Transcript of Director Michael Szonyi’s Opening Remarks, May 8, 2019
Welcome to the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. My name’s Michael Szonyi. I am the director of the Fairbank Center and it is my privilege to introduce today’s session marking 30 years since the extraordinary events of May and June of 1989.
While we have called today’s session “Tiananmen at 30,” these events occurred not just at Tiananmen Square or even just in Beijing, but in cities all over China. These events culminated, as we all know, on June 4th, 1989 in a act of military suppression that took place not only, or even primarily in the square itself, but throughout the city and beyond.
Anyone could have predicted that this year, 2019, would be a sensitive year for anniversaries in China. As Jiayang Fan wrote in The New Yorker this week, for the CCP, “certain anniversaries teeter between the emblematic and the problematic.” As things have unfolded, the year proved far more sensitive for far more anniversaries than we had anticipated. Problematic definitely outweighed emblematic.
Besides the 40th anniversary of the establishment of US-China relations, and the 40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, here at the Fairbank Center we’ve held events including a commemoration of 40 years of reform and opening up which we co-hosted and co-organized with the Unirule Institute of Economic. That event, we believe, proved to be one of the very last, if not the very last, public event for that very influential liberal think tank in China. We similarly commemorated the centenary of the May 4th Movement with a two-day conference organized by Professor David Wang. Some of you, like me, were at that conference and I think many of us who attended that conference were discouraged that, as one of our guests, Jeff Wasserstrom, pointed out in his long New York Times op-ed, a century after May 4th, a free and open discussion of that event and its significance remains impossible in China.
As with May 4th, so too June 4th. But even in a year of sensitive anniversaries, there’s something distinctive about the event we commemorate today, because of course there are no public commemorations at all of this event all in China. This is an event that can only be spoken of outside of China.
The Fairbank Center at Harvard is home for China studies in all forms, even, and in some ways especially when the topic is sensitive. We value our commitment to intellectual freedom to pursue questions and research that others might want us to avoid. It’s our responsibility to hold events such as today’s, both as an academic endeavor in the face of official suppression in China and as a mark of respect to those whose lives were taken or scarred by the events 30 years ago. The importance of our discussions on the CCP’s relationship with the Chinese citizenry is only elevated by the context of other human rights crises that are unfolding in China today, in particular the current crisis in Xinjiang, and this reinforces the importance of our persistent pursuit of truth in the face of repression.

Conference - Interpreting Energy Dependence in Eurasia
2019-05-09 08:00 - 2019-05-11 07:59 | CGIS South S020, Belfer Case Study Room, 1730 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Energy dependence is the leitmotif of Eurasian political economy. The concept recurs in official speeches and is often invoked to imply a threat. The higher the level of dependence on hydrocarbon imports, especially oil and natural gas, the higher the energy security risk. This stems usually from political instability in hydrocarbon-producing countries, concerns about price volatility, the fact that some state-owned oil companies are hand-in-glove with authoritarian regimes, or increased carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels, which contribute to global warming. More than anywhere else, member states and associated member states of the International Energy Agency have sought to make sustainable development (including further development of domestic resources) and energy security a top priority. It is perceived as a means towards decreasing dependence. It turns out that the interests of consuming and producing countries are, however, more and more divergent, and finding common ground is challenging, although increasingly important.

Rawi Abdelal, Herbert F. Johnson Professor of International Management, Harvard Business School; Director, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies

Exhibition Reception - Calligraphy • China Gene : Ronghua Jing
2019-05-11 14:00 - 16:00 | Gutman Library, 6 Appian Way, Camrbidge, MA, 02138, United States
“One brush reveals all” is the secret of calligraphy and the key of decoding aesthetics of traditional Chinese art. This exhibition consists of ten calligraphies and ten Chinese paintings, including Chinese landscape paintings and Chinese bird paintings. The connotation of Twin Ten, 十全十美 (Ten in Whole, Ten in Beauty) implies perfection in Chinese culture. In the art of calligraphies, it tells a calligrapher’s life story, calligraphy note, and the journey of calligraphy study and practice.
Ronghua Jing selects several poetries of Tang Dynasty poets, including his favorite, Dufu (杜甫) , and shows his friendship with Reedstone. In the art of Chinese landscape paintings, Professor Jing expresses his love for nature and China, especially Changjiang River and Yellow Mountain. As an erudite history professor, he has insight on the philosophy of Yin-Yang and which he creates through brush pen.

