinese nationalism after the First World War. It was an extension of the late Qing movement to retrieve the rights and interests (shouhui liquan yundong) that had been lost to the powers over the decades. Whereas the quintessence of the late Qing campaign was economic nationalism and the means it employed peaceful, the post-war drive was highly political and at times accompanied…
Anti-Imperialism and the Left Guomindang
Anti-imperialism and mass movements, two dominant features of the Nationalist revolution during the period of the united front 1924-1926, underwent a qualitative change following the establishment of the Nanjing government in April 1927. The Guomindang's (GMD) break with and purge of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) marked the beginning of a counterrevolution. Reorientations in the GMD's domestic and foreign policies were evident, particularly a…

The Sino-British Rapprochement, 1927-1931
The year 1927 marked the beginning of a new Anglo-Chinese relationship. The Northern Expedition had split the Nationalist camp into the Nanjing and the Wuhan régimes, both of which conducted a savage purge, one after the other, against the Communists. Especially the Nanjing régime, which ultimately triumphed over Wuhan, wrought a significant change in Guomindang foreign policy. In line with the purge against the Communists, and with the rise to p…

Military Subversion in the Chinese Revolution of 1911
One interesting aspect of the Revolution of 1911 in China was the role of the new-style army. The new-style troops, as one category of revolutionary activists distinct from the civilian radical intellectuals, determined the opening phase of the revolution, initiating the Wuchang uprising and bringing pressure to bear on most of the provincial leaders. Their contribution was the physical strength which the revolutionary intellectuals, who provided…

The military dimension of the Chinese revolution
Despite a growing body of literature on reform and revolution in late Qing China relatively little has been written about the New Army and its role in the Revolution of 1911. This book fills the gap with a description of the military reform which led to the establishment of the New Army and the relationships of the New Army with the social order. The book also investigates a previously neglected area, the disaffection of the army and its direct c…

The Human Rights Issue in China, 1929-1931
In recent years the issue of human rights in China has been in the international limelight, especially since the Beijing Massacre of 4 June 1989. It is, however, not a new issue in the history of modern and contemporary China. Earlier in the 1970s and 1980s, a movement for Chinese democracy and human rights was launched by dissidents, though with little success. Nor is it widely known that during the first years of the Nationalist rule there was …
