SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Rosealea Yao - China's Housing and Construction Industry - 2023 Review and Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Rosealea Yao \, Senior Analyst\, Gavekal Dragonomics \n\n\n\nChina’s property-market slump worsened in 2023. The burst of pent-up demand that followed the reopening from Covid containment evaporated by April\, and sales deteriorated until tentatively stabilizing in August. Rosealea assesses the outlook for the property sector and risks for developers going forward\, as well as the policy response and what it means for real estate as a growth driver in the years to come. \n\n\n\nRosealea Yao is a senior analyst in the Beijing office of Gavekal Dragonomics and has been with the firm since 2007. She is a specialist on the Chinese property market\, and also works on energy\, infrastructure and other issues related to the investment side of the economy. Before joining Gavekal\, she worked at the Chinese Institute of CPAs in Beijing. Rosealea studied economics at the University of Manchester and graduated from Renmin University of China in 1999. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.Meeting link: https://mit.zoom.us/j/7060207759 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Urban China Series Featuring Fang Xu - Care to be a Shanghainese? Endangerment of the Vernacular and Flexible Resident Identity
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Meeting Link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Fang Xu \, Continuing Lecturer\, Interdisciplinary Studies Program\, University of California Berkeley \n\n\n\nThe transformation of Shanghai into a global city has driven millions of Shanghainese away from the urban core; and turned both the historic urban Shanghai and its newly urbanized periphery into a manifestation of the “China Dream”. Shanghai has also experienced the influx of millions of internal migrants\, and state language policies mandating the usage of Mandarin Chinese instead of the vernacular in all spheres of public life. Based on field research in 2013 and 2017\, this talk focuses on how these Chinese urbanites internalize and navigate the transformed urban geographical and sociolinguistic landscape and position themselves in it. The new urban middle class anchors their identity more on social class and lifestyle than on birthplace\, the household registration status\, and regional tongues such as the Shanghai dialect. Nonetheless\, during the draconian Covid-19 lockdown in 2022\, usage of the Shanghainese vernacular became a countercultural force. \n\n\n\nA Shanghai native\, Fang Xu is an urban sociologist with expertise in language\, cultural identity\, migration\, and public policies in urban China. She holds the position of Continuing Lecturer in the Interdisciplinary Studies program at University of California Berkeley. She is the author of the 2021 book\, Silencing Shanghai: Language and Identity in Urban China. The book has received favorable reviews in journals such as The China Quarterly and Language in Society\, and mentioned in magazines and newspapers such as The Economist and The Guardian. Her current research investigates language-based discrimination experienced by first-generation immigrants in the United States and their identification with the American identity. \n\n\n\nPresented via Zoom.Meeting link: https://mit.zoom.us/j/7060207759 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
