SUMMARY:Webinar - The BRI and Covid-19: Is China’s Project of the Century Adapting or Atrophying?
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. However\, the external environment and demand for BRI are predicted to change\, and we are likely to see important shifts in the BRI implementation in the future. \nMin Ye is Associate Professor of International Relations at the Pardee School of Global Studies\, Boston University. Her research situates in the nexus between domestic and global politics and the intersection of economics and security\, with a focus on China\, India\, and the regional relations. 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.

SUMMARY:Audrye Wong and Alex Yu-Ting Lin - Rising China in a Changing Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nAlex Yu-Ting Lin\, predoctoral research fellow\, Belfer Center’s International Security Program; Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California\nAudrye Wong\, Grand Strategy\, Security\, and Statecraft postdoctoral fellow\, Belfer Center; postdoctoral fellow; Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies \nModerator: Grace Headinger\, Operations Coordinator\, Belfer Center \nOver the past decade\, China’s emergence as a geopolitical leader in Asia has upended the region’s U.S.-led economic and security status quo. As both the U.S. and China vie for influence over other Asia-Pacific states\, both countries are locked in an international rivalry that threatens to erupt into conflict. Furthermore\, their diverging economic and security priorities paint two distinctly different visions for the region with greater implications for the global stage. \nDr. Audrye Wong and Alex Yu-Ting Lin\, International Security Program research fellows at the Belfer Center\, will discuss their research on great power competition in the Asia-Pacific region\, from whether China’s Belt-and-Road Initiative translates into tangible\, political outcomes\, to why Chinese influence among the region’s smallest states will define its likelihood for future conflict\, to how COVID-19 will impact U.S.-China strategic competition. They will also share stories of their academic paths and answer your questions about pursuing international security research as a career. \nRSVP required for this event.

Hillman\, Senior Fellow\, Simon Chair in Political Economy\, and Director\, Reconnecting Asia Project\, CSIS\nModerator: Nargis Kassenova\, Senior Fellow\, Program on Central Asia\, Davis Center; Associate Professor\, KIMEP University \n  \n\n\nChina’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)\, propelled by the government’s will and the allocation of massive financial resources\, has been changing the political and economic realities in Eurasia. A lot of money is moving around\, creating opportunities for unscrupulous individuals to engage in corrupt schemes. Crony capitalism receives a major boost in the conditions of weak rule of law and lack of transparency and accountability. Thus\, along with the transport\, trade\, investment\, financial and people-to-people connectivity\, fostered by the BRI\, we see the flourishing of connectivity of corrupt elites in China and Eurasia. These networks are not limited to “emerging markets”\, but are part of global arrangements facilitating shady deals and money laundering. The discussion sheds light on the shady side of the BRI in Eurasia\, along with its actors and mechanisms\, and outlines possible ways to improve the governance of investments. \nAlexander Cooley is the Claire Tow Professor of Political Science at Barnard College and Director of Columbia University’s Harriman Institute (2015-present). Professor Cooley’s research examines how external actors—including emerging powers\, international organizations\, multinational companies and NGOs—have influenced the development\, governance and sovereignty of the former Soviet states\, with a focus on Central Asia and the Caucasus. Cooley is the author and/or editor of seven academic books including Great Games\, Local Rules: the New Great Power Contest in Central Asia (Oxford 2012) and Dictators without Borders: Power and Money In Central Asia (Yale 2017)\, co-authored with John Heathershaw. His new book Exit from Hegemony: the Unravelling of the American Global Order has just been published by Oxford University Press in April 2020. \nJonathan E. Hillman is a senior fellow at the Center for  Strategic and International Studies and Director of the Reconnecting Asia Project\, one of the most extensive open-source databases tracking China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Prior to joining CSIS\, Hillman served as a policy adviser at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative\, where he contributed to the 2015 U.S. National Security Strategy and the President’s Trade Agenda and directed the research and writing process for essays\, speeches\, and other materials explaining U.S. trade and investment policy. He has also worked as a researcher at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs\, the Council on Foreign Relations\, and in Kyrgyzstan as a Fulbright scholar. His book\, The Emperor’s New Road\, will be published by Yale University Press in 2020. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCosponsored by the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.

