Excited to share my latest publication on @austjia.bsky.social 🌏💥 This piece explores how deeply rooted cultural values shape political legitimacy and drive US-China competition. Understanding honour and face helps explain the tensions between these two powers. Would love to hear your thoughts!

🚨New online! @yexue001.bsky.social discusses "Honour versus face: a psycho-cultural approach to US-China great power politics". 🇨🇳-🇺🇸 #AcademicPublishing #InternationalRelations #US-China #AcademicSky ⬇️
www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
ABSTRACT "This article presents a psycho-cultural framework for analysing US-China relations in the context of the great power competition, explaining the escalation of their rivalry and the proliferation of conflict. It emphasises the critical role of self-esteem and culture in shaping domestic and international dynamics, focusing on the interplay between honour and face as distinct expressions of self-esteem in US and Chinese societies. The study illustrates how pursuing national self-esteem drives confrontational interactions between these two powers, with the 2018-2020 US-China trade war as a prime example. Here, nationalist narratives were crafted to evoke emotional resonance with domestic audiences, intensifying the conflict beyond mere economic competition into a struggle for national self-esteem. The rise of identity politics in both countries has further exacerbated tensions, as perceived disrespect has triggered coercive responses, worsening bilateral relations". Keywords: US-China relations; trade war; national identity; self-esteem.
