SUMMARY:[Postponed] FCCC Online Talk: Improbable Diplomacy: Science\, Culture\, and the Remaking of US–China Relations in the 1970s and Beyond by Pete Millwood
DESCRIPTION:In 1971\, Americans made two historic visits to China that would transform relations between the two countries. One was by US official Henry Kissinger; the other\, earlier\, visit was by the US table tennis team. Historians have pored over the transcripts of Kissinger’s negotiations with Chinese leaders. However\, they have overlooked how\, alongside these diplomatic talks\, a rich program of travel and exchange had begun with ping-pong diplomacy. Pete Millwood’s book Improbable Diplomats reveals how a diverse cast of Chinese and Americans – athletes and physicists\, performing artists and seismologists – played a critical\, but to date overlooked\, role in remaking US-China relations.\n\nIn this talk\, Millwood will introduce his recent book and connect this history with current developments in US–China relations\, including the lapsing of the historic US–China Science and Technology Agreement (STA) that was first signed in 1979 at the end of the rapprochement decade.\n\nPete Millwood teaches Chinese and East Asian history at the University of Melbourne. His first book Improbable Diplomats: How Ping-Pong Players\, Musicians\, and Scientists Remade US-China Relations (Cambridge University Press\, 2022)\, was recently released in paperback. He received his PhD from Oxford\, has taught at Tsinghua and the London School of Economics\, and held fellowships at Peking and Hong Kong universities and the Library of Congress. His writing has been published in academic journals and the Washington Post\, History Today\, and the South China Morning Post.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: FOCAC 9: join the co-Founders of the China Global South Project as they preview the key themes of the 2024 China-Africa Summit
DESCRIPTION:Chinese and African leaders will gather in Beijing during the first week of September for the triennial Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit. This year’s event comes at a pivotal time for stakeholders on all sides\, amid heightened great power competition\, China’s slowing economy\, and intense challenges brought on by climate change\, among other issues. African leaders will be coming to FOCAC with a long list of requests for increased Chinese economic engagement\, particularly for major infrastructure initiatives. But that may be a hard sell for the Chinese government\, which has cut back significantly on overseas development finance lending in Africa and other developing regions. Instead\, Beijing will be focusing on opening new markets for smaller-scale green and digital technologies and deepening political ties with African governments.\n\nJoin Eric Olander and Cobus van Staden\, hosts of the popular China in Africa Podcast and managing editors of The China-Global South Project\, for a lively discussion on the key themes that will be addressed at this year’s FOCAC. In advance of their talk\, you can listen and read all of CGSP’s coverage of FOCAC and download briefing reports written by Cobus that looks at the FOCAC summit from both African and Chinese perspectives:\n\n\n Taking Control: Africa’s Challenges and Priorities at FOCAC 2024\nChina’s agenda at FOCAC 2024: Climate\, Connectivity & Coalitions\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nEric Olander is a journalist with more than 30 years of experience reporting\, producing\, and managing newsrooms for some of the world’s leading editorial organizations\, including CNN\, FRANCE 24\, and the BBC World Service\, among others. He has an extensive background working in newsrooms and doing content production in the U.S.\, Europe\, Africa\, and Asia. China\, though\, has been the central focus of Eric’s professional career. He first went to China in 1989 and spent more than a decade of combined time living\, studying\, and working there. Eric is fluent in both French and Mandarin Chinese. He received his undergraduate degree in East African history from the University of California at Berkeley and a Master’s of International Public Affairs with a focus on Chinese foreign policy from the University of Hong Kong. \nCobus van Staden is an accomplished scholar\, journalist\, and think tank analyst with more than 20 years of experience in Africa and Asia. Previously\, he was the senior China-Africa researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) in Johannesburg. Cobus completed his Ph.D. in Japanese studies and media studies at the University of Nagoya in Japan in 2008. He focused on comparisons of Chinese and Japanese public diplomacy in Africa during postdoctoral positions at the University of Stellenbosch and the SARCHI Chair on African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy at the University of Johannesburg before joining the Department of Media Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2013.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: China before the Third Plenum: New reform push or business as usual? by Bert Hofman
