SUMMARY:Beijing Olympiad: First Time as Mass Spectacle\, Second Time as Digital Ornament
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cassandra Xin Guan\, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow\, MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology \n\n\n\nThe opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was notable for its spectacular deployment of the mass human ornament. In 2022\, a second Olympic opening ceremony took place amidst a global pandemic and rising geopolitical tension between China and the US. This time around the hot and noisy masses that thrilled American television viewers with their coordinated precision have vanished from the scene of representation. In documentations of the two events: one hot\, one cold; one crowded\, one empty; one bursting with life\, one eerily devoid of humanity—we see a thermal-aesthetic inversion that assigns representational values to an under-theorized historical interval between China’s first and second Olympic Games. This talk will tarry with the chronotopic form of this interval\, with\, that is\, the time-space of historical figuration. Drawing attention to the emergence of a nationalist imaginary determined by the paradox of automation\, I ask what global forces are responsible for the cooling of the mass spectacle’s hot noise\, and what happens to the efficacy of the vitalized icon when the masses exit the mass ornament? \n\n\n\nCassandra Xin Guan is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at The MIT Center for Art\, Science & Technology. She holds a PhD in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University and was Dean’s Faculty Fellow in the Program of Science\, Technology\, Society (STS). She is currently working on two books in tandem: “Maladaptive Media: ‘Life’ and Other Works of Animation” and “Imagine There’s No Human: China in Animation.” Her writings have appeared in October\, Screen\, and Critical Inquiry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Robert Ross: ​Wedge Strategies and Alliance Politics: Chinese Coercion and the U.S.-Philippine Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Robert S. Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston CollegeModerator: James Robson\, James C. Kralik\, and Yunli Lou Professor\, Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations; Harvard College Professor; Victor and William Fung Director\, Asia Center\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk examines China’s wedge strategy toward the U.S.-Philippine alliance during the presidency of Benigno Aquino III. Although the Philippine-China sovereignty dispute was the proximate cause of Chinese coercion\, it does not explain Chinese policy. Chinese policy evolution and the writings of Chinese scholars and think-tank analysts make clear that China’s foremost concern was that the Philippine’s defense cooperation with the United States in support of its sovereignty claims contributed to the U.S. “pivot” to Asia and to U.S. “containment” of China. China used its military and economic capabilities to undermine Philippine confidence in U.S. support and to weaken the Philippine economy\, thus driving a wedge between the Philippines and the United States and undermining the U.S. challenge to Chinese security. After the Philippines adjusted it alignment between China and the United States\, China eased its coercion and it used economic “rewards” to consolidate Philippine realignment. The talk concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of the Marcos\, Jr.\, presidency for U.S.-China competition and regional affairs. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.

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

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: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:Jie Gao - From Planned Economy to Planned Governance: Transformation of China’s Socialist Planning System
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jie Gao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Political Science\, National University of Singapore; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Discussant: Isabella Weber\, Assistant Professor of Economics\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst \n\n\n\nIn China as in many other Communist countries\, the evolution of socialist planning has been central to the transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented one. Conventional wisdom argues that the market will “grow out of the plan” in tandem with the state’s gradual abandonment of the core features of the Soviet-style socialist planning system\, such as direct state allocation of materials. But have the scope and reach of the socialist planning system been reduced after the market grows out of the plan? This study argues that after three decades of marketization and decentralization reforms\, the socialist planning system has not shrunk. On the contrary\, it has been “reinvented\,” and its role in governing China has expanded. The transformation of the socialist planning system can be observed from the rise of a governance-by-targets regime during the past four decades—a phenomenon that performance targets\, many of which are derived from the party-state’s development plans\, are increasingly and ubiquitously used in managing social\, economic and political affairs. Put in this light\, China is moving from a planned economy to “planned governance”\, and during this process\, the reinvention of the socialist plan is happening alongside the growth of the socialist market\, rather than one superseding the other. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:Wei Wei - Family Matters: Chinese Queer Politics Around the Rise of a Family-State
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wei Wei\, Professor of Sociology\, East China Normal University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/Discussant: Michael Bronski\, Professor of the Practice In Media And Activism In Studies Of Women\, Gender\, And Sexuality\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nLGBT activism in mainland China\, based on the trajectory of identity politics\, faces increasing challenges from the state in recent years. Drawing insights from the scholarship of provincizing sexual citizenship and building on my decades-long researches into Chinese LGBT communities and activism\, the study situates such challenges and responses of the LGBT communities in the context of a rising Chinese family-state. It first lays out the bleak reality of civic participation and mobilization\, parallel to the ascendance of familist discourses\, that lead to the reconfiguration of Chinese queer politics. The engagement of LGBT communities to the Chinese family-state will be the focus of the talk. On the one hand\, the newly emerging LGBT parent families utilize the opportunities of policy change to strive for the state’s recognition; on the other hand\, family value as a shared rhetoric but open for contestation\, has been appropriated by the LGBT activism to negotiate with the state for survival. The talk concludes with a discussion of Chinese homonationalism in the making\, which may also have implication for queer politics beyond China. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \n\n\n\nMasks are required for all in-person audience members.

