Kim Cheol-un: Chinese Hegemonism and Its Roots

The author of *Chinese Hegemonism and Its Roots* argues that China's recent actions do not deviate significantly from the category of "Sinocentrism," which in the past justified China's superior status and hegemonic domination over the "Four Barbarians" (Southern Barbarians, Eastern Barbarians, Western Barbarians, and Northern Barbarians). Through this book, the author uncovers the true nature of "Neo-Sinocentrism" by conducting a comprehensive and multi-dimensional critical examination of "Sinocentrism"—specifically, the "Theory of Distinction between Hua and Yi"—which historically justified China's superior status and hegemonic rule over the "Four Barbarians."
