Extract

There is a growing recognition of the way in which the agenda of Western scholarship on China, particularly on 20th-century China, has been shaped or influenced by what we might identify as a Chinese agenda of political correctness. The neglect of the first 11 years of publication of the Short Story Magazine (Xiaoshuo yuebao) (1910–1921), and its dismissal as simply purveying superficial popular entertainment, is a case in point.
