DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yao Yang\, Dean\, National School of Development at Peking University \n\n\n\nForty years of reform and opening up have resulted in rapid growth and rising living standards for many Chinese\, but also left a series of dire consequences.  Professor YAO Yang\, Dean of the National School of Development at Peking University\, explains how the economic agenda of President Xi Jinping is intended to address and reverse some of these consequences.  While these measures may suppress the economy and trigger a near-term slowdown\, the hope is that if such measures succeed\, the Chinese economy will emerge healthier\, more equitable\, and more innovative.   \n\n\n\nAlso available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Isaac Kardon - China's Maritime Power and the Law of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: China’s New Maritime “Rules” in Asia Could Lead to Conflict \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Isaac Kardon\, Senior Fellow\, Asia Program\, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace \n\n\n\nDiscussant: Takuhiro Ikeda\, Senior Fellow\, Harvard University Asia Center; Former Vice Admiral\, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force \n\n\n\nWho makes “the rules” of international order? The international law of the sea is one of the oldest and most significant bodies of rules governing international relations — and also one of the most hotly contested. China’s maritime disputes are a crucible for the emerging international order of the 21st century. In these disputes\, China is at odds with all of its regional neighbors over how the law of the sea should govern boundaries\, resources\, and dispute resolution. At the strategic level\, disputes over navigational rules engage the United States and its allies and their interest in navigation on\, above\, and below the contested waters of East Asia. China’s claimed maritime rights and interests offer unique insights into China’s emerging vision for international rules\, the role of state sovereignty in the international order\, and the future of great power competition in the oceans and beyond. \n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Harvard University Asia Center and the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations\, Weatherhead Center For International Affairs \n\n\n\nAlso via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Zak Dychtwald - What Do China’s Youth Want?
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Zak Dychtwald\, Founder and CEO\, Young China Group \n\n\n\nThere is enormous discussion of China’s hundreds of millions of young people.  Consumer\, competitor\, collaborator\, and most recently political participant – this young generation will define China’s role on the world stage in the decades to come.  They have grown up with enormous economic progress\, relatively free everyday life\, and the intensive focus of the world’s brands as the leading growth consumer. They have also faced relentless pressure—to get into the right school\, to make money\, to please their parents. \n\n\n\nOn the tail end of three years of COVID measures\, three decades of a speeding economy is beginning to slow\, job markets are stagnating\, and some are choosing to “lie flat\,” 躺平， essentially opting out of the rat race. \n\n\n\nHow resilient is the younger generation to a slowing economy that no longer offers instant opportunity? And do the White Paper protests suggest they want more\, in terms of freedom and their relationship with the government? \n\n\n\nZak Dychtwald is the author of critically acclaimed Young China: How the Restless Generation Will Change Their Country and the World and founder of market insights firm\, Young China Group. A fluent mandarin speaker with a decade in China\, Dychtwald’s goal is to bring a people-first approach to China and understand how evolving youth identity drives economic and political outcomes.  \n\n\n\nAlso available on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Austin Strange - China’s Overseas Infrastructure: Bumps Along the Road to Global Influence?
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Austin Strange\, Assistant Professor of International Relations\, Department of Politics and Public Administration\, University of Hong Kong \n\n\n\nInfrastructure is at the heart of China’s growing\, controversial presence in global development. In addition to economic considerations\, infrastructure projects are important cogs in China’s pursuit of international influence. But do overseas infrastructure projects actually serve as effective influence tools for China? Examining a new dataset of 20th-century Chinese-financed projects along with new evidence on Chinese development finance since 2000\, we find that these projects have created mechanisms of influence as well as a source of risk for China and host countries. As a result\, contemporary Chinese global infrastructure has injected major uncertainty into China’s pursuit of international influence. Given questions about the Belt and Road Initiative\, what will China’s future global infrastructure look like? \n\n\n\nAlso presented on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Ma Jun - Can China Meet its Green Targets?
