SUMMARY:China's National Cap-and-Trade Program: the Promise and the Reality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Pu\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Environment and Natural Resources Program\, Harvard Kennedy School. \nChina’s national cap-and-trade program is regarded as a cornerstone of its climate policy outlined in the 13th Five-year plan (2016-2020)\, published right after the 2015 U.N. Climate Conference in Paris. Since China has accounted for two thirds of global emissions growth in the past decade\, its ambition to control carbon emissions could be a great contribution to the global effort in combating climate change. In addition to emission reduction\, China also intends to achieve two other goals through the program: to facilitate economic transition by reducing energy-inefficient industrial sectors and promoting low-carbon industries\, and to mitigate severe air pollution in the urban regions. But the program’s effectiveness is contingent on the right institutional settings at both macro and micro levels. The speaker will review the major challenges for the program in accomplishing the policy goals\, and discuss the efficiency and equity tradeoffs of different allowance allocation methods in the cap-and-trade program.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Mr. Deng Goes to Washington
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Deng Goes to Washington tells the story of Deng Xiaoping’s\, China’s paramount leader\, historic visit to the United States in 1979 that changed the trajectory of world history.  This dramatic story is told through first-hand experiences of those people from both countries who made the normalization of relations possible–politicians\, diplomats\,  and one former U.S. President.  Throughout the trip\, Deng had to face many different audiences and win the approval of the U.S. public and the U.S. Congress.  But in the end\, Deng’s wisdom in opening up a new course\, his determination and sense of humor and the American hosts’ good will and detailed preparations cemented the friendship between the U.S. and China and precipitated China’s meteoric economic rise for the next 36 years. \nDiscussants:\nEzra Vogel\, Henry Ford II Professor of Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus\,  Harvard University\nJan Berris\, Vice-President\, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations\nFu Hongqing\, Director\, Mr. Deng Goes to Washington\nZhou Zhixing\, Chair\, U.S.-China New Perspectives Foundation

SUMMARY:The Mining Industry\, Caravan Transportation and Ethnic Mobilization in southwest China from the 17th to 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Ma Jianxiong (Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Michael Szonyi (Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center) \nHarvard-Yenching Institute Lunchtime Talk \nThis talk will review the history of silver and copper mines on the borderland between Yunnan and Burma\, in particular the social organization of miners in remote mountainous areas. Two types of ethnic mobilization among the Hui and the Lahu will be examined. These two ethnic minorities were mobilized through different channels to politically resist the Qing government in interior counties and exterior chieftains. This was due to the political influence of unemployed miners\, which arose from the decline of borderland silver mines in the early 19th century and local governments’ subsequent failure to manage social mobility as miners shifted their work to agriculture or business. The talk aims to study how cooperative transportation system networks became interwoven by different social actors in cities and mines\, especially caravan muleteers whose mobility in metal transportation and commercial circulations was bound to the development of the mining industry and ethnic politics in southwest China. Different social sections cooperated through mediators such as the caravan muleteers\, silver miners and exiled monks. In general\, this talk will explain the historical reconstruction of borderland society in southwest China\, showing how ethnic mobilization was a social consequence of economic and political transformation resulting from the extension of state governance in mountain areas from the Ming to the Qing. \nhttps://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/mining-industry-caravan-transportation-and-ethnic-mobilization-southwest-china-17th-19th

SUMMARY:Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers\, Western Economists\, and the Making of Global China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julian Gewirtz ’13  \nJulian Gewirtz will discuss his forthcoming book\, Unlikely Partners: Chinese Reformers\, Western Economists\, and the Making of Global China\, which Harvard University Press will publish in January. Writing for the New Yorker\, Evan Osnos summarizes: “The book tells the little-known story of how Chinese intellectuals and leaders\, facing a ruined economy at the end of the Cultural Revolution\, sought the help of foreign economists to rebuild. Between 1976 and 1993\, in a series of exchanges\, conferences\, and collaborations\, Western intellectuals sought not to change China but to help it change itself\, and they made indispensable contributions to China’s rise as a global economic power.”

SUMMARY:The Exile and Diplomacy of the 13th Dalai Lama (1904-1912): Tibet's Encounters with the US and Japan
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Kobayashi Ryosuke (Toyo Bunko; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Leonard van der Kuijp (Harvard University)\n\nHarvard-Yenching Institute Lunch Talk \nThis talk will show how Tibet attempted to participate in the international community around the demise of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 by focusing on its relationships with the US and Japan. The sojourns of the 13th Dalai Lama (1876-1933) to Mongolia\, China and India from 1904 to 1912 were remarkable turning points that led him to reconsider the deteriorating relationship with the Qing dynasty and China and to begin participating in the modern international community. Through encounters with foreign dignitaries from Britain\, Russia\, the US and Japan\, the Dalai Lama\, who had never before been away from Tibet\, developed his understanding of the international community and of Tibet’s position in the world. This talk will discuss how the Dalai Lama conducted his diplomacy with the U.S. and Japan\, two newly influential countries in East Asia at the end of 19th century\, and how those countries dealt with Tibetan issues. \nhttps://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/exile-and-diplomacy-13th-dalai-lama-1904-1912-tibets-encounters-us-and-japan
