SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring David Zweig — China’s Battle for Talent and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Zweig\, Professor Emeritus\, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; Distinguished Visiting Professor of Taipei School of Economics and Political Science\, National Tsinghua University\, Taiwan; Vice President\, Center for China and Globalization (Beijing) \n\n\n\nIn the mid-1990s\, China’s hope for a “reverse brain drain” of overseas scientists\, academics\, and entrepreneurs stalled. So\, in 2001\, Jiang Zemin introduced China’s ‘Diaspora Option\,’ to encourage PRC-born Chinese living abroad to “serve the country” without “returning to the country.” Through a multipronged array of programs organized by government ministries and the CCP\, these former citizens have transferred their knowledge back home\, some to repay or strengthen their former homeland\, others from self-interest.  \n\n\n\nIn 2018\, the Trump Administration declared war on China’s efforts to access this information through the “China Initiative.” Hundreds of Chinese were investigated\, their research was disrupted\, and more than 100 were fired. Yet almost none were found guilty of espionage or theft of intellectual property. \n\n\n\nThis seminar documents China’s “over-the-top” effort to gain the help of these talented Chinese\, as well as the US government’s harsh effort to disrupt the transfer of US technology to China. It tells the stories of unknown victims of that campaign. It also highlights the harm this war has brought to Sino-American scientific collaboration. \n\n\n\nDavid Zweig (Ph.D.\, The University of Michigan\, 1983) is Professor Emeritus\, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology\, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Taipei School of Economics and Political Science\, National Tsinghua University\, Taiwan\, and Vice-President of the Center for China and Globalization (Beijing). He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard in 1984-85\, and received the Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship\, Research Grants Council\, Hong Kong\, 2013-14. For 15 years\, he directed the Center on China’s Transnational Relations at HKUST. \n\n\n\nHe has surveyed hundreds of Chinese who returned home and many who remain abroad. In 2012\, he briefed Li Yuanchao\, Director of the Organization Department of the CCP\, about why his 1000 Talents Plan was struggling. He was an expert witness in the defense of two Chinese professors under the Trump Administration’s “China Initiative.” \n\n\n\nHe has authored or edited ten books\, including Internationalizing China and China’s Brain Drain to the U.S.(Routledge). Over 40\,000 students have taken his two online classes with COURSERA on domestic Chinese Politics and on China and the World. \n\n\n\nThis talk is based on his new book\, The War for Chinese Talent in America: The politics of technology and knowledge in Sino-U.S. relations which was published in the Asia Shorts Series of the Association of Asian Studies and is distributed by Columbia University Press. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Edward Wong\, Diplomatic Correspondent\, The New York Times Moderator: Mark C. Elliott\, Vice Provost of International Affairs\, Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nFrom the the earliest days of its rule\, the Communist Party poured resources into reconstituting the Qing Empire. Edward Wong talks about his father’s role in the military occupation of Xinjiang in the 1950s\, the subject of his new book\, At the Edge of Empire\, and his own reporting as a New York Times journalist on how China maintains control over its frontier regions. And what does the party’s focus on holding on to the territory of the Qing mean for the intentions of China’s leaders toward Taiwan\, the South China Sea and other areas outside of interior China? \n\n\n\nEdward Wong is a diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times and author of At the Edge of Empire: A Family’s Reckoning with China. He has reported for the Times for 25 years\, working for 13 of those as a correspondent and bureau chief from China and Iraq. Wong was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University and has been a visiting professor at Princeton University and U.C. Berkeley. He was a recent fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington and at the Belfer Center at Harvard Kennedy School. Wong was awarded the Livingston Prize for his reporting on the Iraq War and was on a team that was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the war. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. He has joint master’s degrees in journalism and international studies from U.C. Berkeley. He received an honorary doctorate this year from Middlebury Language Schools. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
