SUMMARY:Wang Xiying - Intimacy\, Desire\, and Reproduction: Women Living with HIV/AIDS in Beijing
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wang Xiying\, Professor\, Faculty of Education\, Beijing Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Susan Greenhalgh\, John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society\, Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nThis talk focuses on understanding the daily lives of women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) and their coping strategies of the illness within the current Chinese society. Selecting intimacy\, desire and reproduction as three key concepts to explore their lives\, this talk is attentive to the ways in which gender inequality is played out in their practices of romantic and intimate relationships\, womanhood and motherhood\, marriage and family\, sexuality and reproductive health. Through the narrative of their lives\, the talk attempts to provide a brief sketch of HIV/AIDS history in China\, and illustrate how the HIV/AIDS issue is deeply related to broader social issues including unsafe blood and plasma selling\, massive scale of migration\, spreading of drug use\, emerging LGBT communities and sexual revolution. This talk depicts the institutional and social structure transformation embedded within WLHA’s personal experience in the fast-changing contemporary China. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/intimacy-desire-and-reproduction-women-living-hivaids-beijing

SUMMARY:Wen-Chin Wu - How does China’s Foreign Aid Undermine the Effectiveness of US Foreign Policy? —Evidence from UN General Assembly Voting Data
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wen-Chin Wu\, Assistant Research Fellow\, Institute of Political Science\, Academia Sinica; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Christina Davis\, Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Susan S. and Kenneth L. Wallach Professor\, Radcliffe Institute \nThe economic rise of China is inspiring a burgeoning literature on how China uses its economic power to influence other countries’ domestic politics and foreign policy. In this study\, I analyze how China’s foreign aid discourages its recipients from complying with US foreign policy goals in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Previous studies have shown that the US can successfully lobby other states to support its position in votes on UN resolutions that it deems important to US interests\, such as those on human rights issues. In this study\, I use a new dataset on Chinese foreign aid and hypothesize that the emergence of China as a major donor makes developing countries less dependent on US aid. In particular\, third countries would be less likely to comply with the US on important votes in the UNGA if they receive more aid from China. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/how-does-china-s-foreign-aid-undermine-effectiveness-us-foreign-policy-evidence-un-general

SUMMARY:Dirk van der Kley - Less is More…The New BRI in Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dirk van der Kley\, Program Director for Policy Research\, China Matters \nXi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative has changed significantly in Central Asia in the last few years. In particular\, direct Chinese government lending through Eximbank to Central Asian states has completely dried up. Instead the focus has shifted to smaller investment projects that create jobs for Central Asians and exports for Central Asian states\, while also providing benefits for Chinese companies. This is a much tougher task than just building infrastructure. It forces Chinese companies to operate in challenging business environments in Central Asia in key sectors. This presentation will systematically examine how these changes are paying out in each Central Asian state. It will demonstrate that Chinese companies have their own agency. For example\, they still try to shift debt burdens onto recipient states through hidden means or joint ventures with Central Asian state-owned enterprises. \n

SUMMARY:Zhai Shaodong - Ground Stone Tool Production: A Forsaken Craft During Early Urbanization in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhai Shaodong\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Archaeology\, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Rowan Flad\, John E. Hudson Professor of Archaeology\, Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nIn China\, ground stone tools emerged during the transition period from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic time. However\, they did not take the place of knapped stone tools as the main production tools until the Yangshao Culture. This process coincided with the change from hunting and gathering to agriculture and sedentism. Therefore\, ground stone tools greatly supported agricultural development and sedentism. If there were ground stone tools\, there was ground stone tool production. Currently\, there are not many clues about ground stone tool production during and before the Yangshao Culture in the Central Plains of China\, but there are some related data from Taosi\, Erlitou and Yin Ruins. These three sites also represented the early urbanization process in China. This talk will compare ground stone tool production at these three sites in order to see the status of ground stone tool production during early urbanization in the Central Plains of China \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/ground-stone-tool-production-forsaken-craft-during-early-urbanization-china
