 I NTRODUCTION :
I DENTIFYING C HINA IN
I NTERNATIONAL R ELATIONS

The most important thing in social life is how actors represent Self
and Other. … Society, in short, is “what people make of it.”1

Although China cannot be said to be fully cooperative in every issue

of international relations, it has pursued a more accommodative,
although occasionally erratic posture over the last 150 years.
Indeed the general pattern and direction of China’s international
behavior, albeit more in the global political economy than in global
high politics, has been a slow but steady movement from conflict to
cooperation. And China is more cooperative in high-profile multi-
lateral institutional or negotiating settings than in low profile bilat-
eral negotiations.2

THE PRICE OF RESTORED GREATNESS

In this book I address both “fit” and “fashion”—hence the title. I

focus on how China has had to restyle itself to gain recognition from
an external audience that was once peripheral but is now the arbiter of
fashion. A China used to turning heads before a select audience, largely
of its own choosing, now seeks to turn heads far and wide. It aspires
to be the fashion capital of the world and has successfully incorporated
its own traditions into its designs while producing the finest cutters,
seamstresses, and materials in the world. But it alone cannot decide
what the “Spring Look” should be. To ensure the return of buyers, it
2 The Empire’s New Clothes / Jeremy T. Paltiel
has to keep its styles familiar. And even though the buyers are
intrigued, they still flock to the runways of Paris and New York.
I address this book to multiple audiences. I direct it first toward
those who want to know more about China’s relationship with the
world and who are concerned about the impact China will have on
international society. I also write for scholars of international relations
who are engaged in the debate concerning the “social construction”
of the international system. Finally, I offer a case study of the politics
of socialization. China has entered the world system both objectively
and subjectively from the outside. Prior to the Opium Wars of the nine-
teenth century, China did not engage in regular international rela-
tions with the states of Europe, nor did it perceive itself to be
embedded in a system of like political units. How China was forcibly
brought into this system is relatively well known. How the manner of
China’s entry into the world system continues to color its foreign pol-
icy is less well studied.
The outcome of this process, the effect of Chinese perceptions on
the evolution of the international system, is an emergent subject. Stu-
dents of Chinese politics in particular, and of comparative politics in
general, are interested in how China’s interaction with international
society affects the evolution of its domestic institutions, norms, and
values. The cultural confrontation between China and the West precip-
itated a succession of new institutions and values that centered on sov-
ereignty and focused on bringing China back into the mainstream of
world history. Participation in a new global narrative entailed the inte-
gration of sovereignty into the identity of China. Sovereignty crystal-
lizes a lens through which a narrative reconstruction of the Chinese
“self” is projected on an international “other.”

