Topic: To Rethink Chinese Nationalism: China Must Have It

Intro:

When people talk about nationalism right now, it always comes with a negative impression because of the memory of Fascism and Nazi…etc. But in fact, the broad sense of nationalism is about an idea or movement based on the interests of one's nation. In modern times, nationalism has promoted the liberation and equality of all ethnic groups（The liberation movement of France and the independence movement of countries in the Middle East are inseparable from nationalism), is the source of modern international society, and has considerable significance for progress. Furthermore, nationalism can promote a sense of identity. Nationalism can promote national spirit—ethos—national pride.Moreover, nationalism units people. These positive impacts of nationalism are the reason that why China needs today. To analyze why China needs its nationalism, I will look at three aspects: history and culture and current cultural invasion.

1. Historical Impact (This is why Chinese nationalism exists or how modern Chinese nationalism came from, and what is Chinese nationalism today?) I will talk about this part by comparing Qing Dynasty and the Anti-Japanese War period

1a.Qing Dynasty

a.1 Explain how government, people, and national strength interact each other and how the circulation work in order to

a.2 In order to tell: in the late Qing dynasty, government corruption lost the heart of the people. No energy from people means no energy for government to maintain the national strength, especially national security power. So, China, during that age, became half colonial country by Western powers. And therefore, this undermined the sovereignty of China.

（Explain the connection between national strength and government and people clearly, and describe the Qing history of this period clearly, then discuss how the national strength without unity of people and the less national pride which caused by corruption of government can make the whole country dangerous by other countries' invasion)

1b.The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression(The Second Sino-Japanese War)

b.1As we talked about above, a national strength can provide security of the nation. So, during 1937, the national strength of China was still pretty weak(Find the example to address how weak China was during this period), and we got another invasion by Japan. However, eventually, we won this war.（The Qing dynasty's wars with western powers were rarely won）So, why did China win? (Find an example to prove the Japanese invasion was powerful to lead the question—why would China under weak strength still win?)

Except, the U.S. joined WWIII by bombing Hiroshima, which affected Japan. As a weak country that was also having a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, China stood firm against Japan's decisive invasion for eight years. That was not easy—one-step wrong, or once we give up, we won't see China now.

b.2 The reason why China won eventually is because of the great determination or belief and persistence of Chinese people. To be more specific, we won the war by1. Having patriotism-centered national spirit(We found our National Sprit again); 2. Making the war become full-scale or nationwide war(We got the sense of identity of our nation again and our people united again)

b.3.1 Explain what is a patriotism-centered national spirit or we can say national spirit with the core of patriotism in China?

b.3.2 After defining the patriotism-centered national spirit, we need to prove this "spirit" is the ideology aspect of Chinese nationalism.

b.4 What is nationwide war

b.4.1. How was the extent of Chinese people joining the war?(Find resources or examples can describe: during that time, no matter what different people from age, gender, social class, region, and especially ethnic groups all joined the war)

b.4.1.1 The example of the minorities ethnic group is most important, check this:https:// www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=73161 ; It is essential because some minorities ethnic groups were not even under Qing government or Republic of China's government control during the Qing dynasty, but they also joined the war, this fact leads to another "why."

b.4.2 Why the whole people in China's land all have unity and against Japan?reason:1. We all have one sense of identity, which is "Hua Xia" Nation—China Nation. 2. Nationalism is not always bad when especially, a country or a nation is facing imminent extinction, people's behavior must be aggressive to gain the chance of survival for the national by most substantial cohesion and dischargee of external force.

1c.Conclusion of first historical aspect

c.1 Summary the comparison(different) of these two eras：清朝抵抗西方列强与抗日抵抗日本军时期

c.2 Then conclude 1.National Strength is related with people’s will, people’s will is relates with a nation identity and national pride. 2. Nationalism is not always bad…首先因为它带给了一个国家里的人民identity, 由于有了这个identity 所以我们知道自己是一个nation，我们就有了民族精神national spirit or pride, 这也让人民团结；这三个原因互相联系互相影响

c.3 The main idea of Chinese nationalism is patriotism-centered national spirit—national pride of Hua Xia Nation, and cohesion—Unity; Those also increase national strength, which makes a country unity stronger and avoids invasion

2.Cultural Aspect

2a.Chinese culture also is always called Hua Xia culture. so let’s talk about what is Hua Xia first: Discuss what is Hua Xia, what is Hua Xia Nation, and what is Hua Xia culture?

a. 1How it relate with morden Chinese people’s life?

a.2 How this Hua Xia culture connect with Chinese Nationalism?

a.3 as I mentioned Nationalism can give a nation “Identity”, so we have to discuss how the Huaxia nation identity connect with Nationalism.

2b. 大一统历史文化 “Great Unity”

b.1 what is “Great Unity”

b.2 How this connect with morden Chinese people’s life

b.3As nationalism can bring people unity, how it interact with “Great Unity”

2c. Why China needs Chinese nationalism today?——Against the invasion of external forces—the external cultural invasion

c.1What is Cultural invasion? what’s the cultural invasion’s impact?

c.2 Why does China need to protect own traditional culture?( from sovereignty, nation unity, history aspect to explain)（中国的文化即是民族之根，民族之根即带给我们Unity, Identity, and National Security)

c.3证明 Cultural invasion 是另一种国家主权”精神“上的侵略与武力侵略即和清朝八国联军侵略一样。给出例子：中东国家独立如何被西方文化霸权影响

c.4What Chinese Nationalism will do for protecting culture.
