SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Bonnie Glaser - How Great is the Risk of War Over Taiwan?
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nThere is an intense debate among experts over the likelihood of a near-term Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Senior US military officers have warned that a PRC military action could take place in the next six years. Such dire predictions are largely based on estimates of PLA capabilities. But even if China can seize and control Taiwan\, will it do so? Assessing the potential for such an attack also requires an understanding of Xi Jinping’s strategy toward Taiwan and his risk/benefit calculus. The policies of the United States and Taiwan\, and how they are viewed in Beijing\, also need to be taken into account. \nSpeaker: Bonnie Glaser\, Director\, Asia Program\, German Marshall Fund of the United States \n\n\nBonnie S. Glaser is director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. She was previously senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Luke Patey\, Senior Researcher\, Danish Institute for International Studies \nAt a time when many are fixated on US-China strategic competition\, how will China’s relations with the rest of the world shape its future power?

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Jessica Chen Weiss - A World Safe for Autocracy: The Domestic Politics of China’s Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jessica Chen Weiss\, Associate Professor of Government\, Cornell University \nHow does China’s domestic governance shape its foreign policy? What role do nationalism and ideology play in Beijing’s regional and global ambitions? The Chinese leadership has been at once a revisionist\, defender\, reformer\, and free-rider in the international system—insisting rigidly on issues that are central to its domestic survival\, while showing flexibility on issues that are more peripheral. To illuminate this variation and prospects for conflict and cooperation\, Weiss will discuss her new book project\, which theorizes and illustrates the domestic-international linkages in Beijing’s approach to issues ranging from sovereignty and homeland disputes to climate change and COVID-19. \nJessica Chen Weiss is Associate Professor of Government at Cornell University. She is the author of Powerful Patriots: Nationalist Protest in China’s Foreign Relations (Oxford University Press\, 2014). The dissertation on which it is based won the 2009 American Political Science Association Award for best dissertation in international relations\, law and politics. \nHer work has appeared or is forthcoming in International Organization\, China Quarterly\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, and Security Studies. Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, Cornell Einaudi Center\, Cornell Center for Social Sciences\, Uppsala University\, Princeton-Harvard China & The World Program\, Bradley Foundation\, Fulbright-Hays program\, and University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. \nBorn and raised in Seattle\, Washington\, Weiss received her Ph.D. from the University of California\, San Diego. Before joining Cornell\, she was an assistant professor at Yale University (2009-2015) and founded FACES\, the Forum for American/Chinese Exchange at Stanford\, while an undergraduate at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Lecture Series featuring David Dollar - China’s Economy Faces Domestic and External Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Dollar\, Senior Fellow\, Foreign Policy\, Global Economy and Development\, John L. Thornton China Center\, Brookings Institution \nChina has gotten COVID-19 under control and is poised to bounce back strongly with 8% growth in 2021.  But in the medium term it faces daunting domestic and external challenges. On the domestic side\, demographic shifts will result in a declining labor force and put a premium on geographic mobility\, especially rural-urban migration. Also\, over-reliance on investment has led to an alarming rise in debt to GDP\, risking a financial crisis. To grow well while managing these issues of labor and investment will require more innovation as a source of growth. On the external side\, the trade war with the U.S. is not likely to be resolved quickly with the new Biden administration.  China’s recent agreements with Asian partners and Europe\, however\, provide new opportunities that complement domestic reforms. \nDavid Dollar is a senior fellow in the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution and host of the Brookings trade podcast\, Dollar&Sense. He is a leading expert on China’s economy and U.S.-China economic relations. From 2009 to 2013\, Dollar was the U.S. Treasury’s economic and financial emissary to China\, based in Beijing\, facilitating the macroeconomic and financial policy dialogue between the United States and China. Prior to joining Treasury\, Dollar worked 20 years for the World Bank\, serving as country director for China and Mongolia\, based in Beijing (2004-2009). His other World Bank assignments focused on Asian economies\, including South Korea\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Thailand\, Bangladesh\, and India. Dollar also worked in the World Bank’s research department. His publications focus on economic reform in China\, globalization\, and economic growth. He also taught economics at University of California Los Angeles\, during which time he spent a semester in Beijing at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1986. He has a doctorate in economics from New York University and a bachelor’s in Chinese history and language from Dartmouth College. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Jean Oi - The Political Genesis of Local Government Debt in China
DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Jean Oi\, William Haas Professor of Chinese Politics\, Department of Political Science; Director\, Stanford China Program\, Stanford University \nChina’s rapidly growing local government debt (LGD) is now branded a “grey rhino\,” a known threat that has received little attention.  Why did Beijing let LGD get so out of hand?  What are the sources of LGD?  There is evidence to suggest that no matter how honest and law-abiding local cadres might be\, localities are likely to have local government debt.  Prof. Oi will argue that LGD stems from a grand bargain between the center and the localities that was made to secure support for the 1994 fiscals reforms.  This series of policy decisions institutionalized backdoor financing\, creating a “win-win” solution that recentralized tax revenues to Beijing while countering the downsides of fiscal recentralization for the localities.  The cost\, however\, was that China’s economic growth model was increasingly undergirded by mounting LGD\, with little transparency and control by the center. \nJean C. Oi is the William Haas Professor on Chinese Politics in the department of political science and a Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. She is the founding director of the Stanford China Program at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. Professor Oi also is the founding Lee Shau Kee Director of the Stanford Center at Peking University. \nA PhD in political science from the University of Michigan\, Oi first taught at Lehigh University and later in the department of government at Harvard University before joining the Stanford faculty in 1997. \nHer work focuses on comparative politics\, with special expertise on China’s political economy and institutions in the process of reform. Fiscal politics and central-local relations in China are at the center of Oi’s research. Recent work delves inside local-level institutions to sheds new light on China’s authoritarian resilience by exploring how county governments through adaptive governance have been able to cope as the economy has grown exponentially and demands and needs from an increasingly complex society put more strains on resources and the political system. Most recently\, she co-edited a volume that highlights the challenges China now faces after reaping record breaking growth the last 40 years by only tweaking the institutions that it inherited from the Mao period. Current leaders continue to kick the can down the road rather than tackle the most political difficult part of the reform process. Instead\, leaders seems to be “going back to the future\,” relying on a playbook not seen since the Mao period. \nCurrent projects focus on growing local government debt in China and why there is so much when law prohibits localities from borrowing and budget deficits. Moving beyond her earlier work\, Oi also has begun a project to empirically assess the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Oi takes an institutional and micro-level approach to identify the key players and their interests. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Yuen Yuen Ang - China's Corrupt Meritocracy
DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript for the event here. \nSpeaker: Yuen Yuen Ang\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, University of Michigan \nPortrayals of China’s political economy tend to be divided\, with one side depicting it as a Confucian-style meritocracy\, and the other arguing that the regime is a kleptocracy. In fact\, neither view is correct: in the Chinese officialdom\, competence and corruption can go hand in hand. Drawing on her new book\, China’s Gilded Age (Cambridge University Press\, 2020)\, Ang underscores that paradoxes define China’s political economy. Chinese growth is speedy yet risky and imbalanced. Corrupt officials worship the pursuit of prosperity. China’s regime is authoritarian yet its regions are decentralized and highly competitive. Understanding China requires that we grasp these seeming paradoxes\, which will persist well into the next decade. \nYuen Yuen Ang is the inaugural recipient of the Theda Skocpol Prize\, awarded by the American Political Science Association for “impactful empirical\, theoretical and/or methodological contributions to the study of comparative politics.” She is also named an Andrew Carnegie Fellow for “high-caliber scholarship [on] the most pressing issues of our times.” Her first\, award-winning book\, How China Escaped the Poverty Trap (2016)\, is acclaimed as “game changing” and “field shifting.” The sequel to this book\, China’s Gilded Age: the Paradox of Economic Boom & Vast Corruption\, is released in 2020. She writes for a broad audience in Foreign Affairs and Project Syndicate. Ang is a graduate of Colorado College and Stanford University\, and a Public Intellectual Fellow at the National Committee of US-China Relations. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Andrea Ghiselli - Protecting China's Interests Overseas: Securitization and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNyI34EGR4k \n \nSpeaker: Andrea Ghiselli\, Assistant Professor\, School of International Relations and Public Affairs\, Fudan University\nModerator: Robert Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston College; Fairbank Center Associate \nThe securitization of non-traditional security issues is a scarcely discussed and\, yet\, extremely powerful force that shapes the evolution of Chinese foreign and security policy. The lecture will show how this tortuous process deeply shaped China’s approach to the protection of the life and assets of Chinese nationals overseas\, an aspect of Chinese foreign policy that is already\, and will become increasingly important over time. This became evident as\, especially after the evacuation of 36\,000 Chinese nationals from Libya in 2011\, Chinese institutions evolved and issued new regulations that are also aimed at supporting the possible use of the military overseas. \nDr. Andrea Ghiselli is an assistant professor in the School of International Relations and Public Affairs\, Fudan University. He is also the Head of Research of the ChinaMed Project\, a research project on China’s role in the wider Mediterranean region sponsored by the University of Torino’s TOChina Hub. Andrea’s research interests include Chinese foreign policy\, China-Middle East relations\, and foreign policy analysis. Besides his book Protecting China’s Interests Overseas: Securitization and Foreign Policy published by Oxford University Press\, his research on Chinese foreign policy has been published in peer-reviewed journals like the China Quarterly\, the Journal of Strategic Studies\, the Journal of Contemporary China\, and Armed Forces & Society. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar
