Description
Summary:Watching China's growing power and international prominence today, many have invoked China's imperial past to project Asia's future dominated by China. China's Hegemony shows that the Chinese-centered international order in Asia's past was not as Sinocentric as conventional wisdom suggests.

This book demonstrates that Chinese hegemony and hierarchy were not an outcome.
