SUMMARY:Exhibition - Treasures of the Za Library
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition in the first floor lounge of CGIS South features a selection of treasured items from the collection of the Za Library (Zashuguan 雜書館) and from the Harvard-Yenching Library. The Za Library is the biggest privately-owned library in mainland China that is open to the public. The Harvard librarians have also made available a small selection from the vast collection of the Harvard-Yenching Library as an accompaniment and complement of the Za Library materials on display. There are Tang manuscript copies\, Song printed editions\, Liao and Xixia printed sutras (in Chinese and Tangut)\, Ming and Qing clan lineages and local gazetteers\, autographs by prominent late Qing and early Republican personages\, and a large trove of popular materials from the late nineteenth through early twentieth century. The joint exhibition is designed to give the audience a taste of these two excellent library collections and to prompt us to reflect on the nature and significance of archival and private collecting in modern China. \nWith thanks to Xiaofei Tian\, Wilt Idema\, Gao Xiaosong\, Xiaohe Ma\, Sharon Yang\, Michael Szonyi\, Daniel Murphy\, and Marian Lee. Curated by James Evans\, Xiao Ge\, and Annie Wang.

SUMMARY:Christian de Pee - Losing the Way in the City: Cities and Intellectual Crisis in Eleventh-Century China
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christian de Pee\, University of Michigan \nDuring the eleventh century\, literati endeavored for the first time to write the commercial streetscape. Literati of previous centuries had written the city in the past tense\, in tales of dissolute youth and in memoirs about capitals destroyed\, but had otherwise hidden urban streets behind a generic blur of dust and traffic. Literati in the eleventh century\, in contrast\, deemed the living streetscape a topic suitable for literary composition\, and they changed the topography of literary genres in order to make a place for the city in writing. As a new literary subject\, the urban streetscape afforded scope for original effects\, but literati also wrote the city for ideological reasons. On the written page\, they could set themselves apart—as individuals in the anonymous crowd\, as connoisseurs among spendthrift nobles—as they could not in the streets and markets of the dense metropolis. On the written page\, moreover\, they could conform the confusing movement of people\, goods\, and money to a moral economy of perfect circulation and equitable distribution. By the end of the eleventh century\, however\, both these ideological projects had failed. Literati found themselves encompassed by the relative values that they had tried to contain\, and debates about economic reform exposed the lack of objective criteria for the application of classical learning to practical policy. \nChristian de Pee is Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He is the author of The Writing of Weddings in Middle-Period China: Text and Ritual Practice in the Eighth through Fourteenth Centuries (2007) and co-editor of Senses of the City: Perceptions of Hangzhou and the Southern Song\, 1127-1279 (2017). He is currently a fellow at the International Institute for Asian Studies\, where he is completing an intellectual history of the city from 800 to 1100 CE and preparing to write a general history of eleventh-century China.

SUMMARY:Philippe Le Corre - China's Belt and Road Initiative: Impact and Perceptions in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Philippe Le Corre\, Research Associate\, HKS Ash Center\nModerator: Tony Saich\, Ash Center Director\, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs \nWhen China started promoting its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013\, Europe was always going to be a key destination for both the “Belt” and the “Maritime Road” with an open goal of targeting the European consumer market. While Beijing has tried to promote its initiative across Europe\, the BRI concept remains unclear to a lot of Europeans. In addition\, it has been hard to differentiate between Chinese foreign direct investments (with a total amount of EUR 17.3 billion in 2018\, mainly in the UK\, Germany and France) and BRI-related projects\, which have been scarce in the European Union – although the situation is quite different in the Balkans just outside the EU. Meanwhile\, the EU has launched its own connectivity strategy\, which makes Chinese objectives of offering to build infrastructures to European countries ever more challenging. \nLunch will be served. \nhttps://ash.harvard.edu/event/chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-impact-and-perceptions-europe

SUMMARY:Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard Law School Library staff invite you to attend a book talk and discussion in celebration of the recent publication of Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation\, edited by Jerome A. Cohen\, William P. Alford & Dr. Chang-fa Lo. \nJerome A. Cohen\, Professor\, NYU School of Law and Faculty Director\, NYU U.S.-Asia Law Institute.\nDr. Chang-fa Lo\, former Grand Justice of the Constitutional Court of the ROC (Taiwan) and former Dean\, National Taiwan University Law School.\nWilliam P. Alford\, Vice Dean for the Graduate Program and International Legal Studies\, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of Law\, Director\, East Asian Legal Studies Program\, and Chair\, Harvard Law School Project on Disability. \nCommentators:\nSteven Goldstein\, Sophia Smith Professor of Government\, Emeritus\, Smith College and Fellow\, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.\nDr. Yu-Jie Chen\, Academia Sinica (Taiwan).\nDan Zhou\, LL.M. ’16 and SJD candidate\, Harvard Law School. \nAbout Taiwan and International Human Rights: A Story of Transformation\n“This book tells a story of Taiwan’s transformation from an authoritarian regime to a democratic system where human rights are protected as required by international human rights treaties. There were difficult times for human rights protection during the martial law era; however\, there has also been remarkable transformation progress in human rights protection thereafter. The book reflects the transformation in Taiwan and elaborates whether or not it is facilitated or hampered by its Confucian tradition. There are a number of institutional arrangements\, including the Constitutional Court\, the Control Yuan\, and the yet-to-be-created National Human Rights Commission\, which could play or have already played certain key roles in human rights protections. Taiwan’s voluntarily acceptance of human rights treaties through its implementation legislation and through the Constitutional Court’s introduction of such treaties into its constitutional interpretation are also fully expounded in the book. Taiwan’s NGOs are very active and have played critical roles in enhancing human rights practices. In the areas of civil and political rights\, difficult human rights issues concerning the death penalty remain unresolved. But regarding the rights and freedoms in the spheres of personal liberty\, expression\, privacy\, and fair trial (including lay participation in criminal trials)\, there are in-depth discussions on the respective developments in Taiwan that readers will find interesting. In the areas of economic\, social\, and cultural rights\, the focuses of the book are on the achievements as well as the problems in the realization of the rights to health\, a clean environment\, adequate housing\, and food. The protections of vulnerable groups\, including indigenous people\, women\, LGBT (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, and transgender) individuals\, the disabled\, and foreigners in Taiwan\, are also the areas where Taiwan has made recognizable achievements\, but still encounters problems. The comprehensive coverage of this book should be able to give readers a well-rounded picture of Taiwan’s human rights performance. Readers will find appealing the story of the effort to achieve high standards of human rights protection in a jurisdiction barred from joining international human rights conventions.” — Springer \n

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion - Ten Years of Healthcare Reform in China: Progress and Gaps in Universal Health Coverage
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nWinnie Yip\, Professor of the Practice of International Health Policy and Economics\nBarry Bloom\, Joan L. and Julius H. Jacobson Research Professor of Public Health\nWilliam Hsiao\, K.T. Li Research Professor of Economics\nHong Wang\, Senior Program Officer\, Gates Foundation \nIn 2009\, China launched major health-care reform to provide all citizens with equal access to basic health care with reasonable quality and financial risk protection. The Government quadrupled its funding for health\, expanded social insurance for all\, and encouraged local governments to conduct pilots to reform their health delivery system. In 10 years\,  China has made substantial progress in improving equal access to care and enhancing financial protection\, especially for people of lower socioeconomic status. However\, gaps remain. Professor Yip will be joined by a panel of speakers who will comment on future prospects for China’s health care system and will engage with the audience on lessons to be drawn for other countries aspiring to achieve universal health coverage.

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
