This book provides a comprehensive history of the emergence and the formation of the concept of sovereignty in China from the year 1840 to the present. It contributes to broadening the history of modern China by looking at the way the notion of sovereignty was gradually articulated by key Chinese intellectuals, diplomats and political figures in the unfolding of the history of international law in China, rehabilitates Chinese agency, and shows how China challenged Western Eurocentric assumptions about the progress of international law. It puts the history of international law in a global perspective, interrogating the widely-held belief of international law as universal order and exploring the ways in which its history is closely anchored to a European experience that fails to take into account how the encounter with other non-European realities has influenced its formation.

Excerpt from Revision of Unequal Treaties: China Appeals to the League of Nations; Official Text of the Speeches of Mr. Chao-Hsin Chu and Press Comments Thereon Mr. Chao-hsin chu (china): First of all, in the name of the Chinese delegation and on behalf of the Chinese Government, I wish to express our appreciation and admiration of the work accomplished by the Council and the Secretariat during the past year. The League deserves to be congratulated upon its progress and success. Owing to the non-observance of the geographical principle in the election of non-permanent Members to the Council, China has not yet been able to' reobtain her seat on the Council since 1923, and the Chinese people have not known whether the League still has its eye on the continent of Asia. But I can assure you that the attitude of the Chinese Government as a supporter of the League remains unchanged. Moreover, there are in China many warm well-wishers of the League. Chinese public opinion on matters of international interest runs very high to -d.ay What China most expects from the League is that her international position and the privileges to which she is entitled shall be fully recognised.

As China reclaims its position as a world power, Imperial Twilight looks back to tell the story of the country’s last age of ascendance and how it came to an end in the nineteenth-century Opium War. As one of the most potent turning points in the country’s modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to “open” China even as China’s imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country’s decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China’s advantage. The book paints an enduring portrait of an immensely profitable—and mostly peaceful—meeting of civilizations that was destined to be shattered by one of the most shockingly unjust wars in the annals of imperial history. Brimming with a fascinating cast of British, Chinese, and American characters, this riveting narrative of relations between China and the West has important implications for today’s uncertain and ever-changing political climate.
