Features: Whether you like it or not, Chinese theory—philosophical, historical, literary, geological, sociological, and of course, translation studies—will inevitably accompany the rumbling roar of the Earth spinning in space, the pulsation of the East as it is awakened by the morning star, and the steam rising from the heart of Asia under the rising sun. It will dominate the world. Chinese theory has awakened from its slumber since 1500 AD. I dare to assert that no force in the world can stop the development of Chinese theory. Even if all the "dragon-slaying guardians" in the United States, Japan, and other corners of the West are combined, they are merely a swarm of overconfident ants, deluded in their attempt to shake the towering trees that have grown from the ground.
