SUMMARY:Angela Zhang —U.S. Tech Policy Toward China: Growing Parallels Between Washington and Beijing?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Angela Huyue Zhang\, Professor of Law\, University of Southern California\, Gould School of Law \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will pose the provocative question of whether America is now acting like China in its attempt to contain China’s technological rise. Amid the escalating Sino-U.S. tech war\, the United States has built an unprecedented legal machine aimed at curbing China’s technological advancements. From imposing stringent sanctions on Chinese tech giants to restricting China’s access to advanced semiconductor chips and equipment\, the U.S. government has intensified efforts to slow China’s progress in key sectors. In parallel\, it has heightened scrutiny over both inbound and outbound investments related to China\, passed a law that could lead to a nationwide ban on Tik Tok\, and imposed steep tariffs on Chinese high-tech goods such as electric vehicles\, batteries\, and solar panels. Meanwhile\, U.S. agencies have significantly ramped up enforcement against espionage activities\, disproportionately targeting ethnic Chinese scientists\, which has led to a talent exodus in recent years. \n\n\n\nDrawing from my newly released book\, High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy\, I will explore the striking parallels between the U.S. and China’s regulatory governance. Through a deep dive into the structure\, processes\, and outcomes of U.S. legal strategies\, I will unravel the dynamic complexities and unintended consequences of U.S. legal actions against China. Additionally\, I will offer proposals on how the United States can recalibrate its tech policy to enhance resilience and maintain its competitive edge in the fast-changing technological landscape. \n\n\n\nAngela Huyue Zhang is a Professor of Law at the USC Gould School of Law. Zhang has broad research interests in the areas of law and economics\, particularly in transnational legal issues bearing on businesses. Widely recognized as a leading authority on Chinese tech regulation\, she has written extensively on this topic. Her first book\, Chinese Antitrust Exceptionalism: How the Rise of China Challenges Global Regulation\, was named one of the Best Political Economy Books of the Year by ProMarket in 2021. Her second book\, High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy\, released in March 2024\, has been covered in The New York Times\, Bloomberg\, Wire China\, MIT Tech Review and many other international news outlets. Zhang is currently conducting research on the regulation of artificial intelligence\, with plans to teach and write on this topic in the coming years. Before joining USC Gould in 2024\, Zhang taught at the University of Hong Kong\, New York University School of Law\, and King’s College London. \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Haiyang Lin — Discrepancies Between Estimated and Actual Wind Power Generation in the U.S. and China
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Haiyang Lin\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project \n\n\n\nThe urgency of addressing climate change is evident\, and wind energy plays a vital role in global strategies to reduce carbon emissions and transition toward a sustainable energy future. Accurate assessments of wind resources are crucial for this transition. However\, current wind energy development and research heavily rely on meteorological datasets\, which\, despite their widespread use\, exhibit significant discrepancies both internally and in comparison to actual wind power generation. These discrepancies\, though not widely recognized\, can lead to ineffective decision-making\, resulting in substantial economic and energy losses. This talk will examine these issues by comparing estimates from multiple datasets to real-world wind power generation across 1\,276 wind farm sites in the United States and 10\,032 sites in China. \n\n\n\nIn the U.S.\, our analysis reveals significant regional discrepancies\, particularly in coastal areas where actual generation far exceeds estimates. For example\, in some regions\, models project only one-third of the actual generation observed. While incorporating factors such as air density and wake loss into assessments could reduce these gaps\, it may introduce additional biases at the plant level\, complicating the accuracy of future predictions. Wind farm attributes\, such as the operation year\, show strong correlations with estimation accuracy\, emphasizing the decline in turbine performance with age. Moreover\, comparisons among models reveal that capacity factors amplify wind speed differences by 2-3 times\, highlighting the need to leverage accessible wind generation data to enhance meteorological products and improve predictive accuracy. \n\n\n\nIn China\, the discrepancy between theoretical and real-world outcomes is equally significant\, with regions like Inner Mongolia showing an estimated capacity factor (CF) of 35%-60%\, yet only achieving an actual CF of 25.9% in 2023—surprisingly lower than Yunnan’s 32.4%. Such large gaps can lead to misguided planning and ineffective strategies for wind power expansion. China’s main issue lies in the underperformance of wind farms\, with much of the wind energy potential remaining untapped. Integration of energy storage across different time scales\, and adapting the grid to serve emerging loads like hydrogen production\, AI computing\, and electric vehicles can help to address this issue and accelerate China’s path to carbon neutrality. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:China-North Korea Dynamics: Is Their Bond Eroding as North Korea Draws Closer to Russia?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Seong-Hyon Lee\, Associate\, Harvard University Asia Center; Former China Director\, Sejong Institute\, SeoulModerator: Andrew S. Erickson\, Professor of Strategy\, China Maritime Studies Institute\, U.S. Naval War College; Visiting Scholar\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University The talk will examine the evolving China-North Korea relationship\, particularly as Pyongyang strengthens its ties with Russia and how this affects Beijing’s strategic calculations. While China and North Korea have experienced periods of diplomatic tension\, their partnership remains resilient\, serving Beijing’s broader objective of counterbalancing U.S. influence in Asia. This relationship enables China to maintain regional stability while compelling the United States to divide its strategic attention across multiple theaters. The discussion will probe how China’s management of its North Korean alliance reflects its larger geopolitical strategy within the context of U.S.-China competition. \n\n\n\nA light lunch will be provided.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Chang-Min Yu — The Use of the Modern and Taiwanese Film History
