In this episode of 22 George Street, we explore the unique worldview that has shaped China’s perception of itself and its place in the world for centuries. Known as the “Middle Kingdom,” China historically saw itself as the cultural and political center of civilization, with a worldview similar to medieval Europe’s geocentrism, where all things revolved around a central point. This perspective, reinforced by concepts like the Hua-Yi Distinction—which classifies people as either “civilized” (within China) or “barbaric” (outside)—has profoundly influenced China’s approach to both domestic and international relations. We discusss how this "geocentric" mindset created a rigid cultural hierarchy, often leading to isolationism and resistance to external ideas, even in the face of global advancements. Join us as we examine how this perspective affects China’s interactions with the world today, shaping its policies, partnerships, and the collective psyche of its people.
