DESCRIPTION:Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · The Belt-Road Initiative and COVID-19\, with Min Ye\n\nSpeaker: Min Ye\, Associate Professor of International Relations\, Pardee School of Global Studies\, Boston University.\nModerator: Michael Szonyi\, Frank Wen-Hsiung Wu Memorial Professor of Chinese History; Director\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nChina’s Belt and Road Initiative\, pronounced by Chinese leader Xi Jinping as the “project of the century”\, now faces the most uncertain fate in China and abroad. In this new research\, Min Ye evaluates policy discourses\, interest groups\, and nascent BRI networks in China and concludes that domestic drivers for the BRI have not been altered by the Covid-19.

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. She has since been an active participant in programs at the Fairbank Center. In 2016-2018\, she served in the Faculty Council of Harvard-Yenching Institute. She currently mentors visiting scholars at HYI. Min Ye is a National Committee on US-China Relations PIP fellow (PIP 4).

SUMMARY:Ong Chang Woei - The Limits of “Civilization” in the Late Northern Song
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ong Chang Woei\, National University of Singapore \nWang 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.

SUMMARY: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
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Wilt L. Idema\, Professor of Chinese Literature Emeritus\, Harvard University \n \nWhen 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.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Tiananmen at 30
DESCRIPTION:Watch again on YouTube: \n \nListen again on Soundcloud: \n \nRead and download a transcript of this event here. \nSpeakers:\nHao Jian\, Professor\, Beijing Film Academy\nLouisa Lim\, Senior Lecturer\, University of Melbourne; Author\, The People’s Republic of Amnesia: Tiananmen Revisited\nWang Dan\, Founder and Executive Director of Dialogue China\nJeffrey Wasserstrom\, Chancellor’s Professor of History\, University of California Irvine \nModerator: \nRowena Xiaoqing He\, Current Member\, Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton; Author\, Tiananmen Exiles: Voices of the Struggle for Democracy in China \n  \nTranscript of Director Michael Szonyi’s Opening Remarks\, May 8\, 2019 \nWelcome 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. \nWhile 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. \nAnyone 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. \nBesides 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. \nAs 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. \nThe 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. \n  \nMichael Szonyi \nMay 8\, 2019

SUMMARY:Paul Cohen - A Path Twice Traveled: My Journey as a Historian of China
DESCRIPTION:Listen again on Soundcloud: \n \nRead and download the transcript for this event here. \nSpeaker: Paul Cohen\, Fairbank Center Associate \nIn his memoir Paul Cohen\, one of the West’s preeminent historians of China\, traces the development of his work from its inception in the early 1960s to the present\, offering fresh perspectives that consistently challenge us to think more deeply about China and the historical craft in general. The book’s title reflects the crucially important disparity between the past as originally experienced and the past as later reconstructed historically\, by which point the historian and the world in which he or she lives have both undergone extensive change. This distinction is very much on Cohen’s mind throughout the book. \nPaul Cohen began his teaching career at the University of Michigan and Amherst College. He then taught for thirty-five years at Wellesley College\, where he is Edith Stix Wasserman Professor of Asian Studies and History\, Emeritus. He is also a long-time Associate of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University. Cohen’s books include Discovering History in China: American Historical Writing on the Recent Chinese Past (1984); History in Three Keys: The Boxers as Event\, Experience\, and Myth (1997); Speaking to History: The Story of King Goujian in Twentieth-Century China (2009); and History and Popular Memory: The Power of Story in Moments of Crisis (2014). History in Three Keys was the winner of the 1997 New England Historical Association Book Award and the American Historical Association’s 1997 John K. Fairbank Prize in East Asian History. Cohen’s work has been translated into Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean.

SUMMARY:Felix Wemheuer - Rebels in Power: Factionalism in Shandong during China’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Felix Wemheuer\, Chair Professor of Modern China Studies\, University of Cologne \nDuring the early Cultural Revolution (1966-1969)\, factional conflicts inside the CCP (Communist Party of China) and within the society resulted in civil war and the almost collapse of the party-state. Wemheuer will present Shandong Province as a case study for the development of factional conflicts at the various administrative levels of state and society. Based on various field trips\, archival research and Oral History interviews with former rebel leaders\, it will be shown how the coalition of rebel cadres\, students\, workers and soldiers was created in Shandong and why they were able to “seize power” in February of 1967. The events and developments that ultimately led to the splitting of the rebels and their final downfall in 1969 will also be examined. The talk will contribute to a new understanding of factional politics. \nFelix Wemheuer belongs to a new generation of Western scholars who are rewriting the history of Maoist China. His publications include Famine Politics in Maoist China and the Soviet Union (Yale UP 2014) and A Social History of Maoist China: Conflict and Change\, 1949-1976 (Cambridge UP 2019). Between 2008 and 2010\, he was a visiting scholar at the Fairbank Center.

SUMMARY:Allan Layug - Order in International Thought: Unpacking China’s Concept of World Order
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allan Layug\, PhD Candidate\, University of Queensland; Associate\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\nDiscussant: Robert Ross\, Professor of Political Science\, Boston College \nHow do we conceptualize China’s world order? What are its defining characteristics? Whose ideas matter in conceptualizing it—and why? And how do the different conceptions affect the Chinese world-ordering projects in the 21st century? These are the key questions the lecture aims to address. Specifically\, it will lay out the ideational foundations of order from the ancient to the modern Chinese thought\, exploring key ideas from Confucius to Sun Yatsen. It will unpack the bones of contention on conceptualization\, construction\, maintenance\, and transformation of world order in the contemporary period\, tracing change and continuity in Mao Zedong Thought\, Deng Theory\, Xi Jinping Thought. It will provide a four-level analysis: (a) analytical level\, where Chinese concept of order and its key characteristics are defined and analyzed\, (b) logical level\, where the reasoning behind such a conception is discussed\, (c) theoretical level\, where the concept is viewed from different theoretical points of view\, and (d) field of debate level\, where the parameters\, axes\, and forms of argument framing the debate in the Chinese world are analyzed. The lecture will conclude on some thoughts about the future trajectory of world ordering the Chinese Way.
