SUMMARY:The Origins and Dynamics of Crony Capitalism in China: Insights from 260 Cases of Collusive Corruption
DESCRIPTION:Corruption in the post-Tiananmen era exhibits distinct characteristics not found in the 1980s\, such as astronomical sums of money looted by officials\, their family members\, and their cronies in the private sector\, large networks of co-conspirators\, and the sale of public office.  By examining the evolution of Chinese economic and political institutions since the early 1990s\, we can trace the emergence of crony capitalism to two critical changes in the control of property rights of the assets owned by the state and the personnel management of the officials the ruling Communist Party.  The cumulative effects of these changes have dramatically decentralized the control of public property without clarifying its ownership and granted local party chiefs unprecedented personnel power.  Consequently\, local political and business elites gain greater incentives and opportunities to collude with each other in looting the assets nominally owned by the state.  The insights from a sample of 260 cases of corruption involving multiple officials and businessmen suggest that crony capitalism in China has given birth to a decentralized kleptocracy with its own market rules and dynamics. \nSpeaker: Minxin Pei is the Tom and Margot Pritzker ’72 Professor of Government and directs the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. He is also a non-resident senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. He is the author of China’s Crony Capitalism: The Dynamics of Regime Decay (Harvard\, 2016); China’s Trapped Transition: The Limits of Developmental Autocracy (Harvard\, 2006) and From Reform to Revolution: The Demise of Communism in China and the Soviet Union (Harvard\, 1994).  Pei has published in Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, The New York Times\, The Financial Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, Project Syndicate\, Fortune.com\, Nikkei Asian Review\, and many scholarly journals and edited volumes.  He was a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (1999-2009) and an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University (1992-1998).  He received his Ph.D. in government from Harvard University in 1991.

SUMMARY:Religion of the Han Empire
DESCRIPTION:***NOTE*** This event takes place in Room S250\, CGIS South Building*** \nAn Unknown Chinese religion from the 200s BC to 200s AD has been revealed. Led by Confucian morality\, mixed with Huanglao Daoist belief and techniques\, the meaning system served as the spiritual support of the Han empire. The underground is another world\, with sun\, moon and dipper on its sky. In that space\, the tomb serves as a “palace for refining the form” after death; the dead in the tomb will undergo a process of “form refining in the grand darkness.” If one behaves according to Confucian teachings in this world\, one will gain immortality at the end of this underworld process. Before Buddhism penetrated into the core of the Han tradition\, this was the major belief of the Han people and formed the Han traditional spirituality and gave birth to Celestial Master Daoism. \nSpeaker: Dr. Jiang Sheng 姜生\, Changjiang Scholar Professor of Chinese History at Sichuan University\, is the leading Chinese historian in the methodological pursuit and practice of religiological historiography\, i.e.\, to understand and interpret ancient history on the basis of religious studies. He is devoted to the study of Han tomb and Han religion — the earlier religious history before Celestial Master’s Daoism; on this topic\, his recent publication is a monograph “Heritage of the Han Empire: Ghosts in Han China.” His work includes interdisciplinary study and development of culture\, science and technology\, esp. the cultural basis of scientific innovation and of national power. He is the PI of China’s national major project “History of Science and Technology in Daoism (Song to Qing);” in this field he has published two big volumes.