SUMMARY:The River Dragon Has Indeed Come! –– Chinese Floods and Flood Management in 2020 and in the Past
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies · The River Dragon has indeed come! Chinese Floods and Flood Management in 2020 and in the past\nSpeakers:\nClark ALEJANDRINO\, Trinity College\nChris COURTNEY\, Durham University\nXiangli DING\, Rhode Island School of Design\nYan GAO\, University of Memphis \nModerator: Ling Zhang\, Boston College \nAbout the Speakers:\n \nClark Alejandrino teaches at Trinity College. Clark finished a Ph.D. in East Asian Environmental History at Georgetown University. He specializes in the environmental history of China\, especially its climate and animal history\, covering the fifth to the twentieth century in his research. He is currently preparing a book manuscript on typhoons in the history of the South China coast and preparing to embark on a new project exploring the history of migratory birds in East Asia. At Trinity\, he teaches courses on Chinese history\, environmental history\, world history\, and Pacific history. \nChris Courtney teaches at Durham University (UK). Chris is a social and environmental historian of China\, specializing on the history of Wuhan and its hinterland. His previous research focused upon the history of nature-induced disasters in the 19th and 20th centuries. His monograph The Nature of Disaster in China examined the history of the 1931 Central China Flood. It was awarded the 2019 John K Fairbanks Prize. Chris has also published on topics including the history of environmental religion\, fire disasters\, and Maoist flood (mis)management. His current research focuses on the problem of heat in modern Chinese cities. Using a combination of archival and oral history he is examining how people coped with extreme temperatures through a period of rapid cultural\, political and technological change. He explores how emergent technologies such as ice factories\, electric fans\, and air conditioning transformed the cultural and social landscape of urban China. \nXiangli Ding teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design. His research interests focus on the confluence of nature\, technologies\, economy and political forces in modern China and how that confluence has changed Chinese people’s lives and their relationship with the natural environment. His first book project\, Transforming Waters: Hydroelectricity\, State Making and Social Changes in 20th-Century China\, examines the rise of hydroelectricity in modern China and argues that political powers aided by hydro-technologies consumed not only the natural resources at an unprecedented pace and scale\, but also marginalized local communities in the making of the modern hydropower regime. \nYan Gao teaches at the University of Memphis. Yan specializes in social and environmental history of late imperial and modern China\, and her research focuses on water management of the central Yangzi region. She obtained her Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University and held a few research and teaching positions around the world. She was a Carson fellow at the Rachel Carson Center of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München\, a visiting post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin\, and a Research Associate at the Global Asia Initiative of Duke University. She has published several scholarly articles. Yan is finalizing a book entitled “Yangzi Waters: Transforming the Water Regime in Late Imperial China.” \nPart of the Environment in Asia series at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nThis event is a Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Maintaining Peace in China-India Relations
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nKishore Mahbubani\, Distinguished Fellow\, Asia Research Institute\, NUS\nSelina Ho\, Assistant Professor and Program Chair\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy\, National University of Singapore\nShen Dingli\, Professor\, Institute of International Studies\, Fudan University\nTarun Khanna\, Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor\, Harvard Business School; Faculty Director\, Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute\, Harvard University\nKanti Bajpai\, Director\, Centre on Asia and Globlisation and Wilmar Professor of Asian Studies\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy\, National University of Singapore\nManjari Chatterjee Miller\, Associate Professor of International Relations\, Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies\, Boston University \nChairperson: James Crabtree\, Associate Professor in Practice\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy\, National University of Singapore \nThe China-India relationship is one of the keys to international security\, the future of Asia\, and the well-being of nearly 3 billion people. Since early May 2020\, border tensions between the two powers have underlined the potential for conflict. In 2017\, their armies faced off for 73 days. At the same time\, they have built a system of engagement designed to manage conflict and their larger rivalry. Their leaders meet regularly\, they hold talks on the border quarrel\, they have a series of confidence building measures\, and they trade and invest with each other. They also cooperate multilaterally. \nWhat are the drivers of the relationship? How can they manage conflict and rivalry? Are there cooperative steps forward\, now and looking ahead? Two years ago\, the Centre on Asia and Globalization in the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore\, set out to answer these and other vital questions by working with Routledge UK to produce the Routledge Handbook of China-India Relations. The book was published earlier this year. It assembled experts from China\, India\, Singapore\, other parts of Asia\, Australia\, Brazil\, Europe\, and the United States and has 35 chapters on a range of China-India issues. \nThis is a co-sponsored event hosted by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore\, the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute\, the Harvard University Asia Center\, and the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. \nPresented via Zoom Webinar.\nRegistration Required.\nRegister at https://nus-sg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Sjly22JCSZWfHPBcMn4ZTQ.

