SUMMARY:Fairbank Center Panel Discussion - Transnational Aging in the Chinese Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \nPanel Participants:Sara L. Friedman\, Professor of Anthropology and Gender Studies\, Indiana UniversityRussell King\, Professor of Geography\, University of SussexSarah Lamb\, Barbara Mandel Professor of Humanistic Social Sciences and Professor of Anthropology\, Brandeis UniversityAndrea Louie\, Professor of Anthropology\, Michigan State UniversityNicole Newendorp\, Associate Director and Lecturer\, Social Studies\, Harvard UniversityKen Chih-Yan Sun\, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Criminology\, Villanova University \nNearly 4.3 million immigrants in the United States are age sixty-five and over. Research predicts that the number of nonwhite elderly immigrants will continue to grow\, doubling to 36 percent of the senior population by 2050. Although the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the lives of older migrants\, the familial and social networks in which they are embedded remain in place and can translate into important protective resources. At the same time\, Chinese societies – e.g.\, mainland China\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong – have experienced rapid and large-scale social and cultural transformation over the past few decades\, resulting in complex feelings and competing perspectives by older migrants on their homeland(s). In this workshop\, six scholars in the fields of migration\, aging\, and Chinese studies grapple with the new frontier of studies on migration and life transition by focusing on two recent ethnographies about transnational aging in the Chinese diaspora. One highlights Chinese immigrants who relocate to the US at a later life stage; the other examines long-term Taiwanese immigrants who spent decades navigating life in American society and transnationally. Through our conversation\, we seek to collaboratively rethink major issues and the understudied dimensions of aging and migration. \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript

SUMMARY:Meaningful Ageing: Shaping a Better Future for China’s Elderly
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 21\, 2021 – 8:30-10:30 PM EDT\nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021 – 8:30-10:30 AM EDT \nThe challenges presented by the ageing of China’s population are vast and complex. Not only does ageing have major impacts on labor supply\, savings\, economic growth and social and family relationships\, ageing also necessitates re-imagining social systems—such as healthcare\, eldercare\, pension and housing—in order to sustainably support the elderly population in ageing well and living a meaningful life in China. The government has made confronting these challenges a national policy priority\, as seen in the 14th Five-Year Plan. The prominence of ageing in this national policy planning blueprint and the issue’s inclusion in subsequent talks by senior policymakers signify its importance for ensuring sustainable economic and social development into the future. \nThis event\, hosted by the Harvard China Health Partnership and Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, seeks to develop new and innovative ideas to help China develop a health and eldercare system to meet the needs of its ageing population in light of demographic shifts. Over multiple sessions\, we will assemble an interdisciplinary group of experts to share their ideas\, research and practical experience that could be adapted to the Chinese cultural\, social and institutional contexts. \nFor a complete agenda and speaker list\, click here. \nPresented via Zoom\nRegistration Required\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-NZAPfx1Q5C72MMlwExV_Q

SUMMARY:Takashi Shiraishi - Maritime Asia vs. Continental Asia: National Strategies in a Region of Change
DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Takashi Shiraishi\, Chancellor\, Prefectural University of Kumamoto; Professor Emeritus\, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS)\, Japan \nModerators:\nNargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\nJames Evans\, Communications Officer\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Ph.D. Candidate\, Department of History\, Harvard University\n\n\nThe tectonic shifts in today’s geopolitical landscape are having a particularly dramatic impact in Asia\, where the rise of China presents a growing challenge to the US-led order that has maintained peace and stability in the region since the end of the Cold War. In his book\, Takashi Shiraishi\, one of Japan’s leading authorities on Asia and national policy planning\, explores the deeper background and long-term trends behind the diplomatic challenges and dilemmas now facing Japan\, China\, ASEAN\, and the United States. One key question that he addresses: What accounts for the divide between the maritime states and the countries of mainland Asia? He discusses China’s Belt and Road Initiative from this broader perspective. \nCo-sponsored by the Davis Center; Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Program on U.S.-Japan Relations\, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs; and the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies.

SUMMARY:Special Event featuring Xiaotong Feng - Rural Revitalization: China’s “Ace” in Dealing with Western “Competition”
DESCRIPTION:Reading the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Xiaotong Feng\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Communication University of China; Fairbank Center Visiting Scholar \nDiscussant/Moderator: Michael Szonyi\, Frank Wen-Hsiung Wu Memorial Professor of Chinese History; Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nIn the past few years\, even the most optimistic scholars will not deny that China’s relations with Western countries have encountered big difficulties. Whether China accepts this willingly or not\, the external conditions needed to maintain China’s past economic growth model are now absent. The “Rural Revitalization” strategy promoted by Xi Jinping is generally regarded as an internal social governance issue\, aimed at promoting social equity\, balancing urban-rural differences and protecting the natural environment. However\, can  “Rural Revitalization” also be seen as a strategy to help China cope with “competition” from Western countries?  Can it reduce China’s dependence on the US dollar?  Does it represent a new and unprecedented development model? \nPresented via Zoom Webinar

