Abstract:J. Hillis Miller, one of the most influential contemporary American literary theorists, has been critically and scholarly studied by many Chinese scholars and critics. His works are often quoted and discussed critically, and are also enlightening to the theoretical thinking and construction of China's literary critics. He has been to China more than 20 times, attending various conferences, lecturing in some famous universities and research institutions in China. In 2015 and 2016, in the United States and China, a selected volume of his China lectures were published in both English and Chinese. Miller's significance to China is particularly evident in the misunderstanding among Chinese scholars of his views on the “end of literature” and the debate that ensued, and also in his exchange letters of discussion with Chinese scholar Zhang Jiang on the issue of “imposed interpretation”, which triggered largescale critical discussion in both Chinese and Western contexts. Chinese literary theory and literary studies need the support and promotion of mainstream Western theorists like Miller if they are to go global. As such, Miller's contribution to the internationalization of China's humanities and academia should be especially appreciated and valued.
