Abstract
Following the multisited knowledge production that constructs the intellectual images of China across various communities, the current chapter substitutes the traveling agents for communities to study how one’s knowledge of China evolves along with individual choice over identity strategy. Sinicization describes processes of civilizational evolution that adapt both internal needs and external contacts with various agents who substantially, though not fully, share worldviews, values, self-understanding, and life practices. Appropriating knowledgeable practices across civilizational boundaries encourage adaptation. Sinicization thus rests on the readiness of its agents to conceptualize and practice new ways of self-understanding.