SOVEREIGNTY: THE RELATIONAL NEXUS OF

IDENTITY AND THE CHINESE CULTURE

This book is about the relationship of sovereignty to identity and how

identity informs the reception of external norms. Scholars and practi-
tioners agree that sovereignty forms one of the basic qualities of mod-
ern statehood. Modern international relations theory and the entire
corpus of international law, especially public international law, are built
around the collectivity of sovereign states that is organized as a sort of
“international society.” Controversy arises over the quality of the rela-
tionship between individual states and the structure of “international
 Introduction: Identifying China in International Relations 3
society,” and the degree to which the qualities of sovereign statehood
structure international society, and vice versa. In other words, how
does international society structure the qualities of individual states? A
century and a half ago, the Chinese state was dragged into interna-
tional relations with states whose fundamental attitude was that China
operated outside the norms and had to be forcibly constrained within
them. The ensuing study identifies with some historical precision
exactly what those constraints are and how they have changed since
China was forcibly brought into a Western-dominated system of inter-
national law.
International lawyers concur that sovereignty is not one single ele-
ment; rather, it “is like a bundle of separable rights.”3 The first point,
therefore, is that in important respects sovereignty belongs to a cul-
ture of rights that is itself a type of legal rule. Despite attempts to treat
sovereignty as a “fact” of statehood, it is ineluctably bound to a legal
culture, and as with all cultures, sovereignty distinguishes between
those on the inside and those on the outside.4 Any system of (human)
relations can be said to form a “society,” but not all societies view rela-
tions in the same way. Western cultures are particularly oriented toward
the legal dimensions of relationships: Ubi societas ibi lege (Where there
is society there is law). By contrast, Confucianism, which served as
China’s official ideology for more than two thousand years and under-
pins its current political philosophy, views relationships as fundamen-
tal, and essentially pre-legal.
World politics is a relational system formed through the interactions
of key global players. Another central tenet of China’s Confucian legacy
holds that relationships are morally transforming. Self-consciously
attending to our relationships with other human beings teaches us to
become truly human, or zuoren. This implies a predisposition to social
engagement rather than withdrawal from it. Daoism, the great coun-
terpart of Confucianism in the Chinese philosophical tradition,
instructs that all relationships are impermanent and changing. Both of
these philosophical tendencies, however, view the relationship, not the
individual, as the fundamental unit of analysis.
The Western study of international relations betrays its name: its unit
of analysis, the state, consistent with the philosophical tradition in which
it is rooted, is individual—the individual state. In the Realist tradition,
which has dominated international relations theory for at least half a
century, relationships among states are relations among atomistic indi-
vidual states that pursue incommensurable interests in an international
system characterized by anarchy and structured by power.
4 The Empire’s New Clothes / Jeremy T. Paltiel
In his important work on the strategic culture of China, Alastair
Iain Johnston has termed China’s approach to international relations
“cultural realism.”5 How can we reconcile this with the Chinese
philosophical tradition mentioned earlier? Confucianism is a norma-
tive theory that concerns the organization of society and the pursuit
of a moral life. Its basic outlines, found in the Analects of Confucius,
lack a systematic metaphysics, epistemology, or ontology. Confucian-
ism is concerned with what is moral for humans, not what is. Moral
life does not guarantee the basic necessities for survival but instead
enables humanity to live up to its aspirations.
In anarchy, where human beings are strangers to one another,
instrumental relationships may prevail. Only when human beings live
under the civilizing force of good government can the potential inher-
ent in punctilious attention to proper relations be realized. Confucius
recognizes that force is an indispensable tool of governance. He argues
that good governance looks beyond force and aspires to release the
self-civilizing potential of mannered relationships found in rituals.
True to its prescription of proper behavior in particular circumstances,
Confucianism prizes rites over rights. A moral life, for Confucius, is
therefore culturally relative. It emerges out of a single civilization
within recognized cultural norms. Culture aims to tame egotism and
to domesticate power.
By contrast, self-interest and power are the bedrock concepts of
“realism” in international relations. The school of Confucianism prop-
agated by Mencius during the Warring States period preached a nor-
mative theory of politics that dichotomized and contrasted
realpolitik—badao, the way of the hegemon—from wangdao, the civ-
ilized or “kingly” way.
Anarchy renders moral life impossible because moral action requires
a social context within which proper ritual relations instantiate moral
relationships. The protection of good government and the maintenance
of a civilization, where manners are respected, make a state worth
defending, even to the death. Self-conscious moral individuals, like
Confucius and Mencius, refuse to participate in bad government, where
power and selfish interest are the norms. Good government is a moral
imperative, but relationships are contextual. Hence, proper behavior in
a relationship is culturally determined. In anarchy, a relationship lacks
normative content and becomes practically indistinguishable from the
amoral calculus of power and interest embedded in political realism. In
the Chinese context, moral language is routinely employed to approach
all relationships, including the discourse of foreign policy. To the extent
that China’s counterparts respond to normative appeals, China may
 Introduction: Identifying China in International Relations 5

