SUMMARY:Andrew Collier — The Decline of China’s Property Market and the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Collier\, Senior Fellow\, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government\, Harvard Kennedy School \n\n\n\nFrom 1992 until the boom ended in 2021\, Chinese home property sales grew at an average rate of 25 percent per year. China was awash in new construction — often in the middle of empty fields far from city centers. In the United States and Europe real estate generally is less than 10 per cent of fixed asset investment. It was much higher in China. Real estate investment grew rapidly from 4 per cent of GDP in 1997 to 15 per cent of GDP in 2014\, accounting for 15 per cent of fixed asset investment and 15 per cent of urban employment. In some cities it topped 40 percent of local investment. China has built more housing per person than any major European country even though its GDP per capita is only one-third as high. \n\n\n\nHowever\, concerned about a speculative bubble\, the leadership crashed the market in 2020 with a new set of rules\, the “Three Red Lines\,” forcing developers to halt or slow construction. As a result\, China has lost its top contributor to economic growth and is struggling to replace it. What does this mean for geopolitics? Slowing Chinese growth will weaken the country’s global position militarily and politically and force the leadership to make hard choices about economic allocation. \n\n\n\nThis study group / discussion is open to all HUID holders. Registration is not necessary.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The 28th Annual Harvard East Asia Society Conference — Flow: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Harvard East Asia Society (HEAS) Graduate Student Conference is an annual event that provides an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on topics related to Asia. The conference invites young scholars to present their research to their peers and renowned scholars in relevant fields. Participants will also meet others in their research area and forge new professional relationships. \n\n\n\nThis year’s conference is titled “Flow: A Symposium.”Flow is about time\, dynamics\, and fluidity. It reflects East Asia as a region nourished by rivers\, seasonal winds\, and maritime routes. How can the idea of flow help us rethink and even unlearn the studies of East Asia? This title advances the notion of global East Asia as an infinite set of critical inquiry\, lifting the theoretical\, historical\, and empirical boundaries of East Asia Studies beyond any territorial borders. The committee welcomes scholarship whose subjects\, approaches\, and/or methodologies take a step back in reflection on the idea of East Asia in ways that “go with the flow” rather than “off the beaten track.” We also invite scholarship engaged with local\, national\, regional\, and transnational\, as well as (trans)historical and interdisciplinary studies. \n\n\n\nMore information can be found on our website: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/heasconference  \n\n\n\nQuestions or concerns can be directed to heasconference@gmail.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Hang Tu — 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤: 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘵
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Hang Tu\, Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies\, National University of SingaporeModerator: David Wang\, Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nHow does emotion shape the landscape of public intellectual debate? In Sentimental Republic\, Hang Tu proposes emotion as a new critical framework to approach a post-Mao cultural controversy. As it entered a period of market reform\, China did not turn away from revolutionary sentiments. Rather\, the post-Mao period experienced a surge of emotionally charged debates about red legacies\, ranging from the anguished denunciations of Maoist violence to the elegiac remembrances of socialist egalitarianism. \n\n\n\nSentimental Republic chronicles forty years (1978–2018) of bitter cultural wars about the Maoist past. It analyzes how the four major intellectual clusters in contemporary China—liberals\, the left\, cultural conservatives\, and nationalists—debated Mao’s revolutionary legacies in light of the postsocialist transition. Should the Chinese condemn revolutionary violence and “bid farewell to socialism”? Or would a return to revolution foster alternative visions of China’s future path? Tu probes the nexus of literature\, thought\, and memory\, bringing to light the dynamic moral sentiments and emotional excess at work in these post-Mao ideological contentions. By analyzing how rival intellectual camps stirred up melancholy\, guilt\, anger\, and resentment\, Tu argues that the polemics surrounding the country’s past cannot be properly understood without reading the emotional trajectories of the post-Mao intelligentsia. \n\n\n\nSponsored by the Harvard University Asia Center and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies  \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Li Miao — Retaining Desire for Social Mobility Within and Beyond Schooling: A Longitudinal Ethnography of Migrant Youth in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Li Miao\, Professor\, Department of Sociology\, Shandong University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Emily Hannum\, Professor of Sociology and Education; Associate Dean\, School of Arts & Sciences\, University of Pennsylvania \n\n\n\nBased on the results of China’s seventh national population census in 2020\, 71.09 million children of migrant-peasant workers have participated in rural-urban migration for family reunion and educational purposes. How do they make sense of the value of schooling and their prospects for upward mobility in an increasingly stratified society? Drawing on ethnographic data from a longitudinal study (2011 to the present)\, this talk examines the educational experiences of a group of migrant youth over ten years of circular migration between Beijing and Zouping\, a county-level city in Shandong Province. These youth retain desire for upward mobility by resisting “gratitude education” in urban schools\, questioning the incorporation of live-streaming technologies in rural education\, forming the “shehui ren” (society man) subculture\, and exploring opportunities in the gig economy. Their sustained efforts highlight the obstacles posed by structural and institutional constraints in the larger society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
