Tianxia under Xi Jinping: Is China a revisionist or reformist power of the Liberal International Order?

Cheung, Olivia

Abstract

Is China a revisionist or reformist power in relation to the liberal international order? Is this a matter with which equally valid conclusions can be reached depending on what evidence is used? To shed light on this debate, it is useful to take Xi Jinping’s overt fondness of the ancient Sino-centric order, tianxia (literally ‘all under heaven’), as the starting point for analysis.
