In this study, I explain the causal relationship between the expansion of the Chinese book market and the popularization of the nationalistic discourses since mid-1990s. By analyzing the motivations and politico-cultural structures given to the book market actors, I argue that various actors in the book industry, especially book dealers (shushang), found both political safety and marketability in nationalistic discourses; and subsequently, the profit-maximizing efforts of the book industry proliferated and radicalized those discourses among the Chinese reading populace. In the process of the analysis, I suggested two frameworks to interpret popular nationalism in East Asia. First, unlike state-centered European/Western nationalism, East Asian nationalisms can be better understood as hegemony that informs both the state and the general populace of the cognitive reality of politics and history. Since nation possesses higher authority than state in the field of ideology, the commodification of nationalism by cultural market in this region cannot be easily checked and balanced by the state's free will. Second, without strong civil society, political discourses in this region are highly susceptible not only to the state but also to the market force, even under an authoritarian regime. By utilizing Appadurai's and Bourdieu's theories, I suggested that political discourses in market society are produced by interactions among state, market and civil society. In case of China, however, the absence of self-sustaining civil society allows burgeoning market force to directly interact with the state. As a result, cultural intellectuals in China have been forced to choose one of two dependency; market dependency or state dependency.