DESCRIPTION:The Third Plenum usually sets the tone for China’s economic policies for the following five years. The high-ranking meeting should have taken place in November 2023\, but was postponed several times for unknown reasons. As of now the plenum is set to take place in July. \nSince shortly after the end of the zero Covid policy China’s economic development has been rather sluggish. Only recently the economy showed some signs of improvement\, but the country is not out of the woods yet. Now all eyes are on the Third Plenum of the Central Committee to see what policies the Communist Party announces. \nBert Hofman will give his assessment of the current state of the Chinese economy and will then outline what to expect from the plenum regarding possible reforms. \nAbout our speaker: Bert Hofman\, a Dutch national\, is the former director of the East Asian Institute of the National University Singapore and now professor at that institute. He was also a professor in practice at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of NUS. He is also a Senior Fellow at MERICS in Germany\, nonresident senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute\, and Member of the World Association for China Studies. Before joining NUS\, he worked with the World Bank for 27 years\, 22 of which in Asia\, and 12 of which on China. Mr. Hofman was the World Bank Country Director for China from 2014-2019.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: Compulsive Ambition: How The Desire for Self-Improvement Leads Young Chinese To Powerlessness\, With Xiang Biao
DESCRIPTION:Ambition\, or “the heart for moving upward and forward” (shangjinxin)\, is widely regarded as an unquestionable virtue in China. This perception of ambition\, however\, is relatively new for non-elite Chinese. In the talk\, Xiang Biao will examine why the desire for self-improvement is causing widespread feelings of powerlessness in China\, especially among youths. Underlying the current ways of being ambitious is the mismatch between political economy\, social norms and individual life experiences\, resulting in confusion and frustration. \n About our speaker: Born and raised in China\, Xiang Biao is currently a director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Germany\, and previously Professor at the University of Oxford. He has worked on migration and social changes in China\, India and other parts of Asia. His latest book (co-authored with Wu Qi) Self as Method: Thinking Through China and the World (2023) can be freely downloaded here https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/4340a9fd-60c4-40f3-ae70-6312dbeed4c2/978-981-19-4953-1.pdf.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: Mobilizing Patriotic Consumers: Chinese Boycotts as a Tool of Economic Coercion
DESCRIPTION:China has ramped up its use of nationalistic consumer boycotts against other governments as well as foreign companies. In this talk\, I discuss Beijing’s mobilization of patriotic consumers as a form of informal coercion\, allowing it to manage public sentiment for both domestic legitimacy and foreign policy goals. Patriotic consumer mobilization employs citizens as the unit of action\, facilitating manipulability\, uncertainty\, visibility\, and plausible deniability\, which lend potential coercive advantages. Citizens are mobilized via propaganda that underscores national humiliation\, frames boycotts as grassroots patriotism\, and signals resolve to foreign countries. I identify the constraints and conditions under which boycotts are more or less likely to be used\, and hence when governments and businesses should be most worried. Drawing on specific boycott incidents\, I analyze the varied economic consequences along with political effects. I then conclude with some implications for strengthening industry awareness of and resilience to potential boycotts. \n\nAbout the Speaker: Audrye Wong is an assistant professor of political science and international relations at the University of Southern California\, and Jeane Kirkpatrick Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Her research examines how states use non-military means\, including economic and informational tools\, to gain geopolitical influence. In addition to a book manuscript on China’s economic statecraft\, her other projects examine authoritarian informational statecraft\, foreign influence operations\, and the role of diasporas in international relations. Before coming to USC\, Audrye was a Grand Strategy\, Security\, and Statecraft Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and MIT. She received a PhD in Security Studies from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs\, where she was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. Audrye has held affiliations with Harvard’s Fairbank Center\, the Wilson Center\, the Brookings Institution\, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: China and Russia: A Complex Relationship by Alexander Gabuev
DESCRIPTION:Switzerland will host a high-level conference on June 15-16 aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine. But Moscow has dismissed the initiative as a waste of time. And Beijing\, which has strengthened its relationship with Russia\, has said it will also not attend the summit. Together with the renowned expert Alexander Gabuev we will unpack the complex relations between the two major absences at the summit.\n\nAbout the speaker: Alexander Gabuev is director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center where he leads a renowned team of analysts who were formerly part of the Carnegie Moscow Center\, which was forced to close by the Kremlin in early 2022 after nearly three decades of operation.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: “The Chinese Computer” works! by Thomas S. Mullaney
