"With Xi Jinping's project to revive the ancient Silk Road for the contemporary era,
new analyses of pan-Asianism have proliferated. Most of these narratives focus especially
on the "rise of China" as the natural leader of new capitalist bloc, foretelling a
shift of power from the West to the East. What these approaches lack, however, is
any historical grounding in the thought of influential twentieth-century pan-Asianists.
Viren Murthy explores the writings and specific historical contexts of key pan-Asianist
intellectuals in Japan, China, and India from the early 1900s to the present to clarify
how current discourses distort the very foundations of pan-Asianism. At the heart
of this thinking was the notion of a unity of Asian nations, of weak nations becoming
powerful, and of the Third World confronting the "advanced world" on equal terms.
But there was more: pan-Asianists envisioned a future beyond both imperialism and
capitalism. That the resurgence of pan-Asianist discourse has emerged alongside the
dominance of capitalism, Murthy argues, signals a profound misunderstanding"