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Chang-Min Yu\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Alexander Zahlten\, Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk will address a fundamental issue in the writing of film history: how do we articulate the relationship between modernity/modernization and film history without determination? That is to say\, is it possible to formulate this relationship as a germinating condition for film stylistics in which filmmakers can be seen as making meaningful choices? I propose the use of the modern as a means to redress the often-simplified\, unidirectional causality of modernity/modernization in global film historiography. My manuscript-in-progress\, Modernism Disclaimed: Taiwanese Film Historiography Before City of Sadness\, will be an exhibit in thinking along with mid-century Taiwanese intellectuals about the urgency of a modern cinema on the island of Formosa. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Sung Eun Kim - Circumventing the Liberal Order: Protectionism with Chinese Characteristics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sung Eun Kim\, Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science and International Relations\, Korea University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant: Stephen Chaudoin\, Assistant Professor\, Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThis talk will explore how China navigates its position as a rising power within the U.S.-led liberal economic order by employing veiled protectionist measures that align with international rules while advancing its domestic interests. As a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO)\, China faces the challenge of balancing its reputation as a responsible global actor with the need to protect its industries. This talk will examine China’s strategic use of opaque protectionist tools such as media control\, health and safety standards\, and selective regulatory enforcement to promote domestic industry growth while avoiding direct confrontation with global trade institutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

Kralik and Yunli Lou Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations; Harvard College Professor; Director\, Harvar-Yenching Institute  \n\n\n\nIn-person event. RSVP appreciated.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation will look at some of the various ways that activists fighting for change in different parts of Asia have learned from and collaborated with one another during the last century and more. The presenter will draw on work he has done throughout a career that began with a dissertation on Shanghai student protests of the first half of the 1900s\, included a ten-year stint as Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies\, and has recently found him focusing on the ties between twenty-first-century youth movements in Hong Kong and Bangkok. One of his central arguments will be that for over a century repertoires of resistance in Asia have been flowing across not just the divisions between individual countries but also those that scholars often use to draw distinctions between multi-country regions within Asia. Another will be that even in this era of rapid global flows\, even young activists versed in digital media who sometimes draw inspiration from things happening in and symbols associated with lands on the other side of the planet are often especially interested in and influenced by things taking place relatively nearby.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Michael C. Davis — Freedom Undone: The Assault on Liberal Values and Institutions in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Michael Davis\, Global Fellow\, Wilson Center; Senior Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asia Institute; Professor of Law and International Affairs\, O.P. Jindal Global University. Discussant: Dennis Kwok\, Partner\, Elliott Kwok Levine Jaroslaw Neils LLP \n\n\n\nWhat happens when liberal constitutional institutions guaranteeing basic freedoms are undone? Can Freedom survive the loss of separation of powers with the associated legal and political accountability? The Chinese Communist Party\, as a core part of its national security agenda\, has been at the forefront in its disdain for liberal institutions and promoting illiberal alternatives. This disdain placed Hong Kong’s people on the frontlines of the global struggle for freedom. Since its handover from Britain\, the city has felt the brunt of China’s illiberal agenda. In 2019 this took on greater intensity with an aggressive police crackdown on protesters\, quickly followed in 2020 by Beijing’s imposition of a National Security Law\, in 2021 by the imposition of a patriots only electoral system and in 2024 by enactment of local national security legislation. Thousands have been jailed and a city famous for vigorous protests has been silenced. Professor Michael C. Davis\, who taught human rights in the city for decades\, takes us on the constitutional journey of both the city’s vigorous defense of freedom and its repressive undoing—a painful loss for Hong Kong and a lesson for the world. Discussion can be expected to engage the still ongoing crisis in Hong Kong and the implications of the wider liberal/illiberal debate.Open to Harvard ID holders.

