As an emerging great/super power, what the world needs to know about the rise of China? Unfortunately, many efforts to develop a comprehensive and detailed perspective on the rise of China are clouded, and even distorted. That is why and where this dissertation comes in. In order to help readers understand how observers interpret the rise of China; furthermore, what should be prepared to deal with a China led by the Chinese Communist Party(CCP), this study mainly concentrates on discourses on the rise of China, especially reflecting on the CCP¡¦s leaders¡¦ discourses from the perspective of identity and action.
Based on the perspective of identity and action, this study reviewed the key concepts and logic as follows firstly: China, rise, identity, action, actor, rationality, imagine, and the logic of antithesis. Secondly, this study made a recombination of these concepts and the logic of antithesis to develop a theoretical framework, and named it ¡§the framework of identity-action positions.¡¨ Thirdly, in looking at the period from lat-Qing Dynasty to the present, this study applied the framework to analyze discourses on the rise of China, and particularly try to discover their common origin. Finally, this study argues that the origin of discourses on the rise of China is Chinese leaders¡¦ ambitions. However, there is a crucial difference between the CCP and other Chinese leaders. Continuous struggle, inevitably, is the essence of the CCP and its leaders¡¦ mindset. Thus, understanding the CCP and its leaders¡¦ continuous struggle for survival and development, in observing the rise of China, is what the world needs to know behind the scenes.
