Source refs: `video:interview-sutm8lojrqw@transcript:v1#seg-0035` - model: Jiang argues that China has not historically operated with imperial ambition because its geography protected it, producing an insular and isolationist mentality; he therefore calls Pax Sinica a Western projection rather than a Chinese self-description.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