SUMMARY:Lecture and Panel Discussion: Cultural Heritage and Ai Weiwei
DESCRIPTION:Using the historical legacy and artistic concepts of Ai Weiwei’sCircle of Animals/Zodiac Heads as a point of departure\, join The Greenway and the Arts & Business Council as they present a panel of experts that can guide us through current cultural heritage concerns and remedies. \nThe event will present specialists in the fields of heritage appropriation and repatriation; specifically\, the looting history in which Ai Weiwei based his monumental artworks; and for comparison in the United States\, remedy in the form of federal law for museum collections which enables the repatriation  of Native American cultural items. \nThe event will feature short lectured presentations on these topics\, and will conclude with a moderated panel discussion followed by audience Q&A. Please join us to learn more about this important topic. Small reception to follow. \nAbout Ai Weiwei’s Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: \nDesigned in the 18th century by two European Jesuits serving in the court of the Qing dynasty Emperor Qianlong\, the twelve zodiac animal heads originally functioned as a water clock-fountain\, which was sited in the magnificent European-style gardens of the Yuanming Yuan. In 1860\, the Yuanming Yuan was ransacked by French and British troops\, and the heads were pillaged. In re-interpreting these objects on an oversized scale\, Ai Weiwei focuses attention on questions of looting and repatriation\, while extending his ongoing exploration of the ‘fake’ and the copy in relation to the original.  Ai Weiwei’s work reveals layers of history while bringing attention to current economic\, political and collecting issues. \nSpeakers: \nLILLIAN M. LI\, Sara Lawrence Lightfoot Professor Emerita of History and Senior Research Scholar at Swarthmore College \nLillian M. Li\, a historian of China\, was trained at Harvard University under John King Fairbank\, and served on the faculty of Swarthmore College until 2012. Her scholarly work focused on economic history and culminated with the publication ofFighting Famine in North China: State\, Market\, and Environmental Decline\, 1690s-1990s (Stanford University Press\, 2007). Urban history and visual culture have been her recent interests. She co-authored Beijing: from Imperial Capital to Olympic City (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2007 and 2008)\, as well as an article “Building and Visualizing Cities: China\, Europe\, and the Islamic World\, 1400-1800” in Urban Life in China\, 15th-20th centuries (École francaise d’Extrême-Orient\, 2016). She has also written “The Garden of Perfect Brightness\,” a three-part visual essay on the Yuanmingyuan\, for MIT Visualizing Cultures\, Open Courseware\, and has lectured about the historic significance of this site and the recent controversies about the repatriation of its iconic zodiac animal heads. \nPATRICIA (TRISH) CAPONE\, Museum Curator and Director of Research and Repatriation\, Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology\, Harvard University \nPatricia Capone (Ph.D.\, Harvard University) joined the staff of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in 1995.  As Curator and Director of Research and Repatriation\, Patricia focuses on museum anthropology\, North American historical archaeology\, repatriation and collaborative methodologies.  As Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University\, she co-directs the Harvard Yard Archaeology Project with Dr. Diana Loren. She also currently serves as President of the Council of Museum Anthropology within the American Anthropological Association. Her recent article “Amending Wonder: Museums and Twenty Years of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act” (2013)\, is an example of her work as part of the Peabody Museum’s leadership in considering museums’ history and modern scholarly and public partnerships. \nModerator: \nMEGAN LOW is the Director of Services for the Arts & Business Council\, where she oversees the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts program.  Megan is a graduate of Boston College Law School and holds a bachelor’s degree in Art History from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:The Anti-rightist Campaign as Media Event: Censorship\, Political Dissent\, and Media in 1950s China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Chin Sei Jeong (Division of International Studies\, Ewha Womans University; HYI Visiting Scholar 2016-17) \nChair/discussant: Prof. Arunabh Ghosh (History\, Harvard University) \nZhang Naiqi\, the Minister of Food and democratic party leader\, was denounced as one of the three leading “rightists” during the Anti-Rightist Campaign (1957-58) in China. Accusations against Zhang by other intellectuals were actively publicized through the news media. Intriguingly\, rather than simply censoring “rightist voices\,” the CCP allowed the news media to publicize Zhang’s contestation against the accusation\, even when the CCP had the capacity to completely censor Zhang’s rebuttal. The CCP by the early 1950s monopolized the ability to construct publicity and public opinion on party policies and political affairs by gaining tight media control through nationalizing the media and establishing a relatively effective censorship system. Thus\, the CCP’s effective media control itself does not fully explain Zhang’s vulnerability to the accusation. Ultimately\, Zhang was unsuccessful in contesting the public accusation\, and was ultimately purged from most of his public positions. \nThis talk explores the role of the media in a high-profile political campaign in the early PRC\, such as the Anti-Rightist Campaign\, by emphasizing the theatrical and performative nature of the campaign. Earlier studies on political campaigns in the PRC often neglected the role of the media\, due to the assumption that the media functioned merely as a party mouthpiece. However\, major newspapers such as the People’s Daily played an important role as a public tribunal in which a particular political discourse was delegitimized and defined as “dissent.” Even when branded as “rightist\,” “anti-socialist\,” “anti-party\,” and even “counterrevolutionary\,” Zhang was allowed to publicize his own rebuttal against the accusation. Thus\, Zhang Naiqi became vulnerable to public accusation not because he was unable to publicize his own voice\, but because he was unable to negotiate with the party and the news media in constructing publicity for the case and creating his own subjectivity in public in a way that would allow him not to lose his political legitimacy. Ultimately\, this talk aims at shedding new light on the role of media in politics\, media censorship\, and political dissent in 1950s China.

