   Abstract:
   In his article, “The China Question of Western Theory,” Kang Liu formulates the China Question of western theory as both western critical frameworks to understand the rise of China, and how these critical frameworks present China not only as an object of study but also as a question intrinsic to contemporary cultural and social theories. The essays in this special issue address the China Question of western theory in multilinear, multivalent ways: first, the Chinese reception and appropriation of western theory; second, the western reception and appropriation of Chinese theory, namely Maoism, and third, the Chinese reception and re-appropriation of those western theories that reinvented and appropriated Chinese theory.
