13 Still, one may ask, what is the value of this historically and theoretically oriented work for someone interested only in contemporary policy? Anyone attempting to understand China’s new role in East Asia will, however, need an appreciation of its historical role in the region and some guidance of theory for interpreting its past and present roles. Anyone trying to identify the strategic possibilities of contemporary Chinese foreign policy may want to understand such possibilities in China’s long history.
54 Indeed, Ming China of the Yongle reign has been described as “the strongest, wealthiest, and most populous country on earth at that time,”55 with clear material primacy in the East Asian region. In fact, partly inheriting the legacy of Mongol hegemony for stimulating Eurasian commerce and travel,56 early Ming China created a vast international network beyond the geographical confines of East Asia. It encompassed the nomads of Mongolia and Manchuria in the north, the Japanese archipelago and the Ryukyu Islands in the east, Southeast Asian polities from Vietnam (Annam) to the Philippines (Luzon) in the southeast, various kingdoms on the coast of the Indian Ocean in the south, Central Asian polities from Hami to Samarkand in the west, and the east coast of Africa in the far west.
This chapter attempts to develop a relational structural theory of grand strategic interactions between China and its neighbors by synthesizing and applying the insights of both Chinese and Western relationalism. Sharing a relational ontology and methodology, both types of relationalism take patterns of relations as the primary feature of social structure. Both types also suggest three relational structural components of the historical East Asian system: the ordering principles of expressive and instrumental rationalities, the differentiation of roles in a sovereign-subordinate and father-son hierarchy, and the distribution of ties measured in terms of actor degree centrality.
