流动的中国国家形象:“中国威胁论”的缘起与演变

Liquid Images of China: The Cause and Development of the China Threat Theory

对一国之评价与对人的评价一样,都是不同主体在相互交往过程中相互建构的。一方面,作为一个主体,"中国"本身也在不停的变动之中,不同的国家统治模式,不同的对外交流政策,都会在很大程度上左右他者的评价;另一方面,作为评价主体的他者也同样处于变化之中,其关照面、兴趣与利益点,以及价值标准,也会影响他对观察对象的不同感受。无论是"黄祸"论,还是"中国威胁"论,亦或"中国和平崛起"论,都是这种主体间互动的正常反应。

To evaluate a country is somehow similar as to evaluate a person, both are constructed by the interaction between different subjects. On the one hand, as a main part, ＂China＂ itself is constantly changing, different countries＇ ruling systems and different exchange policies have very big influence on people＇ s evaluation. On the other hand, the people who evaluating the main part is also constantly changing. Their concern focus, interests, and standard of value will cause various experiences. No matter the Yellow Peril, the China threat theory, or the China＇ s upgrowth theory, are all expected response to the interaction between the subjects.
