摘要

Based on the postmodernist theory of intertextuality, this paper makes an analysis of the formation of the "China Threat Theory". Through an analysis from the perspective of intertextuality, it can be seen that the conventional international cognition of the rising state as well as of China's past has to a certain extent contributed to the formation of "China Threat Theory".
