   Title = {The new “Great Game”? Decolonizing wargames in the era
             of China’s rise},
   Journal = {Inter-Asia Cultural Studies},
   Volume = {24},
   Number = {5},
   Pages = {824-835},
   Year = {2023},
   Month = {January},
   url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14649373.2023.2242147},
   Abstract = {The “new” Great Game suggests that, like the imperial
             competition of the past, we are witnessing a trans-imperial
             moment whereby Japan and China are vying for hegemony in
             East Asia. This is a new moment because East Asia, unlike
             Europe, has never had two co-existing superpowers. The
             prospect of a new imperial competition is complicated by the
             still-present American military power and the non-statist
             arena, especially in popular culture, where the imperial
             games are played out. Using two popular anti-Japan
             videogames, Glorious Mission Online (2013) and The Invisible
             Guardian (2019) as case studies, I argue these games are
             symptomatic of the relations between warfare and game in
             general. I then outline the trend in game development that
             subverts conventional wargames. Finally, I speculate on
             alternative game design over the disputed territories in the
             Southern China Sea that prioritizes ecology over human
             conflict and development.},

   Title = {An interview with Leo T. S. Ching: on the politics of
             sentiment, anti- and pro-Japanism, and the coalitional
             outlook},

   Abstract = {Inspired by his Anti-Japan: The Politics of Sentiment in
             Postcolonial East Asia (2019), this interview with Dr. Leo
             Ching invites the readers’ critical attention and
             examination on the temporally and spatially complicated
             coloniality and decolonial outlook in the Asia-Pacific. The
             postcolonial and post-Pacific-War sentiments encapsulated by
             the terms “anti-Japanism” and “pro-Japanism” are the
             anchor points for the inquiries about each of the East Asian
             subjects’ geo-historically specific psychological
             struggles. The interview covers the following aspects: (1)
             Dr. Ching’s familial experience and social observations
             that drove his book project; (2) The clarification of
             “sentiment” as a politically chosen concept that is
             differentiated from the psychoanalytical “affect” and
             logically connects with “feeling” and “emotion”; (3)
             the “trans-imperial” complicity between the imperial
             superpowers; (4) the search of alternative narratives that
             challenge the normative, linear, and masculinist narrative
             on the Japanese colonization in Taiwan; (5) the search of
             the sentiments that are not (fully) co-opted or regulated by
             nation-states; (6) Dr. Ching’s reflection on his gendered
             positionality and how that positionality takes part in his
             interpretation of the intersectionally oppressed female
             bodies. The interview concludes with the appeal for the
             coalitional politics that responds to contemporary racism
             and colonial residues.},

   Abstract = {Asian regionalism has been predominantly a Japanese-led
             discourse, strategy, and ideology throughout the region’s
             modern/colonial history. Asianism’s condition of
             possibility is inseparable from the history of Western and
             Japanese imperialism and colonialism. To be more precise,
             Japan’s evocation of regional solidarity is a response to
             the real and perceived threat of Western aggression and the
             justification of its own empire-building in Asia. Any
             discussion of regionalism cannot escape the West-Japan-Asia
             triad (Ching 2009). The relative lack of Japanese discourse
             on Asian regionalism today suggests two possible
             interpretations: that the West is no longer a threat and
             that the balance of power has shifted in the
             region.1.},

   Abstract = {The 2005 anti-Japan protests in China inaugurated a new era
             of Chinese popular nationalism with their pervasive
             visuality and virtuality. The outpouring of emotions in
             cityscapes and cyberspaces - anger, outrage, zealousness and
             even pleasure - requires us to take emotion, passion, hope
             or sheer delight seriously and to recognize the power of
             some of the more alarming forms of popular nationalist
             sentimentality. This chapter analyses one instance of
             Sino-Japanese relations: the epithet of 'riben guizi' or
             Japanese devils in Chinese popular culture in four
             historical moments: late-Sinocentric imperium, high
             imperialism, socialist nationalism and post-socialist
             globalization. I want to suggest that while this 'hate word'
             performs an affective politics of recognition stemming from
             an ineluctable trauma of imperialist violence, it ultimately
             fails in establishing a politics of reconciliation. I argue
             that anti-Japanism in China is less about Japan than China's
             own self-image mediated through its asymmetrical power
             relations with Japan throughout its modern history. © 2012
