While significant reforms did take place\, scholars soon pointed to the emergence of a Chinese “state capitalism”. Why did the expansion of market-oriented institutions after WTO entry fail to constrain the subsequent rise of more interventionist developmental policies? What explains the timing of these non-linear policy trajectories? This analysis disaggregates the Chinese central state and unpacks the divergent strategies adopted by competing agencies in response to WTO entry. \nYeling Tan\, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon\, will explain why the timing of this divergence turns on the durability of WTO commitments and the political relationship between China’s party and its state. She will argue that what emerged was an intensified dualism in Chinese economic governance\, with intensified market competition promoted by one set of central agencies\, yet a more consolidated industrial policy promoted by rival agencies. Tony Saich\, Ash Center Director and Daweoo Professor of International Affairs\, will moderate. \nLunch will be served. This event is open to the public\, but seating is first come\, first served. We recommend that you arrive 10-15 minutes early to grab your lunch and a seat. Discussion will begin promptly at noon.  URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/yeling-tan-disaggregating-china-inc-explaining-the-rise-of-chinese-state-capitalism/ LOCATION:Starr Auditorium\, Belfer Building\, Floor 2.5\, Harvard Kennedy School\, 79 JFK St.\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Events of Interest END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190403T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190403T210000 DTSTAMP:20260630T234620 CREATED:20190318T195143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190318T195143Z UID:8007-1554314400-1554325200@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Symposium - Tale of Three Cities: Urban Regeneration Through Design and Cultural Innovation DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nYuan Qian\, Director\, Vanke Urban Research Institute\nLemin Zhang\, Xiamen University.\nRuoxi Zhang\, Xiamen University.\nNeill Mclean Gaddes\, Principal\, Sans Practice\nJames Shen\, Principal\, People’s Architecture Office\, Harvard Loeb Fellow 2018\, Research Fellow – Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies \nIn four decades China’s urban population has exploded\, tripling to 58% of its total population. In compari-son to Europe at 74% and North America at 82%\, China has ample room to further urbanize. However\, the unfettered horizontal expansion of cities and the resulting over speculation and urban sprawl has led to severe environmental and social concerns. \nRecognizing this challenge\, President Xi stated at the19th National Congress of the Communist Party that the new urbanization plan will be “people centered” rather than land-driven. The 13th Five-Year plan he referred to\, set a goal to regenerate 20 million residences in shantytowns\, indicating a refocusing of urban development towards distressed locations and upgrading existing urban fabric. \nUrban Regeneration sites such as urban villages and historic districts are typically located near city cen-ters\, making it difficult to employ common tabula rasa urban renewal practices. Confronting dense urban areas with multiple stake holders and unique building and site conditions requires inventive approaches\, multi-disciplinary collaboration\, and public and private partnerships in order to gather the resources needed to tackle such projects. \nThis symposium brings together leading urban practitioners to discuss urban regeneration projects in Da-shilar Beijing\, Hubei in Shenzhen\, and Shapowei in Xiamen. In each case\, Art and Design has played a crucial role through their history of development. This symposium aims to provide a forum for the ex-change of ideas and lessons learned from successes and failures in regard to the actual experience of implementing of innovative urban regeneration strategies.

She was sent to the countryside after high school and worked under the most famous Barefoot Doctor in China\, Lee Sun\, who was praised by Mao and whose stories were in the official newspapers and school text books. In her talk\, Julie will discuss poverty\, medical care\, as well as her experiences living in the countryside under Mao\, using her own photo archive. The audience will have an opportunity to travel back in time and reflect on China’s primary care system from a historical perspective.

DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nJonathan Brookfield\, Tufts University\nYasheng Huang\, MIT\nPhilippe LeCorre\, Harvard Kenned School \nThe trade and investment ties between the European Union (EU) and China run very deep. The EU is China’s biggest trading partner\, and China is the EU’s second biggest. Yet\, European concerns over a lack of transparency\, protection of intellectual property rights\, and strong government intervention\, have cast the relationship in doubt. At the same time\, China’s recent investments in Europe and its One Belt\, One Road Initiative\, are seen by many Europeans as potential attempts by Beijing to spread its political influence across the European continent\, which provoked combative reactions. However\, the relationship needs not be one characterized by antagonism and suspicion. The speakers will present the current trade and investment relations between the EU and China. In addition\, they will discuss the potential and opportunities for increased cooperation\, as well as potential threats and negative effects of heightened competition\, which a misguided approach towards trade and investment may provoke. \nhttps://ces.fas.harvard.edu/events/2019/04/trade-and-investment-eu-and-china URL:https://fairbank.fas.harvard.edu/events/eu-china-trade-and-investment-relations-a-vehicle-for-cooperation-or-a-path-to-competition/ LOCATION:Adolphus Busch Hall\, 27 Kirkland St.\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Events of Interest END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190416T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190416T163000 DTSTAMP:20260630T234620 CREATED:20190404T193300Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190404T193300Z UID:8054-1555425000-1555432200@fairbank.fas.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - China and the Middle East in the 21st Century DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nEzra F.

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Paul Clifford\, Ash Center Nonresident Senior Fellow\nModerator: Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director and Daewoo Professor of International Affairs \nChina has come a long way from relying on imports to support its telecommunications sector. Today\, telecommunications companies in China not only fulfill that nation’s growing needs but have a global reach. In this context\, how should we understand the stunning and controversial emergence of China’s leading technology firm\, Huawei Technologies? To what extent has Huawei’s rise been due to its leadership\, strategy\, corporate culture and ability to innovate? How much of this success as a “national champion” has been driven by the Chinese Party-State’s industrial policy and support?

In its aftermath\, new groups of intellectuals emerged from grassroots society\, devoted to constituting alternative forms of knowledge outside the academy: amateur historians researching the Mao era\, amateur ethnographers using documentary films to investigate social issues\, grassroots lawyers working with disenfranchised groups to build rights-awareness\, and citizen bloggers and journalists challenging the state control of the public sphere. Although these groups have come under increasing pressure since 2012\, their ideas continue to inspire new dynamics in China’s society today. \nSebastian Veg is a Professor (directeur d’études) of intellectual history and literature of 20th century China at the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS)\, Paris and an Honorary Professor at the University of Hong Kong. He has written on Chinese intellectuals from May Fourth to the present\, the memory of the Mao era\, and the democracy movement in Hong Kong.
