How should we think about the People’s Republic of China on the 75th anniversary of its founding? Join us for a series of panel discussions, talks, and documentary film screenings to contemplate the PRC’s past, present, and future. For the series opening night, a panel of Fairbank Center scholars—Joseph Fewsmith, Professor of International Relations, Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University, and Center Associate, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies; Anthony Saich, Daewoo Professor of International Affairs and Director, Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia, Harvard University; Yuhua Wang, Professor of Government, Harvard University; and Mark Wu, Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law and Director, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies—reflected on the PRC’s history, from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, and beyond. Atop the list of contemporary concerns: succession.
