SUMMARY:FCCC IN-person Event: Chinese Economy Policy in 2023 by Barry Naughton
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese economic policymaking process has finally emerged in the last couple of months. While policymaking is more coherent and better coordinated\, it still seems torn between conflicting objectives. In particular\, policymakers are no longer focused on economic growth.  Rather\, the drive to build industrial resilience in the face of American technology challenges has led them to emphasize the creation of a ‘Modernized Industrial System.’  This emphasis—along with the on-going housing recession and potential financial risks—is likely to weigh on Chinese growth prospects for the foreseeable future.\n \nAbout our speaker: Barry Naughton is one of the world’s leading experts on the Chinese economy. He specializes in China’s transitional economic policy-making\, with an emphasis on issues relating to industry\, trade and finance. His authoritative textbook “The Chinese Economy: Transitions and Growth”\, has been for years a reference for students at universities around the world\, including China. Naughton is the So Kwan Lok Chair of Chinese International Affairs at the School of Global Policy and Strategy\, University of California\, San Diego.

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).