DESCRIPTION:Register for zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Ma Jun\, Director\, Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)Moderator: Daniel Schrag\, Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology\, Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard University Center for the Environment \n\n\n\n***PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME*** \n\n\n\nPresident Xi Jinping has sought to make the environment part of his lasting legacy. Since 2012\, China has drastically improved air pollution and developed a world-leading clean energy industry. In 2020\, Xi made a historic climate commitment\, setting a target for net-zero emissions by 2060. But with a stagnant economy\, Xi’s vision for phasing out fossil fuels is looking harder and harder to realize. How are industry leaders and officials at all levels coping with environmental challenges in the face of shrinking profits? Can China continue to lead the world\, or will the green dreams be deferred? \n\n\n\nMa Jun is one of China’s most influential environmentalists. As director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE)\, he developed the China Water Pollution Map\, the first public database of water pollution information in China\, and works with private and state-sector industry to help them improve their environmental performance. \n\n\n\nMa also serves as environmental consultant for the Sinosphere Corporation. In the 1990s Ma became known as an investigative journalist\, working at the South China Morning Post from 1993 to 2000. There\, he began to specialize in articles on environmental subjects.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Margaret Pearson - China’s Overseas Economic Push: Influence or Backlash
DESCRIPTION:Register for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Why the Narrative on China’s Rising Overseas Economic Influence Might be Inaccurate \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Margaret Pearson\, Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park \n\n\n\nModerator: Meg Rithmire\, F. Warren MacFarlan Associate Professor in the Business\, Government\, and International Economy Unit\, Harvard Business School. \n\n\n\nAs China’s economic activities expand abroad\, the consequences are controversial.  When do China’s economic contributions influence countries to align more closely with Beijing?  When do they generate political backlash and reduce Chinese influence?  What remains unknown?  Building off their recent Foreign Affairs article\, Margaret Pearson\, along with co-author and discussant Meg Rithmire\, discuss overseas reactions to Chinese expanding economic reach and the new China shock. \n\n\n\nMargaret Pearson is the Dr. Horace E. and Wilma V. Harrison Distinguished Professor\, and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher in the Department of Government and Politics\, University of Maryland\, College Park. Pearson’s research on China’s domestic politics focuses on state control of the economy\, central-local bureaucratic relations\, and environmental policy. On Chinese foreign policy\, Pearson’s ongoing projects focus on conceptualizations of and reactions to China’s overseas economic activities\, determinants of Beijing’s behavior in global institutions\, and climate change governance. She teaches courses on Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy\, and on comparative politics. She has held a Fulbright Research Fellowship at Beijing University. \n\n\n\nPearson received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University and was an Associate Professor with tenure at Dartmouth College before moving to UMCP in 1996. Her books include China’s Strategic Multilateralism: Investing in Global Governance (with Scott Kastner and Chad Rector\, Cambridge University Press\, 2019)\, China’s New Business Elite: The Political Results of Economic Reform (University of California Press\, 1997)\, and Joint Ventures in the People’s Republic of China (Princeton University Press\, 1991).

Boas Chair of International Economics\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nIn Conversation With:Yuanchen Yang\, Economist in the Macro-Policy Division of the Strategy\, Policy\, and Review Department\, International Monetary Fund\, andDavid Yang\, Assistant Professor of Economics\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nKenneth Rogoff is Maurits C. Boas Chair of International Economics at Harvard University. From 2001–2003\, Rogoff served as Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund. His widely-cited 2009 book with Carmen Reinhart\, This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly\, shows the remarkable quantitative similarities across time and countries in the run-up and the aftermath of severe financial crises. Rogoff is also known for his seminal work on exchange rates and on central bank independence. Together with Maurice Obstfeld\, he is co-author of Foundations of International Macroeconomics\, a treatise that has also become a widely-used graduate text in the field worldwide. Rogoff’s 2016 book The Curse of Cash looks at the past\, present and future of currency from standardized coinage to crypto-currencies. The book argues that although much of modern macroeconomics abstracts from the nature of currency\, it is in fact lies at the heart of some of the most fundamental problems in monetary policy and public finance. His monthly syndicated column on global economic issues is published in over 50 countries. \n\n\n\nThis event also available on Zoom.

