After Xi Jinping came to power, his assertive diplomatic style was seen as seeking hegemony. However, Xi Jinping reiterated that China resolutely opposed hegemony, and“the Chinese dream is not a dream of hegemony.”Unlike most literature that ignores such claims, this paper believes that the discourse on anti-hegemony is important because it represents not only an ideological discourse encompassing the Chinese Communist Party’s worldview but also a discourse system for the CCP to establish its legitimacy. This research reviews the history of the CCP’s anti-hegemony discourse and analyzes 2,486 speeches by Xi Jinping using text mining to understand the meaning and implications of the CCP’s anti-hegemony discourse. This paper also compares the report texts of Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping from the 15th to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and analyzes how the anti-hegemony discourse has evolved in the new era of majorcountry diplomacy. This paper argues that within the context of the CCP, hegemony is synonymous with power politics, and the anti-hegemony discourse serves as a practical ideological discourse used by the CCP in the field of diplomacy. It consists of two parts:“anti-hegemony”and“non-hegemony”, and has the characteristics of“amoeba”, which will expand its connotation according to diplomatic needs. Based on the distribution of anti-hegemony discourses on the time axis, we found that when China is in fierce confrontation with other countries or China needs to establish a good international image, anti-hegemony discourses will increase. We believe that anti-hegemony discourses meet the CCP’s external confrontation and legitimacy needs. Finally, after comparing the speech texts of Xi Jinping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao, the paper finds that the expression of“not seeking hegemony”in Xi Jinping’s speech is more specific, so the China’s leadership role in counter-hegemony becomes clearer. The paper suggests that this shift is influenced by China’s external environment and Xi Jinping’s personal factors. |
