Talked about language, nationality and confucianism. Many of the words for western ideas were imported after japan translated from the west like “society”, “citizenship” and others. Confucianism always has been a contentious issue whether to promote or suppress as a pillar of chineseness. Im looking forward towards the next chapter about overseas chinese :)

A lot of imagined communities, how chineseness developed through shared rituals and imperial bureaucracy. Nationalism as an imported idea from the west and japan.
