Abstract
This talk, based on Yao LIN's rece
nt article, examines the puzzling phenomenon that many Chinese liberal inte
llectuals fervently idolize Donald Trump and embrace the alt-right ideologi
es he epitomizes. Rejecting ‘pure tactic’ and ‘neoliberal affinity’ explana
tions, it argues that the Trumpian metamorphosis of Chinese liberal intelle
ctuals is precipitated by their ‘beacon complex’, which has ‘political’ and
‘civilizational’ components. Political beaconism grows from the traumatizi
ng lived experience of Maoist totalitarianism, sanitizes the West and parti
cularly the United States as politically near-perfect, and gives rise to bo
th a neoliberal affinity and a latent hostility toward baizuo
. Civilizational beaconism, sharing with its nationalistic counterpart—civi
lizational vindicativism—the heritages of scientific racism and social Darw
inism imported in late-Qing, renders the Chinese liberal intelligentsia rec
eptive to anti-immigrant and Islamophobic paranoia, exacerbates its anti-

Abstract
This talk, based on Yao LIN's recent article, examines the puzzling phenomenon that many Chinese liberal intellectuals fervently idoli ze Donald Trump and embrace the alt-right ideologies he epitomizes. Rejecti ng ‘pure tactic’ and ‘neoliberal affinity’ explanations, it argues that the Trumpian metamorphosis of Chinese liberal intellectuals is precipitated by their ‘beacon complex’, which has ‘political’ and ‘civilizational’ compone nts. Political beaconism grows from the traumatizing lived experience of Ma oist totalitarianism, sanitizes the West and particularly the United States as politically near-perfect, and gives rise to both a neoliberal affinity and a latent hostility toward baizuo. Civilizational beaconis m, sharing with its nationalistic counterpart—civilizational vindicativism— the heritages of scientific racism and social Darwinism imported in late-Qi ng, renders the Chinese liberal intelligentsia receptive to anti-immigrant and Islamophobic paranoia, exacerbates its anti-baizuo sentim ents, and catalyzes its Trumpian convergence with Chinese non-liberals.
