Abstract

The introduction to Ken Liu’s translated volume, Invisible Planets (2016) is titled “China Dreams”. Here, Liu indicates that “the phrase ‘China Dreams’ is in fact a play on President Xi Jinping’s promotion of the ‘Chinese Dream’ as a slogan for China’s development”, used here because “science fiction is the literature of dreams”.
