“[A] smart take on modern Chinese nationalism” (Foreign Policy), this provocative account shows that “China”–and its 5,000 years of unified history–is a national myth, created only a century ago with a political agenda that persists to this day China’s current leadership lays claim to a 5,000-year-old civilization, but “China” as a unified country and people, Bill Hayton a “[A] smart take on modern Chinese nationalism” (Foreign Policy), this provocative account shows that “China”–and its 5,000 years of unified history–is a national myth, created only a century ago with a political agenda that persists to this day China’s current leadership lays claim to a 5,000-year-old civilization, but “China” as a unified country and people, Bill Hayton argues, was created far more recently by a small group of intellectuals.