SUMMARY:Modern China Lecture: Varieties of Chinese Utopianism\, 1900-1940
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Zarrow\, University of Connecticut \nUtopianism was a major motif in early twentieth century Chinese political thought.  Utopianism was not only widespread\, it became constitutive of political thought.  Utopianism did so in the form of the utopian impulse rather than full-fledged utopianism.  The “utopian impulse” is revealed in the context of generally non-utopian ideas.  While not all thinkers were influenced by utopianism\, many were—and the utopian impulse revealed in their work took very different forms.  I consider four case studies.  First\, Kang Youwei: he was author of the only full-fledged utopian scheme; his utopia was based on metaphysical cosmopolitanism.  Second\, Cai Yuanpei: Cai’s neo-Kantian aestheticism was another form of metaphysical thinking that formed the basis of his so-called philosophical anarchism.  Third\, Chen Duxiu: Chen’s secular utopian interpretation of democracy infused his liberal and Trotskyite phases (less so his Leninist phase).  And finally\, Hu Shi: Hu’s scientism led him to processual utopianism and shaped his liberalism and his critique of traditional culture.  There were certainly other varieties of utopianism\, both metaphysical and secular\, and the utopian impulse appeared in fiction as well as political writing\, but these four cases enable us to begin to examine the relationship between utopianism and varieties of political thought. \nPeter Zarrow is professor of History at the University of Connecticut.  His research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of modern China.  Zarrow is currently writing a monograph on utopian thought in China in the twentieth century and has begun a project on the history of the Forbidden City.  He is the author most recently of After Empire: The Conceptual Transformation of the Chinese State\, 1885-1924 (Stanford\, 2012) and Educating China: Knowledge\, Society\, and Textbooks in a Modernizing World\, 1902-1937 (Cambridge\, 2015).

SUMMARY:Legitimating State Power and Social Policies: A Comparative Study of Early Modern England\, Tokugawa Japan\, and Qing China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. He Wenkai (Division of Social Science\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; HYI-Radcliffe Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Daniel Ziblatt (Government\, Harvard University) \nThis talk employs comparative historical analysis to examine a crucial linkage between the legitimation of state power and the adoption of social policies in three early modern states\, England (1550-1700)\, Japan (1700-1868)\, and China (1700-1895). In all three cases\, despite their distinct political institutions and histories\, states justified their monopoly of coercive force through key normative terms such as public welfare or public good. Importantly\, such terms could also be utilized by local officials\, local communities\, and even commoners to negotiate and bargain with the center over the content of social policies such as poverty and famine relief\, resolution of cross-regional conflicts of interests\, and infrastructure building. This negotiation process was fundamental to the smooth operation of early modern states with quite weak central institutional capacities. Moreover\, it also provided a limited political space for common people to participate in state politics through peaceful collective petitions.

SUMMARY:Tourism\, Homeland\, and Imaginaries: the percolating role of a Yi Jia Le family in a Sani Yi village in southwest China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Ge Rongling (Anthropology\, Xiamen University; HYI Visiting Scholar)\nChair/discussant: Prof. Michael Puett (EALC\, Harvard University) \nTourism has increasingly become a force that propels economic and social change in a wide range of ethnic villages in China. For the local ethnic minorities\, engaging in the business of tourism means not only learning new livelihood skills but also adjusting the community’s imaginaries of their own homeland to outside tourist imaginaries. This talk will focus on a case study of Yi Jia Le\, a newly emerged family-run hospitality business in Da Nuo Hei\, a Sani Yi village near the Stone Forest UNESCO Park in Yunnan\, China\, to examine its role as outside-inside imaginary circulators and percolators\, and its use of a social nexus to transfer individual homeland imaginaries into shared and collective ones. One particular Yi Jia Le family and its creative off-market exchanges/transactions with other villagers will be presented to explain how the imaginary nexus expands in the community.

SUMMARY:The Future of Sino-EU Relations After Brexit
DESCRIPTION:Philippe Le Corre\, Visiting Fellow – Foreign Policy\, Center on the United States and Europe\, The Brookings Institution\nCo-sponsored by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs Program on Transatlantic Relations \nFor years China’s international investment interests focused on a search for natural resources in Africa\, Asia\, and Latin America. Recently China’s focus has shifted to Europe as well as the United States\, and to new fields as diverse as real estate\, energy\, hospitality\, transportation\, and heavy industry. \nChinese foreign investment is expected to grow throughout Europe in the years to come. For instance\, the financial crisis centered in Greece and the fall of the euro have helped China and some of its corporations create a new partnership within the European Union\, working to expand the country’s power through finance and infrastructure. \nPhilippe Le Corre examines the trends\, sectors\, and target countries of Chinese investments in Europe. Looking at cases of outbound investment trajectories and journeys by some key Chinese private and state-owned companies\, he also takes a look at European perceptions of China. \nPhilippe Le Corre is the author of “China’s Offensive in Europe” (Brookings\, 2016).

