SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Ji Li - How Rising Geopolitical Tensions are Impacting Chinese Firms Overseas
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ji Li\, John & Marilyn Long Professor of US-China Business and Law\, University of California – Irvine \n\n\n\nRising geopolitical tensions have significantly amplified the risk of international trade and investment for Chinese firms. How do they cope with it? What is the role of law? How do their coping strategies implicate US-China relations? These important questions have received little academic attention. To narrow the gap\, Ji Li conducted multi-year surveys of Chinese companies operating in the US\, about 180 interviews with business and legal professionals\, and archival research involving numerous legal documents. The study found a theoretically and empirically nuanced picture featuring firm-level variations based on multiple factors such as ownership structure and cultural differences. Notably\, the coping strategies\, especially legal strategies\, adopted by Chinese firms have lasting impacts on both US law and US-China relations.  \n\n\n\nProfessor Li joined UCI Law in July 2019 as the John S. and Marilyn Long Professor of U.S.-China Business and Law. Prior to the appointment\, he was Professor of Law and Zhuang Zhou scholar at Rutgers University and a member of the Associate Faculty of the Division of Global Affairs. \n\n\n\nProfessor Li received a Ph.D. in political science from Northwestern University and a J.D. from Yale Law School where he was an Olin Fellow in Law\, Economics and Public Policy. After law school\, he practiced corporate and tax law for several years in the New York office of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. \n\n\n\nProfessor Li’s teaching and scholarship explores a broad range of topics including Chinese law and politics\, international business transactions\, contracts\, comparative law\, and empirical legal studies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Meg Rithmire - Can the Chinese Financial System be Effective?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren McFarlan Associate Professor of Business Administration\, Harvard Business SchoolModerator: Daniel Koss\, Associate Senior Lecturer on East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nThe last 25 years have been turbulent ones for the PRC’s financial system. Efforts at liberalization in the early 2000s accelerated early in Xi Jinping’s tenure\, only to be met with a stock market crisis in 2015\, a crackdown on official and private sector market participants\, and then a serious reconfiguration of financial system governance. Now China appears on the verge of another stock market crisis. To transition from export and investment-driven growth to domestic consumption and innovation requires a modern financial system\, but modern financial systems do not tend to thrive under authoritarian rule. Is it possible for the CCP to develop deep financial markets? What do financial developments in China mean for its growth trajectory and its role as international financier? \n\n\n\nMeg Rithmire (任美格) is an associate professor in the Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, where she teaches the course of the same name in the MBA required curriculum. Professor Rithmire holds a Ph.D. in Government from Harvard University\, and her primary expertise is in the comparative political economy of development with a focus on China. Her first book\, Land Bargains and Chinese Capitalism (Cambridge University Press\, 2015)\, examines the role of land politics\, urban governments\, and local property rights regimes in the Chinese economic reforms. A new project investigates the influence of diasporas\, and the overseas Chinese communities in particular\, in the progress of economic and political reforms in the homeland. She is a faculty associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard. In 2015\, she won the Faculty Teaching Award in the Required Curriculum at Harvard Business School. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Minxin Pei - Surveillance in a Leninist Party-State: Understanding China’s Preventive Repression
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Minxin Pei\, Tom and Margot Pritzker ’72 Professor of Government and George R. Roberts Fellow\, Claremont McKenna College \n\n\n\nChina’s surveillance state has attracted much attention in the media\, but there is little serious research on its organization\, scope\, and operational tactics.  Evidence gathered from hundreds of local yearbooks and police gazettes shows that the backbone of China’s surveillance state is an extensive network of informants and labor-intensive surveillance tactics which are made possible and run effectively by the Party’s Leninist organizational structure.  The adoption of hi-tech surveillance came relatively late – probably around 2010.  The Chinese Leninist party-state has the organizational capacity unmatched by other forms of dictatorship in building and maintaining an extensive and labor-intensive network of surveillance to implement preventive repression against potential threats.  Hi-tech capabilities strengthen such surveillance\, but do not and cannot substitute the underlying organizational structure.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
