Functioning of the socio-cultural myth “Greater China and globalization” at the present stage

Abstract

The sociocultural myth “Greater China and Global Culture” successfully functions in both parts of the Chinese national community and is adapted to the peculiarities of their own sociocultural systems of the PRC and the ROC (Taiwan). The binary opposition of the studied socio-cultural myth is based on the opposition of two positions: “interaction with global culture — belonging to a global culture” and is represented in the official discourses of mainland China and Taiwan, respectively. The novelty of the study lies in determining the most effective mechanisms of the sociocultural myth “Greater China and Global Culture” in the context of the military-political crisis between the PRC and the ROC (Taiwan) that arose in August 2022.
