The Hua-yi system represents an enduring international order in East Asia, dating back nearly two millennia, structured and developed within the framework of Chinese culture. While the contemporary international system predominantly follows the Westphalian model, mainstream international relations theories are primarily grounded in it. However, Western theories have proven inadequate in explaining the longstanding Hua-yi system in East Asia comprehensively. Adopting a positivist stance, this paper undertakes an examination of the theoretical underpinnings of the Hua-yi system through an analysis of its connotations and historical development. It elucidates the system through the lenses of hegemony stability theory and constructivist cultural perspectives. Present-day East Asian nations are urged to engage dialectically with the Hua-yi system and uphold its practices of “cultural soft border”. Amidst the global trend of multi-polarization, East Asian nations should realign with East Asian perspectives and interests, endeavoring to establish a neo-Hua-yi system with responsibility at its core.
