SUMMARY:Michael Enright - The Greater Bay Area\, Regional Integration\, and the Future of China
DESCRIPTION:Read event summary here \nSpeaker: Michael Enright\, University of Hong Kong \nChina’s Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a landmark in China’s regional development strategy as well as an attempt to foster integration of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions into the rest of the PRC. However\, the GBA Plan is just one of several regional integration initiatives that promise to change the economic and potentially the political landscape of China. Professor Michael Enright will assess the overall regional integration strategy and then focus in on the GBA to discuss the potential for the region\, the GBA Plan\, and the possibility for greater integration within the GBA in the context of China’s plans\, US-PRC tensions\, and internal challenges in the region. \nProfessor Michael Enright (AB ’80\, MBA ‘ 86\, PhD\, 91) is a Professor at the University of Hong Kong and a Director of Enright\, Scott & Associates consultancy. His works include Creating the Future of the Greater Bay Area (2019)\, Developing China: The Remarkable Impact of Foreign Direct Investment (2017)\, Australia: From Lucky Country to Competitive Country (2012)\, China Into the Future: Making Sense of the World’s Most Dynamic Economy (2008)\, Regional Powerhouse: The Greater Pearl River Delta and the Rise of China (2005)\, Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta: The Economic Interaction (2003)\, and The Hong Kong Advantage (1997). Before moving to Asia in 1996\, Enright spent 6 years on the faculty of the Harvard Business School. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series

SUMMARY:Cobus van Staden - China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Africa: Lessons for Central Asia
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cobus van Staden\, Senior Researcher on China-Africa relations\, South African Institute of International Affairs. \nBefore the Belt and Road Initiative became the heart of Chinese foreign engagement\, China was already active in Africa. The lessons it learned in building railways\, ports\, and diplomatic networks on the continent helped to shape Beijing’s global rollout of infrastructure and influence. But how has China-Africa engagement\, and the subsequent BRI\, shaped African governance? Where and how does the continent exercise agency in dealing with China? And what lessons can Central Asia learn as it navigates the new landscape shaped by the BRI and China’s rise as a global superpower \n

SUMMARY:Valerie Karplus - China's Climate Policy and Air Quality: From Subnational to Global Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Valerie J. Karplus\, Assistant Professor of Global Economics and Management\, MIT Sloan School of Management \nChina’s future energy mix will have a decisive effect on the world’s ability to meet climate change mitigation goals. This talk will discuss China’s national approach to climate change\, and use a multi-scale modeling approach to analyze the effects of China’s climate pledge on the energy system\, greenhouse gas emissions\, air quality\, and human health. Projected air quality and health co-benefits in Japan\, Korea\, and the U.S. will also be presented. Taken together\, the findings provide a strong case for cooperation among China\, the U.S.\, and other Asian countries to support implementation of China’s climate goals.

SUMMARY:April Hughes — Apocalyptic Saviors\, Terrestrial Utopias\, and Imperial Authority: The Reign of Empress Wu Zetian (690-705CE)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: April Hughes\, Boston University \nThis talk examines the association between Wu Zhao of Great Zhou (Empress Wu Zetian) and Maitreya Buddha in a commentary on the Scripture of the Great Cloud (Dayun jing 大雲經\, T. no. 387) presented to the throne in 690 just prior to her being declared emperor. The Commentary quotes from Attesting Illumination (Zhengmingjing證明經\, T. no. 2879)\, a non-canonical apocalyptic scripture in which Maitreya appears during the chaos of the apocalypse in order to fight demons and save the wholesome. This apocalyptic worldly savior Maitreya rules over his terrestrial utopia without a Wheel-Turning King—thus he is simultaneously a political ruler and religious teacher. I argue that by associating Wu Zhao with this particular depiction of Maitreya\, she can also be seen as embodying both roles.

SUMMARY:Liu Jingfang - China’s Green Movement: Players\, Style\, and Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Liu Jingfang\, Associate Professor\, School of Journalism\, Fudan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2019-20\nChair/discussant: Karen Thornber\, Professor of Comparative Literature and of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University \nWhile China is transforming itself into an economic powerhouse\, it also suffers from dire environmental degradation and crisis. Behind the notorious images of Beijing’s grey sky and smog-obscured landmarks\, frequently portrayed in Western media\, what has been done inside of China trying to change the situation? Who has made efforts and how? This talk gives an introduction of the less-known but growing environmental movement undertaken by diverse players in China over the past two and a half decades. It will examine how the multiple agents and institutions of change interact with each other at different levels\, engage in special coping strategies\, and struggle to activate a green movement of its own style and nature. From a communication perspective\, it will examine\, both empirically and theoretically\, the elements that construct a growing “green public culture” in China and China’s unique path to environmental protection. \nhttps://harvard-yenching.org/events/china-s-green-movement-players-style-and-strategy