SUMMARY:Jim Suk-Fong (Theodora) - Divine Saving in Greek and Chinese Polytheism
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jim Suk-Fong (Theodora)\, Associate Professor\, Ancient Greek History\, The University of Nottingham; HYI Library Research Scholar\, 2024Chair/Discussant: Michael Puett\, Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology; Director\, Asia Center\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nContrary to the tendency to study ancient Mediterranean religions in isolation from religions in the Far East\, this project brings together for the first time two world polytheistic systems: ancient Greece and premodern China. It embraces Marcel Detienne’s call to ‘compare the incomparable’. In this seminar I will share the findings on one aspect of this project: divine saving. The central question is: how did worshippers in two major polytheistic traditions imagine\, experience\, and represent the divine saving as they confronted the unknown and unknowable? I will look at the wide-ranging power of the gods in the Greek and Chinese pantheons on the one hand\, and worshippers’ religious beliefs\, practices and experience of worshippers on the other. I hope also to shed light on the Greek and Chinese religious worldviews and perceptions of their gods\, and ultimately to open up new questions for the study of both fields. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Zhang Jing — A Modernization Marching to Revolution: Science\, Technology\, and Diplomacy in Mao’s China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zhang Jing\, Associate Professor\, Department of History\, Peking University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2024-25Chair/Discussant\, Arunabh Ghosh\, Associate Professor of History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nAs a set of terms\, “modernization” and its earlier discursive forms\, such as “industrialization” and “Westernization\,” have been continuously invoked by historical actors and historians throughout over a century of Chinese history\, particularly during different historical stages such as the armed revolution\, socialist revolution and construction\, and the reform and opening up under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This discursive phenomenon runs through various events in China’s recent century-long history\, all referred to as “revolutions.” These include a series of continuous struggles led by the CCP against “colonialism\,” “imperialism\,” “feudalism\,” “capitalism\,” “bureaucratism\,” and “liberalism.” The invocation of the term “modernization” by CCP leaders often served as a goal for the revolution to achieve or as a vision of construction after revolutionary success\, aimed at rallying and inspiring revolutionary actions. The only notable exception largely occurred between 1966 and 1975. The modernization project initiated by Mao Zedong during the socialist revolution (1949-1956)\, which underwent a decade of exploration in socialist construction (1956-1966)\, ultimately devolved into the self-destructive and chaotic “Cultural Revolution” in 1966. To address the issue of this “modernization paradox” in the Maoist era\, Professor Zhang will attempt to establish an interpretive framework from the perspective of discursive practice and state-building. Through a critical analysis of the relationship between discourse\, knowledge\, and power\, she will examine the participation of discourse in state-building practices in the fields of science\, technology\, and diplomacy during the Maoist period. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Karine Chemla - Historiography and History of Mathematical Symbolism: A View from Chinese Sources
DESCRIPTION:Register for Zoom session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:  Karine Chemla\, Director of Research\, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique \n\n\n\nThe common historiography of mathematical symbolism holds that it is a “European invention.” This view has been disputed based on Arabic\, Sanskrit and Chinese sources. These challenges to the mainstream historiography\, however\, tacitly accept the common understanding of what mathematical symbolism means. In this talk\, I question how we commonly conceive of mathematical symbolism\, suggesting that this conception was essential to the claim of its “Europeanness.” I further argue that sources from the ancient world help us understand mathematical symbolism better\, showing that it has a much longer and more global history than previously thought. \n\n\n\nPart of the Science and Technology in Asia series.
