SUMMARY:FCCC In-person Event: A talk about the book "The Peking Express: The Bandits Who Stole a Train\, Stunned the West\, and Broke the Republic of China" by author James Zimmerman
DESCRIPTION:The Peking Express is an exciting and fast-paced story about China’s great train robbery of 1923 and full of banditry\, political intrigue\, heroism\, and a reflection of the excesses of the Warlord Era in early 20th century China. \nThe crisis — covered extensively in newspapers around the world — lasted for six weeks while the bandits moved the hostages across the Shandong countryside with the Chinese army in pursuit. The 1923 incident that is the subject of the book has implications for today\, including the use of hostage diplomacy for leverage against foreign governments\, the scourge of systemic corruption\, and the challenges of dealing with poverty and the widening economic divide. The same and similar issues that confronted those in power in 1923 continue to bedevil those in power today. \nJames\, has lived and worked in Beijing for over 25 years\, and previously served four terms as the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China.

SUMMARY:FCCC Spring Party 2023 (Winter Party 2022 before)
DESCRIPTION:The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of China had to postpone its annual Winter Party 2022 due to China’s dramatic exit from zero-Covid in December. The Winter Party 2022 now reincarnates as the Spring Party 2023 and will take place after the Two Sessions wrap up. \nOn March 25 at 12:30 PM\, the FCCC will host a Vietnamese buffet lunch with free flow of soft drinks\, beer and wine at Susu Longfusi\, and invites members and friends to join us. Susu’s entire second floor will be reserved exclusively for us. \nAfterwards\, those who feel like it might want to continue at neighboring Jing A Longfusi. Tickets purchased for the party in December remain valid. For those who haven’t yet secured their spot\, tickets are on sale again. FCCC members can purchase a maximum of TWO tickets.
