Liu Xiaobo | Single-Edged Poison Sword – A Critique of Contemporary Chinese Nationalism

Currently, China’s nationalism has attracted worldwide attention, and combined with the autocratic system, it is becoming increasingly dangerously aggressive. This book compiles a series of articles by the author on nationalism, and uses vivid examples to discuss from various levels how China’s nationalism has evolved into autocratic patriotism under the rule of the CCP’s autocratic regime. The main contents include: Mainland nationalism from the 1980s to the new century; extreme anti-American nationalism; extreme anti-Japanese nationalism; anti-Taiwan independence nationalism; and Hong Kong patriotism under power and bribery.

The book points out that the combination of extreme nationalism and autocracy can allow ordinary people to become executioners without any scruples about the commandments of human civilization.