reciprocate in kind. To the extent that China’s counterparts reject the

normative system proffered, China will react in the language of force
and interest. Implicit in this calculus is the idea that realpolitik is the
only practical way to treat strangers. The civilizing effect of culture is
predicated on sharing a common understanding of relationships, and on
both sides to a moral relationship remaining open to mutual moral
transformation.
As a matter of historical fact, China is a stranger to Western civiliza-
tion.6 Western norms of international relations—sovereignty, sovereign
equality, international law, and even the nation-state itself—were
imposed on China after its defeat in the Opium Wars in the first half
of the nineteenth century.7 This experience socialized China to look at
the world through the lens of power, interest, and force. China’s efforts
to reorganize its state along Western normative lines and to achieve
recognition as a sovereign entity were largely ignored until China
acquired the capacity to repel foreign interventions from its soil. The
experience of foreign intervention, weakness, and supine submission
forms the underlying basis of what Michael Swaine and Ashley Tellis
term China’s “calculative” grand strategy—to regain the economic,
technological, and strategic power to compel the recognition of
China’s status in the world.8 The strategy is to maximize “comprehen-
sive national strength”—a complex of technological, economic, polit-
ical, and military power. It is a strategy formulated to deal with an alien
system of norms, where power is the sole ticket to a seat at the table.
From this perspective, China looks set to “challenge” the global order
because only by mounting such a “challenge” will China and Chinese
concerns be taken seriously in a global system organized around the
concepts of power and interest alone.
Yet the instrumental pursuit of power entails compromises over
means. Through the Chinese revolution, a new Chinese state emerged
that could coordinate all aspects of social interaction, assert its power
over the periphery, and defend the national frontier. The Korean War,
the border war with India, and the skirmishes with the Soviet Union
forcefully demonstrated the will and capabilities of the state along its
frontier. It took the paroxysm of the “Cultural Revolution” to bring
stability to the exercise of sovereign authority in domestic society. Only
after drawing a line under revolutionary transformation could the Chi-
nese state turn its attention to international comparison. “Moderniza-
tion” was first and foremost about the reversal of China’s invidious
status in the world. To gain access to vitally necessary capital and tech-
nology, China has since the end of the 1970s adopted an “open policy.”
This open policy has involved the wholesale restructuring of China’s
6 The Empire’s New Clothes / Jeremy T. Paltiel
economy and key characteristics of the Chinese state that include its
legal system and system of property relations as well as participation—
ranging from grudging to enthusiastic—in global institutions, regimes,
and treaties. It is worth asking at what point the means begin to mod-
ify the ends. In a recent book, Stephen Krasner coined the phrase
“organized hypocrisy” to describe the normative aspects of the con-
cept of sovereignty. From a Chinese perspective, all the normative pre-
tensions of the West are hypocritical because the means by which these
were imposed on China were the “hegemon’s way”—by force.
Let me return for a moment to my initial premise: relationships are
transformative. Frederik Barth makes the following point about ethnic
identity and cultural contact: “Where persons of different culture inter-
act, one would expect these differences to be reduced, since interaction
both requires and generates a congruence of codes and values—in
other words, a similarity or community of culture. Thus the persist-
ence of ethnic groups in contact implies not only criteria and signals for
identification, but also a structuring of interaction that allows for the
persistence of cultural differences.”9 As much as China aspires to trans-
form the “balance of power,” the effort to transform that balance also
leads to the transformation of China itself.
To visualize this concept, imagine two curves, arrayed along two
axes (Figure 1). Along the vertical, or Y, axis the change in “compre-
hensive national strength,” that is, the economic, technological, and
military capacity of the (Chinese) state, is tracked. Along the horizon-
tal, or X, axis is time. Imagine another vertical axis superimposed on
the first. This axis is labeled “adaptive conformity to international
norms, institutions, and regimes.” The origin of the X axis is labeled
as the beginning of Deng Xiaoping’s “open” strategy, December
1979.This, not coincidentally, was also the point at which diplomatic
relations between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the
United States were formally normalized. So, at what point do the two
curves intersect? In other words, at what point does China’s “com-
prehensive national strength” begin to align with its participation in
global norms, institutions, and regimes? At that point does China’s
seat at the table become indistinguishable from other seats arrayed
alongside, thereby making China no more and no less a challenger
than any other state?
True to the logic of Confucianism outlined previously, the point
where the two lines intersect marks a subtle boundary where the “table”
of international relations ceases to be strictly “Western” in its civiliza-
tional form and begins to adapt to cultural influences mediated by
China.10 I leave it to the reader to determine whether this adaptation
 Introduction: Identifying China in International Relations 7