SUMMARY:Fantasies of the Self: Multiples\, Illusions and Poems in the Photographic Culture of Modern China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Shengqing Wu (Division of Humanities\, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology;  HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2016-17)\nChair/discussant: Prof. David Wang (EALC\, Harvard University) \nThis talk investigates the visual configurations\, rhetorical conventions\, and fundamental concepts underlying China’s portrait photography in the early twentieth century. By surveying pictorial magazines\, photo albums of courtesans\, and poems written about new visual experiences\, it addresses issues of how portrait photography was understood and practiced in the flourishing urban culture\, and how traditional aesthetics\, visual tropes\, and Buddhist concepts were involved in adopting and indigenizing the new visual media. The complex interactions of modern technology and aestheticism\, image and text\, reveal that aesthetic tradition was deeply implicated in the cross-cultural exchanges of technologies and power in the formation of China’s urban culture and visual modernity\, further enriching our understanding of optical truth and illusion.

SUMMARY:China's National Cap-and-Trade Program: the Promise and the Reality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: WANG Pu\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard Kennedy School \nCo-sponsored by the China Project\, Harvard Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, and the Environment and Natural Resources Program\, Harvard Kennedy School. \nChina’s national cap-and-trade program is regarded as a cornerstone of its climate policy outlined in the 13th Five-year plan (2016-2020)\, published right after the 2015 U.N. Climate Conference in Paris. Since China has accounted for two thirds of global emissions growth in the past decade\, its ambition to control carbon emissions could be a great contribution to the global effort in combating climate change. In addition to emission reduction\, China also intends to achieve two other goals through the program: to facilitate economic transition by reducing energy-inefficient industrial sectors and promoting low-carbon industries\, and to mitigate severe air pollution in the urban regions. But the program’s effectiveness is contingent on the right institutional settings at both macro and micro levels. The speaker will review the major challenges for the program in accomplishing the policy goals\, and discuss the efficiency and equity tradeoffs of different allowance allocation methods in the cap-and-trade program.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: Mr. Deng Goes to Washington
DESCRIPTION:Mr. Deng Goes to Washington tells the story of Deng Xiaoping’s\, China’s paramount leader\, historic visit to the United States in 1979 that changed the trajectory of world history.  This dramatic story is told through first-hand experiences of those people from both countries who made the normalization of relations possible–politicians\, diplomats\,  and one former U.S. President.  Throughout the trip\, Deng had to face many different audiences and win the approval of the U.S. public and the U.S. Congress.  But in the end\, Deng’s wisdom in opening up a new course\, his determination and sense of humor and the American hosts’ good will and detailed preparations cemented the friendship between the U.S. and China and precipitated China’s meteoric economic rise for the next 36 years. \nDiscussants:\nEzra Vogel\, Henry Ford II Professor of Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus\,  Harvard University\nJan Berris\, Vice-President\, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations\nFu Hongqing\, Director\, Mr. Deng Goes to Washington\nZhou Zhixing\, Chair\, U.S.-China New Perspectives Foundation

SUMMARY:The Master Branches Out: Images of Confucius in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:As Confucius (551-479 BCE) has returned to political favor in recent years\, his image has become ubiquitous in mainland China and increasingly used abroad to symbolize Chinese culture.  Represented in a great variety of media\, both traditional and modern\, depictions of the ancient teacher serve new purposes and address a much wider audience than ever before.  Sometimes based on imagery from the dynastic era\, when Confucius was meaningful to just the educated elite\, his recent portrayals range from monumental public statues and paintings to movies\, cartoons\, and avant-garde installations.  Using examples from contemporary Chinese visual culture\, this talk will explore issues of patronage\, source\, reception\, and significance in light of current cultural and political concerns. \nSpeaker: Julia K. Murray is Professor Emerita of Art History\, East Asian Studies\, and Religious Studies at the University of Wisconsin\, and an Associate in Research at the Fairbank Center for China Studies at Harvard University.  Before entering academe\, she worked in curatorial positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Freer Gallery of Art\, and the Harvard University Art Museums\, She has taught courses on many aspects of the history of Chinese art\, in a variety of media\, from Neolithic times to the present\, with particular emphasis on late-imperial pictorial art.  Her numerous research fellowships include awards from the Guggenheim Foundation\, American Council of Learned Societies\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation\, Asian Cultural Council\, and the Metropolitan Center for Research on Far Eastern Art.  Her current research focuses on the visual and material culture associated with the veneration of Confucius\, particularly his portraits and illustrations of his life.  Her publications include Mirror of Morality: Chinese Narrative Illustration and Confucian Ideology (2007); Ma Hezhi and the Illustration of the Book of Odes (1993); Last of the Mandarins (1987); and A Decade of Discovery (1979); as well as numerous articles on Chinese pictorial art and narrative illustration.  In 2010 she served as the guest-curator and catalogue co-author for the exhibition Confucius: His Life and Legacy in Art at the China Institute Gallery in New York\, organized jointly with the Shandong Provincial Museum.  The Chinese-language edition of  Mirror of Morality was published in 2014 by Beijing’s Sanlian Press\, under the title 道德镜鉴：中国叙述性图画与儒家意识形态 .
