SUMMARY:Regional Production Networks in East Asia: Origin\, Evolution\, and Implications
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Min Shu\, Harvard-Yenching Visiting Scholar; Associate Professor of International Economy\, Waseda University\, Japan \nChair:  Professor Daniel M. Smith\, Department of Government\, Harvard University \nIn the past three decades\, regional production networks played an increasingly important role in East Asian political economy. Originated from Japan’s industrial policy to ‘export’ its sunset industries\, the flow of foreign direct investments (FDIs) from advanced regional economies to the rest of East Asia accelerated after the Plaza Accord in 1985. The participation of non-Asian multinationals\, the exodus of SMEs in the same value/supply chains\, the modularization of modern production (esp. in electronics)\, and the host countries’ FDI-friendly policies all contributed to their rapid development in the 1990s. However\, it was the rise of China as the center of regional assemblies that has transformed the dynamics of regional production networks from capital flow and cross-country production to spatial politics. The talk will examine the implications of regional production networks in relations to labor market regulation\, trade protectionism\, and the politico-economic \n\nhttps://asiaevents.harvard.edu/event/regional-production-networks-east-asia-origin-evolution-and-implications

SUMMARY:Sacred Nation: Chinese Museums and the Legacy of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Magnus Fiskesjö\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Cornell University \nThe official Chinese view of China’s history and national identity has been transformed in recent decades from a tale of revolutionary class struggle into a story of ancient and unbroken national and imperial glory. This shift can be discerned in both new and restored Chinese museums and memorial sites commemorating recent and past heroes. Magnus Fiskesjö will discuss the current boom in China’s “culture industry” and what it tells us about changes in Chinese conceptions of national and cultural identity. \nPresented in collaboration with the Departments of Anthropology and Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University

SUMMARY:Hidden Air: Urbanization\, the Built Environment\, and Indoor Air Quality in China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gary Adamkiewicz\, Assistant Professor of Environmental Health and Exposure Disparities\, Department of Environmental Health\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \nChina’s recent economic growth and rate of urbanization are unprecedented in human history.  These driving forces create great opportunities and present significant challenges.  While cities have always been engines of creativity and innovation\, they can also put strains on natural systems\, often consume energy unsustainably and produce environmental pollution which threatens human health. This motivates our key question: How do we create healthy and sustainable cities in the next century?  Few studies on the connections between the attributes of urban residential housing and health have been conducted in China.  Our recent studies\, including a large cross-sectional survey-based effort in Suzhou\, aim to address some key questions on how the built environment can shape population health.  This seminar will highlight some of our efforts to understand how indoor and outdoor environments are changing in China in ways that directly impact health.  We will also discuss how indoor environments can mitigate some of the health risks from outdoor air pollution. \nSpeaker Bio: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/gary-adamkiewicz/\nFor more information\, visit https://chinaproject.harvard.edu/

SUMMARY:Environmental Public Interest Litigation in China: Cases and Reform
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Barbara Finamore\, Senior Attorney and Asia Director\, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) \nOn January 1\, 2015\, amendments to China’s Environmental Protection Law went into effect that would allow an estimated 700 Chinese NGOs to bring lawsuits against polluters on behalf of the public interest. The Supreme People’s Court then issued an authoritative “interpretation” that provides clarification and needed details to this new public interest environmental law system.  These new rules appear to be designed\, in many ways\, to make it easier for Chinese NGOs to sue polluters. Yet many challenges still remain.  This presentation will provide an overview of the current status of environmental public interest litigation in China\, including case studies\, challenges and reform efforts. \nCo-sponsored by the East Asian Legal Studies Program\, Harvard Law School; China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and Environmental Law Program\, Harvard Law School

SUMMARY:Building Energy Efficiency Regulations in China: Policies and Trends
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Barbara Finamore\, Senior Attorney and Asia Director\, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) \nAbstract: Energy used in buildings is responsible for 30% of China’s CO2 emissions\, a percentage that is expected to grow as China continues to urbanize and transition to a service economy. China has developed a variety of policy tools designed to reduce building energy consumption and waste\, including building energy codes\, policies and programs to promote the green building sector\, and targets and incentives to expand energy efficiency retrofits for existing buildings. This presentation will outline some of China’s key policies and initiatives to improve building energy efficiency\, discusses several outstanding challenges and conclude with an overview of latest developments. \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities\, Harvard Graduate School of Design

SUMMARY:China’s Banking Transformation: The Untold Story
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Stent\, Independent Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of XacBank of Mongolia. \nPundits have been predicting the impending collapse of the Chinese banking system. The collapse has not happened. What have these pundits been missing? Why have their predictions not materialized? \nJames Stent\, author of China’s Banking Transformation: the Untold Story (Oxford University Press 2017) discusses the strengths and drivers of Chinese banking that arise from being embedded in the Chinese political economy and shaped by both international best practice and traditional cultural factors. A Western analytical framework will miss these essential factors and lead to wrong conclusions. Stent demonstrates that the banking system can be used as a prism for understanding how the contemporary Chinese political economy works. \nStent has made a career in banking in Asia. He served for 13 years as an independent director of two Chinese banks between the years 2003 and 2016\, providing him with an insider’s view of how the transformation of Chinese banks proceeded.
