The aim of this thesis is to explore the concept of the 'National Interest' as seen through the writings and speeches of China’s leaders, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Tse-tung. The definition of the 'National Interest varies among Western theorists. Generally speaking, the 'National Interest’ may be termed the driving force of international politics, the essential framework for the definition of state objectives and the conduct of policy. A leading theorist, Hans J. Morgenthau, explains that the controversy which surrounds the concept of the 'National Interest' has its; roots in the two different schools of thought, “utopianism” and "realism”.