Figure 1 National Strength Arrayed against International Compliance

constitutes a “threat” or a positive development. I suggest that the

adaptation will be so subtle that Western states will scarcely be aware
of it. Over time, China will come to be regularly included in calcula-
tions that concern the character and form of international society. Only
in retrospect will Western states recall the moment when they stopped
referring to “China” and “the West” in dichotomous and mutually
exclusive terms. In this book, my objective is to quantify and analyze
the transformation just outlined. To make the task more manageable,
I have formulated the problem in terms of the Chinese reception of a
single concept—“sovereignty.”
My approach in this book is in broad form consistent with the per-
spective of social constructivism, in particular the constructivist
approach that Alexander Wendt adopted and has its root in epistemo-
logical realism.11 In deeper terms, I am convinced by the sociological
approach of Max Weber. Ideas matter, but their power is not arbitrar-
ily constructed. Ideas acquire their power when they become embed-
ded in social structure, and these social structures in turn must have a
stable relationship to the natural environment to allow them to sus-
tain human life. This is what Wendt calls “ideas but not ideas all the
way down.” In this study, what matters in particular is that identities
(in this instance the Chinese identity) are constructed through inter-
action with others.12 Identity itself is a social construction that cannot
be essentialized.
8 The Empire’s New Clothes / Jeremy T. Paltiel
Sovereignty is the idea that states have an “inside” and an “outside”
defined by boundaries. It is, as I will show, an idea with a very specific
Western pedigree. It is, as Terry Nardin so aptly explains, a “status.”13
A status is a dichotomous variable: possessing it creates entitlements
and rights, and not having it denies access to those entitlements and
rights. Among the Chinese there is an acute sense of deprivation of the
entitlements of sovereignty, and in many respects Chinese foreign pol-
icy is a quest for the return of these lost “rights.”
Chinese foreign policy and Chinese leaders have addressed the
international system from the perspective of outsiders to a European-
constructed international society led by great powers. Therefore, it is
less a personal affinity toward theories of social construction and the
“English School” that drives this analysis than a recognition that these
schools address the contours of the behavior that I recognize in the
Chinese state. This does not deny something that has been called
“Chinese realism”; instead, it gives it a context in the relationship of
a power facing society from the outside. Moreover, I wrote this book
to redress a lacuna that I have noted in both the literature of the Eng-
lish School and the Social Constructivists—the failure to address sys-
tematically the impact of international society on significant and
potentially powerful outsiders. Many works have pointed at the role of
social construction in marginalizing Third World actors. Others look
at the role of international society in “socializing” new members, but
none have looked at the pattern of antagonistic interaction that marks
a would-be participant. To the extent that such a “society” constructs
norms of state identity and state behavior, these cannot be limited to
the sphere of “international relations.” Although I reject the termi-
nology of the “standard of civilization” as a legacy of racist and impe-
rialist paternalism, I recognize that international “societal norms”
work to construct state identities along with the participation of states
in “international society.” Thus the political process of “socialization”
involves patterns of conscious resistance to preserve distinctive iden-
tities and patterns of normative convergence to seek access to the “sta-
tus” of a sovereign power.
In some ways the language of “socialization” mistakes a fundamen-
tal reality about the interaction of China with Western powers. China
was not born as a state with a hard shell and then became socialized as
a “chick” in the international system. It was exposed without a shell
and had to acquire that shell with materials available only through the
international system. China is not divesting itself of its hard shell; in
many ways, it is still acquiring it.
 Introduction: Identifying China in International Relations 9
The “Chinese” identity requires the affirmation of something that
is specifically Chinese and the widespread recognition of a Chinese
“difference.” Defining what is distinctively Chinese is simply a prob-
lem. The transformative power of relationships corresponds, after some
fashion, to the volume and frequency, or density, of interactions. These
can be quantified, approximately, by looking at the statistics of trade,
investment, travel, international study, and international communica-
tions. Since trade involves bargaining and deal making, it is a fair proxy
for cross-cultural negotiation and intercultural exposure. Moreover,
trade indicates successful negotiation of value differences.14 On this basis
one has to assume that the Chinese are more than capable of negoti-
ating values across cultures and, indeed, that Chinese are no less skilled
that Westerners as managers of cultural brokerage. Of course, national
statistics underestimate regional variation within China in terms of
exposure to the West. Yet even if the gradient of the volume of transna-
tional transactions drops steeply when moving westward from the
coast, absolute gains in interior provinces are just as impressive. Putting
statistics in this form actually understates indirect Western impact
through interactions with more open parts of China.
Statistical inference shows that viewing “China” and “the West” in
strictly dichotomous term is a linguistic or an ideological construct, a
form either of “Orientalism” or its reflexive counterpart, “Occidental-
ism.” Although Edward Said’s contribution to the debate on cross-
cultural communication has been to emphasize the distorting impact
of power on cross-cultural interactions, he incidentally emphasizes the
ways in which interaction constructs difference. Both interaction and
power construct difference. “Chinese culture” is contested and polit-
ical rather than static or immutable. As Barrett McCormick and David
Kelly argue, culture is “an open-ended repertoire of symbolic forms
and practices.”15 Discussion of “Chinese culture” today cannot ignore
the fact that some notion of “western culture” is never outside the
frame of reference. Today, there is no, nor can there be, pristine Chi-
nese culture that remains “uncontaminated” by Western values, con-
cepts, and theories.16
The profound impact of Marxism-Leninism, whatever its ultimate
influence on the long sweep of Chinese history, conclusively proves that
Western ideas can find hospitable soil on the banks of the Yellow River.
There was some undoubted resonance or affinity between the revolu-
tionary ideology of Marxism-Leninism and some aspects of indigenous
Chinese thought,17 but the revolution created a genuine hiatus in the
official ideology and major social institutions. Mao Zedong himself
claimed to “sinify” Marxism—“integrating” its theory with “Chinese
