- Abstract
An essay is presented that discusses the influence of international law on the transformation of China's global outlook. The Chinese attitude toward international law is said to reflect the historical transformation of its outlook from a Sino-centric one based on Confucianism to modern Chinese nationalism, which embraces the concept of sovereign equality and independence. Factors behind China's failure to use international law to recover its lost rights and assert its sovereignty are explained.
