Envisioning a new cultural topography: Linking chinese global cities

Situating in the theoretical framework of "Greater China," this article discusses the possibilities of conceiving a new cultural geography that will allow us to view the world in a new kind of global spatial order, instead of looking at the world as composed of a body of nations. This new inter-and cross-cultural map will show that a global urban culture has been in the making within the proposed Chinese global cities, namely, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, and that in fact they share more in common with each other than with the cultures of the state where these cities exist.
