SUMMARY:FCCC Talk:  China’s economic growth: the short view and the (very) long view by Bert Hofman
DESCRIPTION:China is now the second largest economy in the world\, and its growth prospects are of key concerns. In the short term\, China’s growth projections are clouded by the war in the Ukraine and resurgence of COVID-19. In the long run\, demographics\, trade and tech wars and the shift to “high quality” growth will determine how fast China can grow. Bert Hofman will discuss both the short and long run of China’s growth\, and whether China’s economic policies are sufficient to deliver on both. \nAbout our speaker: Bert Hofman is the director of the East Asian Institute and Professor of Practice at the Lee Kuan Yew School at the National University of Singapore. Before joining NUS in 2019\, 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 2014-2019\, the country economist for China 2004-2008\, and the Chief Economist for the World Bank in East Asia and Pacific 2011-2014.

SUMMARY:FCCC Talk: Elite power struggles in China and the Soviet Union by Joseph Torigian
DESCRIPTION:The political successions in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao\, respectively\, are often explained as triumphs of inner-party democracy\, leading to a victory of “reformers” over “conservatives” or “radicals.” In his new book “Prestige\, Manipulation and Coercion”\, Joseph Torigian argues that the post-cult of personality power struggles in history’s two greatest Leninist regimes were instead shaped by the politics of personal prestige\, historical antagonisms\, backhanded political maneuvering\, and violence. Mining newly discovered material from Russia and China\, Torigian challenges the established historiography and suggests a new way of thinking about the nature of power in authoritarian regimes\, and how those trends may persist until the present day. \nAbout the speaker: Joseph Torigian is Assistant Professor at the School of International Service at American University in Washington\, D.C.\, where he researches the politics of authoritarian regimes with a specific focus on elite power struggles\, civil-military relations\, and grand strategy. He is also one of the leading experts in Sino-Russian comparative politics\, security studies and foreign policy. His latest book on elite power struggles in China and the Soviet Union after Stalin and Mao will be published in May. He is currently writing a biography of Xi Jinping’s father\, Xi Zhongxun. \nIf you want a copy of his new book\, click here:\nPrestige\, Manipulation\, and Coercion\nElite Power Struggles in the Soviet Union and China after Stalin and Mao\nJoseph Torigian

SUMMARY:FCCC Talk: The impact on East Asia of Russia's war in Ukraine by James Brown
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, Japan had been trying strenuously to improve and strengthen its relations with Russia. Japan had hoped to regain its Northern Territories through negotiations with Russia. It also aimed to discourage Russia from forging ties with China that had already become too close for comfort for Japan. However\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has fundamentally shaken the basis of this strategy. James Brown\, an expert on Japan-Russia relations and associate professor at Temple University’s Japan Campus\, explains how Russia’s war in Ukraine has changed the political landscape of Japan\, Russia and China relations\, as well as its impact on Japan’s economy and security.