DESCRIPTION:Register now for hybrid zoom attendance\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead our blog post on the event: Is ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda? Five Unintended Consequences \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yanzhong Huang\, Professor and Director\, Center for Global Health Studies\, Seton Hall University \n\n\n\nChina’s zero-Covid policy\, while shielding the country from Covid-19 and facilitating state control over society\, also has compounded\, even undermined its ability to cope with other domestic challenges by generating unintended\, and often undesirable outcomes in Chinese society.  The downstream impacts or unintended consequences include but are not limited to: 1) economic slowdown and rising youth unemployment rate; 2) the reduced desires of young couples to form families and reproduce; 3) increased mental health issues; 4) ) growing non-communicable disease burden; and 5) setback for the healthcare reform. In the meantime\, singled-minded pursuit of zero-Covid has stretched thin bureaucratic and fiscal capacity\, highlighting and exacerbating the inadequacy of the state capacity in addressing the growing domestic challenges.    \n\n\n\nIs ‘Zero-COVID’ Crippling Xi Jinping’s Domestic Agenda?

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Christopher Carothers - When Autocrats Clean House: Xi Jinping’s Anti-Corruption Campaign and Its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christopher Carothers\, Post-doctoral Fellow\, Center for the Study of Contemporary China\, University of PennsylvaniaModerator: Nara Dillon\, Senior Lecturer on Government\, Harvard University \nCorruption is rampant in many authoritarian regimes\, leading to the widespread perception that autocrats have little incentive or ability to curb government wrongdoing. Yet meaningful anti-corruption efforts by nondemocratic governments are more common and more often successful than is widely assumed. In this talk\, Carothers draws on extensive documentary research to argue that Xi Jinping’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign in China\, despite its limitations\, has been effective at curbing bribery\, embezzlement\, and other illicit practices since 2012. Moreover\, although corruption control is often thought to rely on democratic or quasi-democratic institutions constraining power\, Xi’s campaign has succeeded through a top-down\, authoritarian approach. The outcomes of this signature Xi policy\, Carothers explains\, hold broader implications for our thinking about China’s future direction. This talk is based on Carothers’ book Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes: Lessons From East Asia\, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. \nChristopher Carothers is a political scientist conducting research on authoritarian politics with a regional focus on China and East Asia. He is the author of Corruption Control in Authoritarian Regimes: Lessons from East Asia\, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in 2022. His research has also been published in Perspectives on Politics\, the Journal of Democracy\, the Journal of East Asian Studies\, the Journal of Contemporary China\, Politics and Society\, Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, and other leading publications. Dr. Carothers received his PhD in Government from Harvard University in 2019 and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for the Study of Contemporary China. \nPresented via Zoom Webinar \nAlso streaming on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Iza Ding - The Performative State: Public Scrutiny and Environmental Governance in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Iza (Yue) Ding\, Assistant Professor of Political Science\, University of Pittsburgh\nModerator: Michael Szonyi\, Frank Wen-Hsiung Wu Memorial Professor of Chinese History and Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nWhat does the state do when public expectations exceed its governing capacity? The Performative State shows how the state can shape public perceptions and defuse crises through the theatrical deployment of language\, symbols\, and gestures of good governance—performative governance. Iza Ding unpacks the black box of street-level bureaucracy in China through ethnographic participation\, in-depth interviews\, and public opinion surveys. She demonstrates with vivid detail how China’s environmental bureaucrats deal with intense public scrutiny over pollution when they lack the authority to actually improve the physical environment. Bureaucrats assuage public outrage by appearing responsive and benevolent before citizens. But performative governance is hard work. Environmental bureaucrats paradoxically work themselves to exhaustion even when they cannot effectively implement environmental policies. Instead of achieving “performance legitimacy” through actual good governance and its desirable outcomes\, the state can shape public opinion with theatrical performance of goodwill and sincere effort. The book also explains why performative governance sometimes fails at impressing its audience\, and when governance becomes less performative and more substantive.   \nIza Ding is an assistant professor of political science and public policy at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research examines two interconnected issues that are becoming more challenging and consequential than ever: environmental and climate politics and policy\, and the politics of autocracy and democracy. Her articles have appeared in World Politics\, Comparative Political Studies\, Democratization\, Studies in Comparative and International Development\, and China Quarterly. Her book The Performative State: Public Scrutiny and Environmental Governance in China is forthcoming with Cornell University Press in summer 2022.  \nPresented via Zoom webinar\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1knAizOSR-ih45-cmS5-rQ \nAlso streaming on YouTube
