HEGEMON: AN ANALYSIS

GOVT 490
Liberty University


Steven Mosher’s “Hegemon: China’s Plan to Dominate Asia and the World,” comes

to many conclusions in regard to politico-military dominance, thus leading him to also create

his theses and secondary theses. Additionally, the book studies the concept of China

transitioning into that of a hegemon officially rooted, China is currently utilizing their path

to hegemony in Asia, and with success, would pan out to in the future. Marxist-Leninists,

historically, and eventually Maoists use tailored tactics centering around international

relations, thus getting an edge on Presidents Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt and

other Western thinkers. Neville Chamberlain, has been one of the few exceptions that have

seen through the communist, “long road,” they lacked both the power and support to counter

these ambitious on behalf of the Marxist-Leninists. With that being said, a cultural Chinese

expert, Steven Mosher, has pioneered the research of the concept and phrase of “hegemon”,

studying China’s “paradigm shift in the post American world” to use his knowledge of the

Chinese history; their government and process of thinking, to shed light on their Hegemonic

plans to dominate Asia. In turn, his research also serves as a warning to the American public

and government of China’s plan to overtake the world militaristically and economically.



Throughout Steven Mosher’s “Hegemon: China’s Plan to Dominate Asia and the

World,” he makes presumptions based off of his studies, backed by his extensive knowledge

of Chinese History and their assumed course of action to come. Within his presumptions,

there is evidence of Chinese officials attempting to place additional power in the hands in the

, Kings and Dukes, and many examples of the concentration of power can be seen within the

text. This asserts the concentration of power, alluding to the idea that even in ancient times,

is in direct ties communism as the method in which this power can be allotted. Overall, this

historical analysis sums up the actions of the modern Chinese government, and how they

continue to use communism as the vehicle to control their citizens totally. In connection with

China’s path to domination, communism is one of the many efforts to continue their path to

hegemony. In continuance, it could also be alluded that Mosher also connects the further

control of the Chinese people back to the idea of those that who have contributed to the

foundation of this control of the Legalist line of thought. Meaning, Legalists in ancient

Chinese governments would aid in the transition of power from the Chinese populace to the

Kings and Dukes. By aiding the Kings and Dukes, the Legalists were essentially strategizing

the furtherance of hegemony.


China’s lines of thought that have prevailed into current times, as outlined by

Mosher, include the perception of China to view neighboring nation states as lesser than in

comparison to China, implying that these nations should recognize its hegemony and in turn

become tributary states that owe allegiance. This can be viewed in present day, in the

relationship of China to Taiwan, as Taiwan is viewed as a weaker nation, which is mostly

undebatable on the issue of militaristic and economic power, however, is not under the

influence of the Chinese. On the opposite end of the spectrum, China uses North Korea as

leverage, partially to their international opponent the United States. Where dominance cannot

be asserted, Mosher notes that strategic force, especially in terms of diplomacy, will be used.

Therefore, China essentially realizes that it has become the most powerful and dominant

force in the region and uses this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with other nations,

including the United States.
