Emperor at home, king abroad was a system of conducting relations between states within the Chinese cultural sphere. Rulers of lesser regimes would adopt the title of emperor and/or other imperial titles domestically, and adopt the title of king when dealing with the dominant Chinese regime.

This system was applicable to Japan, Korea and Vietnam, as well as less powerful Chinese states, among others.
