This essay examines the way in which Habermas’s writings have generated discussions in Chinese critical inquiry and the uses that Chinese intellectuals have made of his work. It spans the Chinese reception of Habermas from the 1980s to the early 2000s, with a focus on key issues raised and the debate that ensued over Habermas’s position on the war in Kosovo and his visit to China in 2001. Throughout, I will note the ways in which Chinese intellectual sensibilities and local intellectual politics have complicated the reception of Habermas in mainland China. The discussion will show that Sinophone ways of sense-making inflect Habermasian propositions with a distinct emphasis on the Sino-centered question of what is beneficial for China. (China J/GIGA)
