SUMMARY:Contesting Territory\, Asserting Sovereignty beyond China’s Borders
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:Darshana M. Baruah\, Fellow\, South Asia Program\, Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceAndrew Chubb\, Senior Lecturer in Chinese Politics and International Relations\, Lancaster UniversityIsaac B. Kardon\, Senior Fellow for China Studies\, Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceModerators:Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow; Director\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian StudiesJames Evans\, Ph.D. Candidate in History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nChina is increasingly assertive in its claims to territories along its borderlands. From renewed tensions with India in the Himalayas\, to the construction of military outposts on expanded islets in the South China Sea\, China’s pursuit of land and maritime claims display an unwillingness to compromise in its contestations over territory. Combined with its overseas expansion in military bases and civilian infrastructure\, China’s outbound activities indicate that Beijing will continue to assert claims over its near abroad and beyond to ensure its political\, military\, and economic security. Bringing together experts on the South China Sea\, the Indian Ocean\, and China’s overseas expansion\, this panel discussion asks how China’s adaptive understanding of sovereignty and territory interact with a growing assertiveness in its foreign affairs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Texas: From Carbon Emitter to Green Hydrogen Exporter - A Promising Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Haiyang Lin\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy and Environment \n\n\n\nTexas\, as the largest oil and natural gas producer in the United States\, faces significant challenges in the global move towards decarbonization. As a potential solution\, this study examines the feasibility of investing in green hydrogen\, a promising alternative to oil and gas as a primary energy source. By harnessing its abundant wind and solar resources\, Texas has the potential to become a major producer and exporter of green hydrogen\, reducing its carbon footprint and promoting a sustainable energy future. This talk is part of comparative research on the same topics in China\, led by Chinese researcher Dr. Haiyang Lin\, and drawing on knowledge from China. \n\n\n\nThis research conducts detailed simulations and optimizations of green hydrogen supply scenarios\, incorporating decarbonization of the power sector in Texas. The objective is to explore the role of Texas’s green hydrogen in decarbonizing its economy and reducing the carbon footprint of energy use in the United States more broadly. First\, the potential of renewable sources is estimated. Hydrogen supply\, pipeline planning\, and grid expansion are then integrated to assess opportunities for using zero-carbon hydrogen in transport services\, industrial processes\, and chemical production. The study reveals that Texas has significant advantages in an expanding hydrogen economy\, including abundant renewable sources\, existing infrastructure\, and availability of salt caverns for storage\, all of which provide both scale and cost benefits\, as well as enhanced grid stability. Under 2030 low carbon policy restrictions\, more than 20 million tons of hydrogen can be produced and then used as fuel or converted to other chemicals at a competitive cost compared to fossil fuel sources. Retrofitting extensive oil and gas pipelines originating from Texas or constructing new pipelines\, Texas can maintain its role as an energy exporter\, contributing to the energy needs of the country in a sustainable manner. \n\n\n\nOur work considers the possibility of importing the cheap alkaline electrolyzer from China to Texas to help the state develop a green hydrogen economy. Chinese electrolyzer is one third of the cost for US eclectrolyzer. We simulated their utilization in Texas and highlighted the impact of importing Chinese electrolyzer on green H2 production in terms of levelized H2 cost and scale. \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, given the similarities of Texas and Inner Mongolia in fossil fuel consumption\, industrial development\, and renewable power endowment\, we are looking for collaborations to pursue a comparative study on Inner Mongolia\, China. This seminar will focus on Texas’s green hydrogen economy but the research framework and methodology we developed are well applicable for studying other regions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Grey zones: Opium Trade\, Migrations\, and Empires in Central and Northeast Asia\, 1900s-1930s
DESCRIPTION:watch on youtube live\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Niccolò Pianciola\, Associate Professor of History\, University of PaduaModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow; Director\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies \n\n\n\nBy comparing the border area between Turkestan and Xinjiang with the region in the Russian Far East bordering Manchuria\, the talk will explore how the cross-border opium economy connected the Tsarist Empire and then the USSR to China and to the larger global opium market. It will also highlight the ambiguous status between legality and illegality in which opium remained during this period of imperial competition and state collapse\, and the contradictions in both Tsarist and early Soviet rule of these two key Asian borderlands. \n\n\n\nAlso available on YouTube Live.

SUMMARY:Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao China
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Jérôme Doyon\, Junior Professor at SciencesPo; author of Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao ChinaRespondent: Elizabeth Perry\, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government at Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute\,  \n\n\n\nWorking for the administration remains one of the most coveted career paths for young Chinese. “Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao China” seeks to understand what motivates young and educated Chinese to commit to a long-term career in the party-state and how this question is central to the Chinese regime’s ability to maintain its cohesion and survive. Jérôme Doyon draws upon extensive fieldwork and statistical analysis in order to illuminate the undogmatic commitment recruitment techniques and other methods the state has taken to develop a diffuse allegiance to the party-state in the post-Mao era. He then analyzes recruitment and political professionalization in the Communist Party’s youth organizations and shows how experiences in the Chinese Communist Youth League transform recruits and feed their political commitment as they are gradually inducted into the world of officials. As the first in-depth study of the Communist Youth League’s role in recruitment\, this book challenges the assumption that merit is the main criteria for advancement within the party-state\, an argument with deep implications for understanding Chinese politics today. \n\n\n\nLunch will be served for in-person attendees.  \n\n\n\nRegistration is required for both online and in-person attendees. Register at: https://hksexeced.tfaforms.net/f/event-registration?s=a1n4V000006EM8BQAW&c=7014V000002IyegQAC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