SUMMARY:Olga Lomová - European Dream About Chinese Poetry in Sinological Research:  The Cases of Vasiliv Alekseyev (1881–1951)  and Jaroslav Průšek (1906–1980)
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]Via Zoom Meeting \nSpeaker: Olga Lomová\, Charles University in Prague \nIt is a well-known fact that since the late nineteenth century many Western modernists were fascinated by ancient Chinese poetry believed to be congenial to their new aesthetics. While Ezra Pound is a notorious example in the English-speaking world\, Pauline Yu and others have also demonstrated the crucial role of a much lesser known French poet and translator Judith Gautier (1845-1917) in promoting her version of Chinese poetry around Europe. Early translations of Chinese poetry by Western poets were shaped rather by their own taste for literary experiment than by serious inquiry into the complexity of Chinese poetic art\, and they are justly not included in the history of western sinology. However\, there were also sinologists who did substantial pioneering research into the history of Chinese literature and whose interest in the subject was nevertheless driven by similar modernist sensibility. I will present two European scholars who were among the first to write about Chinese poetry in European scholarship\, and discuss how the modernist aesthetics shaped their research. Using the cases of a Russian scholar V. Alexeyev\, and a Czech Jaroslav Průšek\, I will ask a question: how much preconceived notions about Chinese poetry inspired by earlier translations conditioned their understanding of Chinese literature\, and to what extent they helped them arrive at a breakthrough in Chinese literature studies. \nOlga Lomová is professor of Chinese literature at Charles University in Prague. Her research and teaching comprise Chinese poetry\, literary aesthetics\, and translation. She frames her research in questions of intellectual transformation in 20th century China\, interplay of ideology and culture in the PRC\, and history of sinological research in Europe with special focus on the Prague School. Currently she heads a research group on intercultural communication between East and West within a large transdisciplinary project KREAS at the Charles University Faculty of Arts. \nConducted via Zoom Meeting.\nRegistration Required.\nRegister at: https://harvard.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0sf-2qqj8qEt1suBi_342kgpb6delQCu5E\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:MODERN CHINA LECTURE SERIES FEATURING Sören Urbanksy - Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A History of the Sino-Russian border
DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Sören Urbanksy\, Research Fellow\, German Historical Institute Washington \nThe Sino-Russian border\, once the world’s longest land border\, was special in many ways. It not only divided the two largest Eurasian empires\, it was also the place where European and Asian civilizations met\, where nomads and sedentary people mingled\, where the imperial interests of Russia and later the Soviet Union clashed with those of Qing and Republican China and Japan\, and where the world’s two largest Communist regimes hailed their friendship and staged their enmity. In this talk\, Sören Urbansky will discuss his recent book\, Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A History of the Sino-Russian border\, which examines the demarcation’s remarkable transformation—from a vaguely marked frontier in the seventeenth century to its twentieth-century incarnation as a tightly patrolled barrier girded by watchtowers\, barbed wire\, and border guards. \nPart of the Modern China Lecture Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar

SUMMARY:Ann Heirman - Protecting Insects in Medieval Chinese Buddhism: Daoxuan's Vinaya Commentaries
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ann Heirman\, Ghent University \nBuddhist texts generally prohibit the killing of all sentient beings. This is certainly the case in vinaya (disciplinary) texts\, which contain strict guidelines on the preservation of all human and animal life. When these vinaya texts were translated into Chinese\, they formed the core of Buddhist behavioural codes\, influencing both monastic and lay followers. Chinese vinaya masters\, such as Daoxuan 道宣 (596–667) and Yijing 義淨 (635–713)\, wrote extensive commentaries and accounts\, introducing Indian concepts into the Chinese environment. In this lecture\, we focus on an often neglected aspect of inflicting harm on sentient beings: namely\, the injury that may be caused to some of the world’s smallest animals – insects. Some insects produce economically valuable products\, such as silk and honey; others\, such as mosquitoes and bedbugs\, are annoying or dangerous; and still others are innocent victims of essential human activities\, such as earthworms that are killed when farmland is tilled. Yet\, all of these are sentient beings that – according to Buddhist principles – should not be harmed or killed. What this implies for Chinese vinaya masters\, and especially the highly influential Daoxuan\, is the core question of this lecture. As we will see\, their responses are mixed\, but they always attempt to remain true to the basic principles of Buddhism.Please contact coordinator Guttorm Gundersen for a link to the event: gundersen@g.harvard.edu
