SUMMARY:FCCC In-person Talk: Why Common Prosperity is Needed More than Ever: How the Rural- Urban Divide Threatens China’s Rise by Scott Rozelle
DESCRIPTION:China has grown at a remarkable rate for the past four decades. The long-run plan for the nation is to continue steady growth over the next 15 years and achieve a level of high income. \nChina’s leaders know\, however\, that they face a challenge in keeping growth moving. It is no secret that China’s inequality is one of the highest in the world. China’s leaders are clearly well informed of this challenge\, and\, in no small part in response to this challenge\, have launched a major new policy effort called Common Prosperity. \nWe believe that to develop an environment in China in which all residents will be able to enjoy the prosperity that the nation is moving towards\, the it is essential to include a major effort in the area of Early Childhood Development (ECD) … with the most a focus on the rural population. \nThis presentation’s main goal is to illustrate that Common Prosperity should begin by solving China’s biggest problem of it little people (young rural children). To do so\, we will have five specific objectives. First\, we will summarize the literature that shows that having a well-educated labor force is essential for helping a nation’s economy move from middle to high income. Second\, we will show that there is high inequality in the levels of education in China. The paper will illustrate how poor ECD outcomes are a very important reason underlying the poor levels of education in China’s rural schools. Third\, we will demonstrate that there is a serious problem of poor ECD outcomes across broad swaths of rural society. Fourth\, we will document that one of the major sources of this problem is the absence of psycho-stimulating inputs by caregivers to their young children. Finally\, we will document that there are clear solutions to these problems and conclude that the government needs to take rapid action to launch parental training programs across rural China in the very near future. \nTo meet these objectives\, we will draw on the findings of literature as well as data sets that have been collected by myself and my colleagues. These sources of information will provide high quality empirical evidence that will show that Common Prosperity should focus serious attention on rural families and provide them with the training and support so all rural children can grow up in an environment in which they can thrive. \nWe also have NEW SURVEY results reporting on the optimism/pessimism of both the rich and the poor in China … comparing three surveys in 2023 to surveys from 2004/2009/2014. \nAbout our speaker: Scott Rozelle holds the Helen Farnsworth Endowed Professorship at Stanford University and is Senior Fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute (FSI) for International Studies and is Co-Director of the Stanford Center on China’s Economy and Institutions (SCCEI). Professor Rozelle\, a development economist with a Ph.d. from Cornell University\, has worked on the economics of rural China for nearly 40 years. Currently\, his work focuses on human capital and China’s future growth and development\, including issues of rural health\, nutrition and education\, including early childhood development.

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: 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. Gabuev’s own research is focused on Russian foreign policy with particular focus on the impact of the war in Ukraine and the Sino-Russia relationship.

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: 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: 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: 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. His academic research focused on media coverage of the China-Africa and Japan-Africa relationships\, as well as the use of media in public diplomacy in the Global South.

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 In-person Event: Is China Ready For A Return Bout With Trump? With Arthur Kroeber
DESCRIPTION:China is struggling to sustain economic growth amid a property market collapse\, burgeoning local government debt\, and weak consumer demand. Stimulus policies put in place since September may stabilize the economy but are unlikely to re-ignite growth.

But China’s export stars are menaced by Donald Trump\, who has promised to slap tariffs of 60% or more on Chinese imports in his second term. How serious are Trump’s threats to decouple the US and Chinese economies\, and how well is China positioned to respond to a second round of trade wars? \n\nAbout our speaker: Arthur Kroeber is the founder of the Gavekal Dragonomics economic research service\, and author of China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know.