SUMMARY:International Implications from Contemporary Developments in Chinese Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nHamish Coates\, Professor\, Institute of Education and Director\, Higher Education Division; Deputy Director\, Global Research Center for the Assessment of College and Student Development\, Tsinghua University\nWen Wen\, Associate Professor\, Institute of Education\, Tsinghua University; Deputy Director\, Asian Research Center\, Tsinghua University; Fulbright Scholar (2019-2020)\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Harvard University \nDiscussants:\nManja Klemenčič\, Department of Sociology\, Faculty of Arts and Sciences\, Harvard University\nFrancesca Purcell\, Faculty Director\, Higher Education Program\, Graduate School of Education\, Harvard University \nWhile consequences from the growth of Chinese higher education have already reverberated around the world\, we argue in this seminar that further substantial changes are only just starting to emerge. \nThis seminar begins by showing how changes in Chinese higher education over the last two decades have shaped major developments in other countries. \nNext\, it analyses contemporary developments in Chinese higher education\, building on research being led by Tsinghua University’s Institute of Education which touches on institutional governance and leadership\, the construction of infrastructure\, the changing nature of doctorates and the academic profession\, research goals and strategies\, emerging hybrid forms of teaching\, and the cultivation of students. \nThe seminar’s final contribution is to integrate these analyses and clarify emerging futures. Particular emphasis is placed on the nature of education and its contribution to the common good. \nhttps://universities-pastpresentfuture.mahindrahumanities.fas.harvard.edu/event/international-implications-contemporary-developments

SUMMARY:Film Screening - Jinpa
DESCRIPTION:Directed by: Pema Tseden\nQ&A with Director following the screening\, moderated by Benny Shaffer\, PhD Candidate\, Anthropology \nOn an isolated road passing through the vast barren plains of Tibet\, a truck driver who has accidentally run over a sheep chances upon a young man who is hitching a ride. As they drive and chat\, the truck driver notices that his new friend has a silver dagger strapped to his leg. He comes to understand that this man is out to kill someone who wronged him earlier in life. As he drops the hitchhiker off at a fork in the road\, little does the truck driver realize that their short time together has changed everything\, and that their destinies are inexorably intertwined. On the path of life\, sometimes we meet someone whose dreams overtake our own to the point that they converge. \nOfficial Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdK-yNrnQBk \nAbout the Director:\nWriter and director Pema Tseden was born in 1969 in Amdo\, a Tibetan region of Qinghai Province.

Tseden has published more than 50 short stories and novels both in Tibetan and Mandarin; his work has won numerous awards including the Drang-char Tibetan Literature Prize and has been translated into English\, French\, and German. He began his film career in 2002.

SUMMARY:Roger Shih-Chieh Lo - Redemptive Society and Cold War: Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) in Zhejiang\, Fujian\, and Taiwan\, 1949-1978
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Shih-Chieh Lo\, National Taiwan University; HYI Visiting Scholar\nChair/discussant: Michael Szonyi\, Harvard University \nThroughout the 20th century\, the two most influential redemptive societies in Chinese local society\, Tongshanshe (Fellowship of Goodness) and Yiguangdao (Persistent way) both suffered various level of crackdown from different regimes. From fieldwork and local archives\, however\, it is evident that these two redemptive societies played a very important political role in local society. In this talk of the development of Tongshanshe in Zhejiang\, Fujian and Taiwan during the cold war\, I will discuss the following three questions: first\, what is the significance of this redemptive society in local society during the cold war? Secondly\, besides the suppression of evil cults from the government\, what are the other undisclosed political interactions we can find from these local popular associations and national\, or even international\, politics? Finally\, what kind of new explanation about post-1949 history can be found from this local history study. \nHarvard-Yenching Institute lunch talk

SUMMARY:Faan Chen - Driving and the Built Environment: Is Transit-Oriented Development Effective in Shanghai?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Faan Chen\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard-China Project\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences\, Harvard University \nThe rapid growth of cities such as Shanghai in China has presented many transportation\, land use and climate change challenges for local government officials\, planning and transit practitioners and property developers. These challenges include traffic congestion\, energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that contribute to global warming. As one of the more visible urban forms of smart growth\, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has been actively promoted as a model for urban development in areas around transit stations to solve such challenges. The vast majority of studies of TOD have been conducted in North American and European cities\, while research of TOD is still in its infancy in most developing countries\, including China\, where residential and transport choices are likely to be more constrained and travel-related attitudes quite different from those in the developed world. Using the data collected from more than 8000 residents living in TOD and non-TOD neighborhoods in the city of Shanghai\, this study aims to partly fill the gaps by investigating the causal relationship between the built environment and travel behavior in the Chinese context\, and specifically to examine whether altering the built environment can actually lead to meaningful changes in travel behavior\, e.g.\, less Vehicle Kilometers Traveled (VKT) and GHG emissions. \nSponsored by the Harvard-China Project on Energy\, Economy\, and Environment\, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