DESCRIPTION:The fascinating\, untold story of how the Chinese language overcame unparalleled challenges and revolutionized the world of computing. A standard QWERTY keyboard has a few dozen keys. How can Chinese—a language with tens of thousands of characters and no alphabet—be input on such a device? In The Chinese Computer\, Thomas S. Mullaney sets out to resolve this paradox\, and in doing so\, discovers that the key to this seemingly impossible riddle has given rise to a new epoch in the history of writing—a form of writing he calls “hypography.” Based on fifteen years of research\, this pathbreaking history of the Chinese language charts the beginnings of electronic Chinese technology in the wake of World War II up through to its many iterations in the present day. \nMullaney takes the reader back through the history and evolution of Chinese language computing technology\, showing the development of electronic Chinese input methods—software programs that enable Chinese characters to be produced using alphanumeric symbols—and the profound impact they have had on the way Chinese is written. \nAbout the Speaker: Thomas S. Mullaney is Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University and a Guggenheim Fellow. He is the author of The Chinese Typewriter: A History\, Where Research Begins\, and Coming to Terms with the Nation: Ethnic Classification in Modern China.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: The Political Thought of Xi Jinping
DESCRIPTION:In the talk\, Olivia Cheung will present the main findings of The Political Thought of Xi Jinping\, the new book she co-authored with Steve Tsang for Oxford University Press. She will offer a contextualized interpretation of the meaning of Xi’s major doctrines and concepts on the politics\, economy\, society\, and foreign policy of China. It is argued that the vision of Xi Thought can be distilled into two core elements or ambitions. The first is to create “one state\, one people\, one ideology\, one party\, and one leader.” The second is to make China great again and better than any other country in the world. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of China’s direction of travel under Xi and its implications for China and the world.\n\nAbout our speaker:\nDr Olivia Cheung is Research Fellow of the China Institute at SOAS University of London. She is the author of Factional-Ideological Conflicts in Chinese Politics: To the Left or to the Right? (Amsterdam University Press\, 2023; e-book gold open access) and co-author of The Political Thought of Xi Jinping (Oxford University Press\, 2024). Her current research project is on China’s Global Strategy.  She previously taught at the University of Warwick\, where she was Course Director for the MA in International Politics and East Asia.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: The Assemblage of Social Death: Digital Vigilantism and Cancel Culture in China by Qian Huang
DESCRIPTION:Online visibility has been increasingly weaponized to cause individuals’ “social death” (unrepairable damage to one’s reputation within a community/society) when perceived transgression or offense is committed. This trend is illustrated by the rising phenomenon of digital vigilantism and “cancel culture” across different cultural contexts.  Focusing on Chinese empirical cases\, Qian will present this topic based on her finished NWO Ph.D. project and more recent research. She will draw on various case studies to map out the dynamics among main actors/stakeholders and the public discourses about this phenomenon in China. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Qian Huang is an assistant professor at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at University of Groningen. She obtained her PhD in October 2022 from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research expertise includes digital vigilantism\, creative labour\, and youth digital culture. She is currently working on projects studying how cultural workers and general citizens negotiate their identities and manage their visibility in daily production practices in contemporary surveillance culture and influencer culture\, especially in transnational contexts.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Event. On the Edge: Feeling Precarious in China by Margaret Hillenbrand
DESCRIPTION:On the Edge is highly interdisciplinary\, fusing digital media\, art history\, literary criticism\, and performance studies with citizenship\, protest\, and labor studies. It makes both the distinctive Chinese experience and the vital role of culture central to global understandings of how entrenched insecurity and civic jeopardy fray the bonds of the social contract. \nExamining the volatile aesthetic forms that embody stifled social tensions and surging anxiety over zombie citizenship\, Hillenbrand traces how people use culture to vent taboo feelings of rage\, resentment\, distrust\, and disdain in scenarios rife with cross-class antagonism. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Margaret Hillenbrand is a professor of modern Chinese literature and culture at the University of Oxford. Her previous books include Negative Exposures: Knowing What Not to Know in Contemporary China (2020).

