One could almost say that the twentieth century was summed up a bit early, in 1989, even as history since thenhas proceeded apace. In that year the events inBeijing became a spark for the breakup of the SovietUnion and ofEastern Europe, which in turn marked the beginning of the global domination of neoliberalism in economic and political structures. China did not undergo the sameprocess of breakupasdid theSovietUnion andEasternEurope, and as a result, transformations in its social structure appear rather as a continuation of the events of 1989. If we characterized this process simply (bearing in mind that it is not yet complete), wemight say that, upon the premise of a continuity of its political system, China has promoted radicalmarketization; in addition, under the guidance of state policy, China has become one of the most enthusiastic participants in the global economy. This continuity and discontinuity has lent a special character to Chinese neoliberalism. Indeed, Chinese neoliberalismhas at times expressed its contradictionswith the state

Part of manga, or comic, artist Kobayashi Yoshinori’s “New Arrogant-ist Manifesto,” serialized in the magazine SAPIO beginning in summer 2000, was published as a paperback in November 2001 under the title “On Taiwan”: New Arrogant-ist Manifesto SPECIAL (hereafter On Taiwan). More than 250,000 copies of this book were sold in Japan. In February 2001 a Chinese translation of the book was published in Taiwan, provoking an immense reaction in Taiwanese society. To summarize briefly, On Taiwan is a manga text in which Kobayashi selectively uses so-called pro-Japanese opinion in Taiwan to legitimize past Japanese colonial rule.Manga artist Kobayashi is also a foundingmember of the Japanese Society for Historical Textbook Reform, a group whose members exhibit varying degrees of conservativeness. He is a figure positioned as

In 1911 Japanese colonial officials led forty-three selected aboriginal leaders from Taiwan on one of the seven “tours to Japan proper” (naichi kankō). The tours were organized in conjunction with the initial stage of military subjugation of the natives after the pacification of the Taiwanese-Chinese islanders. Four such tours took place between 1911 and 1912 at the height of the military campaign under the directives of the fifth governor-general, Sakuma Samata. Previously, the colonial government had only sponsored one tour in 1897 and, since 1912, only two tours, in 1918 and 1925, respectively. These tours presented a calculated structure of visibility. The visuality of Japanese metropolitan grandeur was to complement the brutality of Japanese colonial force in the larger colonial “enterprise of governing the savages” (rihan jigyō).1 The visiting savages (banjin) were directed to and shown various industrial and military facilities, the imperial palace, and Shinto shrines. These carefully orchestrated itineraries were intended to

On a frigid winter night in St. Louis in 1903, a man named Blackmer sat in a deep, brocade-covered chair sipping brandy and puffing on a thick cigar in front of a crackling fire. He was an experienced exposition planner who had gained his reputation at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and his hosts were entrepreneurs interested in the operation of lucrative concessions at the upcoming St. Louis World’s Fair. A “Chinese Concession [would be] a failure,” Blackmer asserted. “People won’t go. [It would be] the most uninteresting thing I’ve ever seen.” A Japanese concession, he explained, “would be a winner . . . because the interest of the world is centered on Japan.”1 Blackmer was right. The Japanese had the attention of the world and earned bemused respect both on and off the St. Louis fairgrounds. They transformed their country into a military industrial power complete with an expansionist agenda and mastered the Western mode of exhibitionary
