SUMMARY:Zuoyue Wang - Transnational Science in Modern China:  From May Fourth to the Cold War and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zuoyue Wang\, California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona \nHow have transnational exchanges\, especially with the United States\, in science and technology shaped and reshaped modern China in the last century since the May Fourth Movement of 1919? This talk explores key players and events in this history from the Science Society of China during the Republican era\, the making of the atomic bomb during the Mao years\, the experiences of Chinese American scientists during the Cold War\, to the emergence of dissident scientists such as Fang Lizhi and the migration of Chinese students/scientists to the US during the reform era. Revisiting John Fairbank’s impact-response thesis\, it argues that we need to examine both how the world changed China and how China changed the world in science and technology. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Asia Center Science and Technology Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Workshop: The Birth of the Chinese Population
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Malcolm Thompson\, An Wang Postdoctoral Fellow\nDiscussant: Gail Hershatter\, Professor of History\, UC–Santa Cruz \nAbstract: What kind of problem is “the population problem” in China? That it would be a problem\, or at least an issue\, seems clear\, but this tells us little about how\, or why\, it was specifically problematized there for the first time in the 1920s and 1930s. This talk—which is based on a book project of the same name—will seek to explain the sudden emergence of the population problem in China in this period not as a realization of something obvious\, but as part of a general transformation of governing as a social practice.

SUMMARY:Playing by the Informal Rules: Why the Chinese Regime Remains Stable despite Rising Protests
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation for a discussion with Yao Li\, China Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center\, author of Playing by the Informal Rules: Why the Chinese Regime Remains Stable despite Rising Protests. Elizabeth Plantan\, China Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ash Center\, will serve as a respondent. Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\, HKS\, will moderate. \n\n\n\nGrowing protests in non-democratic countries are often seen as signals of regime decline. China\, however\, has remained stable amid surging protests. Playing by the Informal Rules highlights the importance of informal norms in structuring state-protester interactions\, mitigating conflict\, and explaining regime resilience. Drawing on a nationwide dataset of protest and multi-sited ethnographic research\, this book presents a bird’s-eye view of Chinese contentious politics and illustrates the uneven application of informal norms across regions\, social groups\, and time. Through examinations of protests and their distinct implications for regime stability\, Li offers a novel theoretical framework suitable for monitoring the trajectory of political contention in China and beyond. Overall\, this study sheds new light on political mobilization and authoritarian resilience and provides fresh perspectives on power\, rules\, legitimacy\, and resistance in modern societies.

SUMMARY:Shirley Yu - The Belt and Road Initiative: A Discussion of China's Vision and Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Shirley Yu\, Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center Fellow\nModerator: Anthony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs\n \nThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)\, the signature foreign policy by Xi Jinping has served as China’s grand strategy since 2013\, when the idea first arose\, and it will remain relevant until around 2050\, when China is predicted to reach “modernity.” If successfully carried out\, by the second half of the Century\, the ambition is that China would return to its ancient Middle Kingdom status as the center of all nations\, equivalent to a Pax-Sinica.  \nThe BRI is conceptualized as a two-pronged strategy. One is “to maximize engagement with China’s economic growth and power\,” and the other is to build a “community of common destiny for humanity.” One vision is clearly economic\, and the other\, political. The success of the BRI is contingent upon the cohesion and the achievement of both visions in its entirety. The first vision can be empirically achievable. The prevalence of authoritarianism and flawed democracies in the BRI region essentially provides China with the ideal political incubator to expand its model of authoritarian capitalism. The second BRI vision\, a world community built upon a moral order prescribed by Confucianism and communism\, is challenging and important to elucidate by the liberal West\, as this set of defining values will illuminate the fundamental systemic challenges to liberal market capitalism and liberal political order. This talk aims to demystify the two-pronged BRI strategy and its sustainability.   \n

