SUMMARY:Philippe Le Corre - China's Belt and Road Initiative: Impact and Perceptions in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Philippe Le Corre\, Research Associate\, HKS Ash Center\nModerator: Tony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs \nWhen 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. \nLunch will be served. \nhttps://ash.harvard.edu/event/chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-impact-and-perceptions-europe

SUMMARY:Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard Law School Library staff invite you to attend a book talk and discussion in celebration of the recent publication of Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation\, edited by Jerome A. Cohen\, William P. Alford & Dr. Chang-fa Lo. \nJerome A. Cohen\, Professor\, NYU School of Law and Faculty Director\, NYU U.S.-Asia Law Institute.\nDr. Chang-fa Lo\, former Grand Justice of the Constitutional Court of the ROC (Taiwan) and former Dean\, National Taiwan University Law School.\nWilliam P. Alford\, Vice Dean for the Graduate Program and International Legal Studies\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law\, Director\, East Asian Legal Studies Program\, and Chair\, Harvard Law School Project on Disability. \nCommentators:\nSteven Goldstein\, Sophia Smith Professor of Government\, Emeritus\, Smith College and Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.\nDr. Yu-Jie Chen\, Academia Sinica (Taiwan).\nDan Zhou\, LL.M. ’16 and SJD candidate\, Harvard Law School. \nAbout Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation\n“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 \n

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Ten Years of Healthcare Reform in China: Progress and Gaps in Universal Health Coverage
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nWinnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of International Health Policy and Economics\nBarry Bloom\, Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson Research Professor of Public Health\nWilliam Hsiao\, K.T. Li Research Professor of Economics\nHong Wang\, Senior Program Officer\, Gates Foundation \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Cobus van Staden - China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Africa: Lessons for Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cobus van Staden\, Senior Researcher on China-Africa relations\, South African Institute of International Affairs. \nBefore the Belt and Road Initiative became the heart of Chinese foreign engagement\, China was already active in Africa. The lessons it learned in building railways\, ports\, and diplomatic networks on the continent helped to shape Beijing’s global rollout of infrastructure and influence. But how has China-Africa engagement\, and the subsequent BRI\, shaped African governance? Where and how does the continent exercise agency in dealing with China? And what lessons can Central Asia learn as it navigates the new landscape shaped by the BRI and China’s rise as a global superpower \n

SUMMARY:Valerie Karplus - China's Climate Policy and Air Quality: From Subnational to Global Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Valerie J. Karplus\, Assistant Professor of Global Economics and Management\, MIT Sloan School of Management \nChina’s future energy mix will have a decisive effect on the world’s ability to meet climate change mitigation goals. This talk will discuss China’s national approach to climate change\, and use a multi-scale modeling approach to analyze the effects of China’s climate pledge on the energy system\, greenhouse gas emissions\, air quality\, and human health. Projected air quality and health co-benefits in Japan\, Korea\, and the U.S. will also be presented. Taken together\, the findings provide a strong case for cooperation among China\, the U.S.\, and other Asian countries to support implementation of China’s climate goals.

SUMMARY:Liu Jingfang - China’s Green Movement: Players\, Style\, and Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Liu Jingfang\, Associate Professor\, School of Journalism\, Fudan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Karen Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature and of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \nWhile China is transforming itself into an economic powerhouse\, it also suffers from dire environmental degradation and crisis. Behind the notorious images of Beijing’s grey sky and smog-obscured landmarks\, frequently portrayed in Western media\, what has been done inside of China trying to change the situation? Who has made efforts and how? This talk gives an introduction of the less-known but growing environmental movement undertaken by diverse players in China over the past two and a half decades. It will examine how the multiple agents and institutions of change interact with each other at different levels\, engage in special coping strategies\, and struggle to activate a green movement of its own style and nature. From a communication perspective\, it will examine\, both empirically and theoretically\, the elements that construct a growing “green public culture” in China and China’s unique path to environmental protection. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/china-s-green-movement-players-style-and-strategy