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: China’s Underground Historians and Their Battle for the Future
DESCRIPTION:The past is a battleground in many countries\, but in China it is crucial to political power. In traditional China\, dynasties rewrote history to justify their rule by proving that their predecessors were unworthy of holding power. Marxism gave this a modern gloss\, describing history as an unstoppable force heading toward Communism’s triumph. The Chinese Communist Party builds on these ideas to whitewash its misdeeds and glorify its rule. Join us for a talk with Ian Johnson on his new book\, Sparks: China’s Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future\, where he describes how some of China’s best-known writers\, filmmakers\, and artists have overcome crackdowns and censorship to forge a nationwide movement that challenges the Communist Party on its most hallowed ground: its control of history.\nAbout our speaker:\nIan Johnson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer\, researcher\, and senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. Johnson has lived in China for more than 20 years and has been following the country since first going there as a student in Beijing from 1984 to 1985. He worked as a newspaper correspondent in China from 1994 to 1996 with Baltimore’s The Sun\, and from 1997 to 2001 with The Wall Street Journal. In 2009\, Johnson returned to China\, living there until 2020 when he was expelled as part of worsening tensions between China and the United States.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk: How Chinese Citizens Currently View the World and its Implications for Global Actors by Reza Hasmath
DESCRIPTION:This talk provides a candid account of how the Chinese citizenry currently thinks about other nations\, and their relationship with China. It draws upon findings from the first iteration of the Chinese Citizens’ Global Perception Survey (CCGPS) conducted by the speaker in the first quarter of 2023. CCGPS 2023 is a national\, representative survey looking at mainland Chinese citizens’ perspectives on China’s current relations with global actors\, including\, Australia\, Canada\, EU\, France\, Germany\, India\, Japan\, Russia\, UK and USA. The talk will focus on discussing the major findings\, and potential policy implications\, pertaining to Chinese citizens’ (1) general global perception (e.g. trust in global partners\, perceived importance of global relationships\, likelihood of future military conflict); (2) views on China’s global roles and engagement (e.g. economic cooperation\, technological/research partnerships); (3) preferences for foreign tourism\, study\, work and emigration; and\, (4) knowledge of global jurisdictions\, and sources of information about global affairs. Suffice it to say\, how Chinese citizens perceive the world will have profound implications for China’s future domestic and international behaviour\, as well as for the global actors that intimately engage with China. \nAbout the Speaker: Reza Hasmath (Ph.D.\, Cambridge) is a Full Professor in Political Science at the University of Alberta. He has previously held faculty positions at the Universities of Toronto\, Melbourne and Oxford\, and has worked for think-tanks\, consultancies\, development agencies\, and NGOs in USA\, Canada\, Australia\, UK and China. His award-winning research examines how the behaviour of emerging Chinese state and non-state actors potentially affect salient theories\, practices and assumptions in international affairs.

SUMMARY:FCCC online Talk: Mike Chinoy on the trials and tribulations of foreign correspondents in China\, 1945-2022
DESCRIPTION:Reporting on China has long been one of the most challenging and crucial of journalistic assignments. Foreign correspondents have confronted war\, revolution\, isolation\, internal upheaval\, and onerous government restrictions as well as barriers of language\, culture\, and politics. \nMike Chinoy’s new book\, “Assignment China: An Oral History of American Journalists in the People’s Republic\,” tells the story of how foreign reporters (not only Americans\, despite the title) have covered China—from the civil war of the 1940s through the COVID-19 pandemic—in their own words. This includes testimony from many legendary correspondents and members of the Foreign Correspondent’s Club of China\, including some still active today. \nCovering over seven decades\, Chinoy’s book offers remarkable insights into how journalism has been and is done in China\, as well as the “near constant struggle” faced by correspondents to “test the boundaries\, challenge the restrictions on coverage at the heart of the com- munist system\, and explore parts of Chinese society that had long been off- limits. All the while\, the Communist Party sought to discourage or prevent them from doing so.” \n*About our speaker:* Mike Chinoy spent twenty-four years as a foreign correspondent for CNN\, serving as the network’s first Beijing bureau chief and senior Asia correspondent. He is the author of multiple books on China and North Korea\, as well as a biography of human rights lawyer and activist Kevin Boyle.
