China’s hegemonic intent increasingly hard to deny
A January 3 essay in Asia Times disputes the notion that China seeks to be a “hegemon,” or dominant country. The author was Asia Times columnist David P Goldman, who also copiously quotes Fudan University Professor Wen Yang.
Goldman not only asserts that China has no hegemonic intent, he goes so far as to allege that, for “many” Americans, “it doesn’t matter whether China is [in fact] hegemonic; its offense is being China.”
This is an important topic, and Goldman and Wen make several specious arguments that demand refutation.