SUMMARY:International Implications from Contemporary Developments in Chinese Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nHamish Coates\, Professor\, Institute of Education and Director\, Higher Education Division; Deputy Director\, Global Research Center for the Assessment of College and Student Development\, Tsinghua University\nWen Wen\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Education\, Tsinghua University; Deputy Director\, Asian Research Center\, Tsinghua University; Fulbright Scholar (2019-2020)\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nDiscussants:\nManja Klemenčič\, Department of Sociology\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Harvard University\nFrancesca Purcell\, Faculty Director\, Higher Education Program\, Graduate School of Education\, Harvard University \nWhile consequences from the growth of Chinese higher education have already reverberated around the world\, we argue in this seminar that further substantial changes are only just starting to emerge. \nThis seminar begins by showing how changes in Chinese higher education over the last two decades have shaped major developments in other countries. \nNext\, it analyses contemporary developments in Chinese higher education\, building on research being led by Tsinghua University’s Institute of Education which touches on institutional governance and leadership\, the construction of infrastructure\, the changing nature of doctorates and the academic profession\, research goals and strategies\, emerging hybrid forms of teaching\, and the cultivation of students. \nThe seminar’s final contribution is to integrate these analyses and clarify emerging futures. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of education and its contribution to the common good. \nhttps://universities-pastpresentfuture.mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/international-implications-contemporary-developments

SUMMARY:Roger Shih-Chieh Lo - Redemptive Society and Cold War: Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) in Zhejiang\, Fujian\, and Taiwan\, 1949-1978
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Shih-Chieh Lo\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\nChair/discussant: Michael Szonyi\, Harvard University \nThroughout the 20th century\, the two most influential redemptive societies in Chinese local society\, Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) and Yiguangdao (Persistent way) both suffered various level of crackdown from different regimes. From fieldwork and local archives\, however\, it is evident that these two redemptive societies played a very important political role in local society. In this talk of the development of Tongshanshe in Zhejiang\, Fujian and Taiwan during the cold war\, I will discuss the following three questions: first\, what is the significance of this redemptive society in local society during the cold war? Secondly\, besides the suppression of evil cults from the government\, what are the other undisclosed political interactions we can find from these local popular associations and national\, or even international\, politics? Finally\, what kind of new explanation about post-1949 history can be found from this local history study. \nHarvard-Yenching Institute lunch talk

SUMMARY:Faan Chen - Driving and the Built Environment: Is Transit-Oriented Development Effective in Shanghai?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Faan Chen\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, Harvard University \nThe rapid growth of cities such as Shanghai in China has presented many transportation\, land use and climate change challenges for local government officials\, planning and transit practitioners and property developers. These challenges include traffic congestion\, energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global warming. As one of the more visible urban forms of smart growth\, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has been actively promoted as a model for urban development in areas around transit stations to solve such challenges. The vast majority of studies of TOD have been conducted in North American and European cities\, while research of TOD is still in its infancy in most developing countries\, including China\, where residential and transport choices are likely to be more constrained and travel-related attitudes quite different from those in the developed world. Using the data collected from more than 8000 residents living in TOD and non-TOD neighborhoods in the city of Shanghai\, this study aims to partly fill the gaps by investigating the causal relationship between the built environment and travel behavior in the Chinese context\, and specifically to examine whether altering the built environment can actually lead to meaningful changes in travel behavior\, e.g.\, less Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) and GHG emissions. \nSponsored by the Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy\, and Environment\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

SUMMARY:Pan Weilin - Dialectics of Waste: Recycling Campaigns in Socialist China\, 1949-1978
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Pan Weilin\, Assistant Professor\, Institute of China Studies\, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Elizabeth Perry\,  Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government\, Harvard University; Director\, Harvard-Yenching Institute \nThis talk will examine how the national system of China’s waste recovery and recycling took shape through the mass movements during the heydays of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Waste recovery and recycling gained political weight after Mao’s idea of “comprehensive usage” (zonghe liyong) had become the guiding ideology of China’s rapid industrialization. It was not only a matter of production and productivity\, but also a matter of dialectical materialism. The usable and the useless were perceived as a unity of opposites. In a “scientific”/ideal scenario\, the use value can be unceasingly resurrected as long as human endeavor implies. I will argue that the idea and practice of waste recovery and recycling in that period showcased the revolutionary romanticism of the relationship between people and state\, as well as people and nature. It is a socialist legacy that speaks to our contemporary concerns about sustainability and pollution control in post-reform urban China. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/dialectics-waste-recycling-campaigns-socialist-china-1949-1978