SUMMARY:Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin - Mitigating COVID Disinfodemic: Health Misinformation\, Digital Literacy and Vaccination in Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Trisha Tsui-Chuan Lin\, Professor\, College of Communication\, National Chengchi University\, Taiwan; Harvard Yenching Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23; Fulbright Senior Researcher\, Harvard University\, 2022-23 \n\n\n\nChair/discussant: Winnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of Global Health Policy and Economics\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, social media algorithms has facilitated the viral spread of mis- and disinformation\, resulting in global public health crises. After raising Coronavirus epidemic warning in mid-2021\, Taiwan has faced increasing health misinformation risks and challenges of mitigation. The goal of the mixed-method research is two-fold: to examine characteristics of Taiwan’s health misinformation after COVID-19 Level 3 Alert\, and to investigate the complex relationship among social media users’ (dis)information efficacy\, health literacy and their impacts on vaccination. First\, I systematically analyzed viral health misinformation messages verified by fact-check organizations over the past 1.5 years. Content analysis shows that prevalent types of Coronavirus falsehoods are related to vaccine effectiveness\, false cures and preventative measures\, and government’s epidemic prevention. Their most salient motives include fear mongering and conspiracies\, especially on political smear. Next\, my survey of Taiwanese social media users finds that COVID-19 health literacy significantly increases individual adoption of preventive measures and vaccination. Social media information efficacy is the key to improve critical posts of COVID-19 information\, which positively affects health literacy and its components (i.e.\, accessing\, understanding\, appraising\, and applying health information). Nonetheless\, social media disinformation efficacy moderately influences how people understand and apply health literacy. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.

SUMMARY:Urban China Seminar Series featuring Tingting Lu - Collaborative Neighborhood Governance During the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tingting Lu\, ​Shanghai Jiao Tong University \n\n\n\n​The COVID-19 pandemic is a governance challenge for nations and cities across the world. While early observations have primarily focused on nation-scale government actions\, our research shows that neighborhood social capital also plays a key role in Chinese neighborhoods. Drawing from collaborative governance theory\, we examine the horizontal and hierarchical dynamics of neighborhood governance collaboration during crisis responses in urban China. Using a large-scale questionnaire survey of frontline community workers conducted in six Chinese cities in February 2020\, we find that from the perspective of residents’ committees\, the effectiveness of collaborative governance in pandemic control is predicted by both neighborhood social capital (i.e. civic engagement and citizen participation) and hierarchical steering by the government through setting policy priorities and providing support. We also surveyed residents for their opinions on neighborhood collaborative governance post pandemic. Social capital presents opposite correlations to one’s collaboration with a residents’ committee and collaboration with a private management company.  \n\n\n\nTingting Lu is an Associate Professor at School of International and Public Affairs\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Her research focuses on neighborhood governance and housing development in urban China. Recently she has also worked on gated communities\, social segregation\, and neighborhood attachment\, and has published in leading journals in urban studies and geography\, including Urban Studies\, Urban Geography\, and Geoforum.  \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96217779608 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

DESCRIPTION:Politics\, Taiwan Studies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Eva Nga Shan Ng\, Assistant Professor\, Translation Programme\, School of Chinese\, the University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23Chair/discussant: Nicholas Harkness\, Modern Korean Economy and Society Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nStudies in jury comprehension have hitherto mainly explored Anglo-American courts and focused on examining English-speaking jurors’ ability to understand legal discourse\, particularly with respect to jury instructions. Such studies reveal doubts about jurors’ comprehension of the legalese in jury instructions and argue for the use of plain English to make jury instructions accessible to lay jurors. This paper reports findings of a study contextualized in the Hong Kong courtroom\, where criminal trials in the High Court are routinely heard by local Chinese jurors presumed to have a sufficient command of the language used in court\, be it English or Chinese. This study aims to test the validity of  the presumption about Chinese jurors’ ability to understand trials conducted in English\, which they speak as a second or even a foreign language (L2)\, and to explore how L2 jurors’ comprehension might be further compromised due to a lack of proficiency in English. A random sample of local Chinese eligible for jury service (N=53) are recruited from the community to take part in the study\, which comprises a demographic survey of the subjects\, as well as a test of their comprehension of courtroom discourse using authentic audio recordings of two trials from the High Court of Hong Kong. The results of this study show an average listening comprehension level of around 41% by the subjects\, with some attaining below 25%. The results also show that the subjects’ listening comprehension problems are not limited to legalese. Taking the Voice Projection Framework (Heffer 2018) as a point of reference\, this study suggests that while discursive voicing is largely to blame for the subjects’ comprehension problem\, as in studies with native English-speaking jurors\, in the case of L2 jurors\, the speakers’ physical voicing of courtroom discourse is demonstrated and perceived by the subjects to be a major factor in impeding their comprehension of the courtroom discourse. This paper argues that making courtroom discourse accessible to L2 jurors means more than improving the discursive voicing\, but physical voicing matters as much\, if not more. This paper also discusses the possibility of providing interpretation for jurors in need of the service to ensure equal participation in jury service by people randomly selected from the community and to mitigate the jury dilemma. \n\n\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar talk \n\n\n\nSeating is limited.