SUMMARY:Reischauer Lecture Series featuring Rana Mitter — New Eras\, Old Stories: From May Fourth and Meiji to the Twenty-First Century “New Era” - Defining East Asia in the Age of Novelty\, Emotion and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · A Sense of Purpose? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 3\nRead the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Rana Mitter\, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, St. Cross College\, University of Oxford \nDiscussant: Arunabh Ghosh\, Associate Professor of History\, Harvard University \nLecture 3 of 3: A Sense of Purpose?\nSome states have always maintained a sense that they have a mission in the world well beyond the maintenance of domestic order\, the United States\, France and Britain among them. Japan\, China and the Koreas also inherited a strong sense of purpose in the modern era\, from Meiji modernization to Mao’s “Three Worlds” and the Belt and Road Initiative\, ideas drawing on the longer past – yet the definition of that purpose has been in constant flux. What defines East Asia’s sense of purpose today\, can we speak of it in regional terms\, and how does it relate to its long history of aspiration to be an intellectual and moral exemplar? \nRana Mitter is Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, and a Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford. He is the author of several books\, including China’s War with Japan: The Struggle for Survival\, 1937-1945 (Penguin\, 2013)\, [US title: Forgotten Ally] which won the 2014 RUSI/Duke of Westminster’s Medal for Military Literature\, and was named a Book of the Year in the Financial Times and Economist. His latest book is China’s Good War: How World War II is Shaping a New Nationalism (Harvard\, 2020). His recent documentary on contemporary Chinese politics “Meanwhile in Beijing” is available on BBC Sounds.  He is co-author\, with Sophia Gaston\, of the report “Conceptualizing a  UK-China Engagement Strategy” (British Foreign Policy Group\, 2020).  He won the 2020 Medlicott Medal for Service to History\, awarded by the Historical Association.  He is a Fellow of the British Academy and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. \nThe Annual Reischauer Lecture Series is co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Korea Institute\, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\, and Harvard University Asia Center. \nListen to parts one and two of this three-part lecture below. \n \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · How New is the New Era? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 1\n \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · An Era of Emotion? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 2

DESCRIPTION:Reading the transcript of the event here. \n \n \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · Northern Europe’s Response to China’s Belt and Road Initiative\nRead the transcript of the event here. \nUna Aleksandra Bērziņa-Čerenkova\, Head\, China Studies Centre\, Riga Stradins University; Head\, New Silk Road Program\, Latvian Institute of International Affairs\nBjörn Jerdén\, Director\, Knowledge Centre on China \, Swedish Institute of International Affairs\nLuke Patey\, Senior Researcher\, Foreign Policy and Diplomacy\, Danish Institute for International Studies \nModerators:\nNargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\nJames Evans\, Communications Officer\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Ph.D. Candidate\, Department of History\, Harvard University \nNordic and Baltic countries have struggled to develop well-calibrated approaches to cooperation with China and its flagship Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Economic incentives or disincentives\, human rights\, the EU dynamics\, security arrangements\, and global governance consideration have pulled the agendas of Northern European states in different directions. This panel will discuss the current state of affairs and the prospect of a coordinated Nordic-Baltic policy with regard to the BRI. \nCo-sponsored by the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies\, the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, and the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Reischauer Lecture Series featuring Rana Mitter — New Eras\, Old Stories: From May Fourth and Meiji to the Twenty-First Century “New Era” - Defining East Asia in the Age of Novelty\, Emotion and Purpose
DESCRIPTION:  \nHarvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · An Era of Emotion? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 2\nSpeaker: Rana Mitter\, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, St. Cross College\, University of Oxford \nDiscussant: Jie Li\, John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities\, Harvard University \nLecture 2 of 3: An Era of Emotion?\nOne factor that defines Chinese engagement with the world today is its highly emotional character\, in terms of self-presentation that can move from saccharine to shrill at remarkable speed.  But emotion is not new – the use of the registers from exhilaration to depression defines the way that China\, Japan and the Koreas have chosen to present themselves over the past century\, whether through (often highly gendered) lenses of Asianism\, revolution\, martiality\, discourses of “national humiliation\,” or of global citizenship.  How much of this draws on emotional registers defined by modernity\, and how much from a repertoire shaped by a culture with much longer roots? \nRana Mitter is Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, and a Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford. He is the author of several books\, including China’s War with Japan: The Struggle for Survival\, 1937-1945 (Penguin\, 2013)\, [US title: Forgotten Ally] which won the 2014 RUSI/Duke of Westminster’s Medal for Military Literature\, and was named a Book of the Year in the Financial Times and Economist.

DESCRIPTION:Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · How New is the New Era? 2021 Annual Reischauer Lecture with Rana Mitter\, Part 1\nSpeaker: Rana Mitter\, Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, St. Cross College\, University of Oxford\n \nDiscussant: Odd Arne Westad\, Elihu Professor of History and Global Affairs\, Yale University \nLecture 1 of 3: How New is the New Era?\nChina’s leaders speak today of a “new era” – but East Asia has seen a range of “new eras” in the modern age\, defined by Japan\, China\, and outsiders who encountered both.  What defines that novelty and how familiar are the elements that form part of it?  The mid-twentieth century saw war\, social change and changing global encounters defined as moments when both China and Japan entered a “new” or “special” era in a global context.  What continuities and contrasts are there between the past and the present\, and what defines that “newness”? \nRana Mitter is Professor of the History and Politics of Modern China\, and a Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford.

Her publications include The Belt\, Road and Beyond: State-Mobilized Globalization in China 1998 — 2018 (Cambridge University Press\, 2020)\, Diasporas and Foreign Direct Investment in China and India (Cambridge University Press\, 2014)\, and The Making of Northeast Asia (with Kent Calder\, Stanford University Press\, 2010). Min Ye has received grants and fellowship in the U.S and Asia\, including a Smith Richardson Foundation grant (2016-2018)\, East Asia Peace\, Prosperity\, and Governance Fellowship (2013)\, Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program post-doctoral fellowship (2009-2010)\, and Millennium Education Scholarship in Japan (2006). In 2014-2016\, the National Committee on the U.S-China Relations selects Min Ye as a Public Intellectual Program fellow. In 2020\, Ye is selected as the Rosenberg Scholar of East Asian Studies at Suffolk University. \nIn 2009-2010\, Min Ye was the China and the World post-doctoral fellow at the Fairbank Center.
