A Pillar of Legitimacy China’s nationalism today is shaped by its pride in its history as well as its century of humiliation at the hands of the West and Japan. China expert Peter Hays Gries writes: “Chinese nationalists today find pride in stories about the superiority of China’s ‘5000 years’ of ‘glorious civilization.’” This yearning for lost glory is accompanied by the story of victimization in the past, a narrative central to what being Chinese today means, says Gries....

Even better for Kelly? He’s still getting paid by the Eagles. He was owed $13.4 million at the time of his firing, although since he was hired by San Francisco, there’s an offset against future earnings in the contract that makes it so Kelly can’t double-dip. This means the Eagles ended up owing Kelly about $1 million, or roughly $500,000 per year. But now that Kelly has been fired, it creates an interesting scenario, as ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio pointed out....