SUMMARY:Alex Wang - Symbolic Legitimacy and Chinese Environmental Reform
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alex Wang\, UCLA \nAt the heart of debates over Chinese rule of law is the question of state legitimacy. Critics argue that legitimacy requires liberal democratic rule of law. Chinese leaders have long relied on performance legitimacy – economic development and maintenance of social stability – as the core basis of their rule. Western scholarship on modern Chinese law and politics has\, to a significant degree\, critiqued the ability of China’s current institutions to perform as claimed. \nBut apart from any actual results that Chinese governance may generate\, the entire project of governance reform can be structured in a way that influences public impressions of state legitimacy. The process of reform is not only about attaining performance goals\, but is itself a kind of performance. This act of “performing performance” also signals competence\, commitment to the people\, tradition\, nationalist strength\, and a host of other positive values to citizens and other audiences. \nThis talk explores the symbolic aspects of Chinese environmental reform and potential implications\, drawing on case studies in air pollution\, climate change\, and China’s Belt & Road Initiative. \nAlex Wang is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law\, and a leading expert on environmental law and the law and politics of China. His research focuses on the social effects of law\, and the interaction of law and institutions in China and the United States. His previous research has examined\, among other things\, the institutional design of environmental law and policy\, environmental bureaucracy\, public interest litigation\, information disclosure\, and environmental courts. His work has addressed air pollution\, climate change\, and other environmental issues. \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the East Asian Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School.

SUMMARY:Susan Greenhalgh - Coca-Cola in China: the Role of Foreign Industry Funding in China’s Health Science and Policy
DESCRIPTION:Susan Greenhalgh is the John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society in the Anthropology Department at Harvard University. She is an author\, anthropologist\, and specialist on contemporary China. Greenhalgh’s work has been recognized by several life-time career achievement awards. The BMJ recently published her article titled “Making China Safe for Coke: How Coca-Cola Shaped Obesity Science and Policy in China.” The article sheds light on a rarely discussed controversy within China’s health field over the use and effects of industry funding. On one side are those who maintain that\, with the National Commission on Health overburdened by many health crises\, corporate funding is badly needed and does not color the science because China’s researchers know the difference between good and bad science. On the other side are those who believe that any corporate funding invariably affects the science that is done\, usually with unfortunate results. Who is right? This debate will be the focus of the upcoming China Health Partnership seminar. Please read Professor Greenhalgh’s article (https://www.bmj.com/content/364/bmj.k5050) and join us for lively discussion

SUMMARY:Başak Bilecen - Chinese International Students’ Networks at Elite Universities: A Comparative Study of Germany and the US
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Başak Bilecen\, Rosalind Franklin Assistant Professor of Sociology\, University of Groningen\nChair: Muriel Rouyer\, Adjunct Professor of Public Policy\, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation\, Harvard Kennedy School; Local Affiliate\, CES\, Harvard University \n In migration scholarship\, the role of social networks has been well-established in people’s decisions on whether to migrate and where to migrate to. Recently\, international student mobility literature has shown that networks\, parental aspirations and socio-economic background play an important role in an individual’s study-abroad decisions. Over the past few decades many countries\, including Germany and the United States\, have witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of international students applying to universities\, with the majority coming from China. Based on personal network analysis and qualitative interviews with Chinese international students enrolled at elite universities in Germany and in the US\, Başak Bilecen will compare and contrast how networks effect study abroad decisions. She will show that these decisions are based on the networks of the individual students as well as their country of origin and the educational institutions. \nhttps://bit.ly/2XC5KTL

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.

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:Anne Reinhardt - Navigating Semi-Colonialism: Shipping\, Sovereignty\, and Nation-Building in China 1860-1937
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Anne Reinhardt\, Williams College \nChina’s status in the world of expanding European empires of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has long been under dispute.  Its unequal relations with multiple powers\, secured through a system of treaties rather than through colonization\, has invited debated over the degree and significance of outside control and local sovereignty.  In this talk\, Anne Reinhardt will discuss her recent book\, Navigating Semi-colonialism: Shipping\, Sovereignty\, and Nation-Building in China\, 1860-1937\, which examines steam navigation as a constitutive element of the treaty system in order to elucidate both conceptual and concrete aspects of the semi-colonial regime.
