SUMMARY:The Chinese Surveillance Technology Industry and its Reception in African Countries
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bulelani Jili\,  Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili’s research seeks to offer insights into how China’s domestic surveillance market and cyber capability ecosystem operate\, especially given the limited number of systematic studies that have analyzed its industry objectives. For the Chinese government\, investment in surveillance technologies advances both its ambitions of becoming a global technology leader as well as its means of domestic social control. These developments also foster further collaboration between state security actors and private tech firms. Accordingly\, the tech firms that support state cyber capabilities range from small cyber research startups to leading global tech enterprises. The state promotes surveillance technology and practices abroad through diplomatic exchanges\, law enforcement cooperation\, and training programs. These efforts encourage the dissemination of surveillance devices\, but also support the government’s goals concerning international norm-making in multilateral and regional institutions. \n\n\n\nThe proliferation of Chinese surveillance technology and cyber tools and the associated linkages between both state and private Chinese entities with those in other states\, especially in the Global South\, is a valuable component of Chinese state efforts to expand and strengthen their political and economic influence worldwide. Although individual governments purchasing Chinese digital tools have their local ambitions in mind\, Beijing’s export and promotion of domestic surveillance technologies shape the adoption of these tools in the Global South. As such\, investigating how Chinese actors leverage demand factors for their own aims\, does not undercut the ability of other countries to detect and determine outcomes. Rather it demonstrates an interplay between Chinese state strategy and local political environments. In this presentation\, Mr. Jili will focus on key features in China’s surveillance ecosystem\, and touch upon the key ‘pull factors’ from African countries and their significance for US interests. \n\n\n\nBulelani Jili is a Meta Ph.D. Research Fellow at Harvard University\, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in African studies and anthropology. His research interests include Africa-China relations; Cybersecurity; ICT development; African Political Economy; Internet Policy; Chinese Business Law; Law and Development; and Privacy Law. He is also a Cybersecurity Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; a Fellow at the Atlantic Council; a Visiting Fellow at Yale Law School; and is conducting research with the China\, Law\, Development project at Oxford University. Born in Durban\, South Africa\, he received an M.Phil. from Cambridge University\, M.A. in Economics from Peking University\, and B.A.\, in Politics\, Philosophy\, and Economics from Wesleyan University. \n\n\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nSponsored by East Asian Legal Studies. Co-sponsored by the Department of African and African American Studies and the Department of Anthropology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Lung Yingtai - My Life in an Indigenous Village
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lung Yingtai\, Writer\, Former Minister of Culture of TaiwanChair: Elizabeth J. Perry\, Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute; Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University \n\n\n\nSince Lung Yingtai relocated to an indigenous village in eastern Taiwan three years ago\, she sought to comprehend the elements that comprise her life\, including the journey of her daily water supply from the mountain’s depths to her garden pond. Furthermore\, she regularly encounters cobras\, wild boars and crab-eating mongooses\, prompting her to examine the impact of cultural as well as environmental “encroachment” on the wildlife and people residing in the untouched forest. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Lung Yingtai is a writer\, literary critic and public intellectual. Lung not only has a large number of devoted readers in her native Taiwan\, but her works also have great influence in the Chinese-language world in Singapore\, Malaysia\, China\, and North America. Lung entered public service as Taipei City Government’s first minister of culture in 1999 and served as Taiwan’s inaugural Minister of Culture from 2012-2014. She is author of more than two dozen books\, including essays\, fiction\, reportage\, and literary criticism. Her 1985 book\, The Wild Fire\, created a major cultural stir for its honest and introspective look at the social and political problems facing contemporary Taiwan society. Big River\, Big Sea: Untold Stories of 1949\, published in 2009\, became a must-read in greater China despite that it has been banned in China. She was Hung Leung Hao Ling Distinguished Fellow in Humanities at the University of Hong Kong from 2015-2020. \n\n\n\nOrganized by the Harvard-Yenching Institute\, and co-sponsored with the Harvard University Asia Center\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Boston University Center for the Study of Asia \n\n\n\nMore information: https://www.harvard-yenching.org/events/my-life-in-an-indigenous-village/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