Exhibition - Fire Dream: Zhao Meng and the Reinvention of the Clay Medium

Exploring the myriad material possibilities of clay, Zhao pushes the boundaries of the medium while reworking traditional forms. A closing reception and panel discussion will feature artists and scholars Brad Miller, Jeffrey Moser, Sun Ren, Eugene Y. Wang, and Nigel Wood.
Closing Event: Friday, October 25, 2019 | 4:00 – 6:00 PM

Wilt L. Idema - A Second Look at the Precious Scroll of the Red Gauze (Hongluo Baojuan 紅羅寶卷): Some Considerations on the Development of the Genre
2019-09-09 16:30 - 18:30 | CGIS South S020, Belfer Case Study Room, 1730 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA, 02138, United States
Speaker: Wilt L. Idema, Professor of Chinese Literature Emeritus, Harvard University

When the Precious Scroll of the Red Gauze was first introduced to the academic world, it was presented as the earliest work in the genre, as its edition was believed to date from the Yuan dynasty (1260-1368). By now it is acknowledged that this edition only dates from the sixteenth century. Both the contents of the story and the printing of the text, however, may well deserve a second look as they lead to intriguing questions about the origins of the genre and its early use.

Wang Anshi’s New Policies included hotly debated military reforms, but little is known about how the new military system functioned in different regions. The Khara-Khoto manuscripts discovered in the early 20th century allow us to explore how military reforms transformed territorial administration in Shaanxi from their initial introduction in the 1070s into the 1120s.

Speaker: Philippe Le Corre, Research Associate, HKS Ash Center
Moderator: Tony Saich, Ash Center Director, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs
When China started promoting its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013, Europe was always going to be a key destination for both the “Belt” and the “Maritime Road” with an open goal of targeting the European consumer market. While Beijing has tried to promote its initiative across Europe, the BRI concept remains unclear to a lot of Europeans. In addition, it has been hard to differentiate between Chinese foreign direct investments (with a total amount of EUR 17.3 billion in 2018, mainly in the UK, Germany and France) and BRI-related projects, which have been scarce in the European Union – although the situation is quite different in the Balkans just outside the EU. Meanwhile, the EU has launched its own connectivity strategy, which makes Chinese objectives of offering to build infrastructures to European countries ever more challenging.
Lunch will be served.

About Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation
“This book tells a story of Taiwan’s transformation from an authoritarian regime to a democratic system where human rights are protected as required by international human rights treaties. There were difficult times for human rights protection during the martial law era; however, there has also been remarkable transformation progress in human rights protection thereafter. The book reflects the transformation in Taiwan and elaborates whether or not it is facilitated or hampered by its Confucian tradition. There are a number of institutional arrangements, including the Constitutional Court, the Control Yuan, and the yet-to-be-created National Human Rights Commission, which could play or have already played certain key roles in human rights protections. Taiwan’s voluntarily acceptance of human rights treaties through its implementation legislation and through the Constitutional Court’s introduction of such treaties into its constitutional interpretation are also fully expounded in the book. Taiwan’s NGOs are very active and have played critical roles in enhancing human rights practices. In the areas of civil and political rights, difficult human rights issues concerning the death penalty remain unresolved. But regarding the rights and freedoms in the spheres of personal liberty, expression, privacy, and fair trial (including lay participation in criminal trials), there are in-depth discussions on the respective developments in Taiwan that readers will find interesting. In the areas of economic, social, and cultural rights, the focuses of the book are on the achievements as well as the problems in the realization of the rights to health, a clean environment, adequate housing, and food. The protections of vulnerable groups, including indigenous people, women, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) individuals, the disabled, and foreigners in Taiwan, are also the areas where Taiwan has made recognizable achievements, but still encounters problems. The comprehensive coverage of this book should be able to give readers a well-rounded picture of Taiwan’s human rights performance. Readers will find appealing the story of the effort to achieve high standards of human rights protection in a jurisdiction barred from joining international human rights conventions.” — Springer

Barry Bloom, Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson Research Professor of Public Health
William Hsiao, K.T. Li Research Professor of Economics
Hong Wang, Senior Program Officer, Gates Foundation
In 2009, China launched major health-care reform to provide all citizens with equal access to basic health care with reasonable quality and financial risk protection. The Government quadrupled its funding for health, expanded social insurance for all, and encouraged local governments to conduct pilots to reform their health delivery system. In 10 years, China has made substantial progress in improving equal access to care and enhancing financial protection, especially for people of lower socioeconomic status. However, gaps remain. Professor Yip will be joined by a panel of speakers who will comment on future prospects for China’s health care system and will engage with the audience on lessons to be drawn for other countries aspiring to achieve universal health coverage.
