  • In Search of Laughter in Maoist China: Chinese Comedy Film 1949-1966
    IN SEARCH OF LAUGHTER IN MAOIST CHINA: CHINESE COMEDY FILM 1949-1966 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ying Bao, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Kirk A. Denton, Adviser Professor Mark Bender Professor J. Ronald Green _____________________ Professor Patricia Sieber Adviser East Asian Languages and Literatures Graduate Program Copyright by Ying Bao 2008 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a revisionist study examining the production and consumption of comedy film—a genre that has suffered from relative critical and theoretical neglect in film studies—in a culturally understudied period from 1949 to 1966 in the People’s Republic of China. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, it scrutinizes the ideological, artistic, and industrial contexts as well as the distinctive textures of Chinese comedy films produced in the so-called “Seventeen Years” period (1949-1966). Taking comedy film as a contested site where different ideologies, traditions, and practices collide and negotiate, I go beyond the current canon of Chinese film studies and unearth forgotten films and talents to retrieve the heterogeneity of Chinese cinema. The varieties of comedy examined—mostly notably the contemporary social satires in the mid-1950s, the so- called “eulogistic comedies,” and comedian-centered comedies in dialect and period comedies, as well as lighthearted comedies of the late 1950s and the early 1960s— problematize issues of genre, modernity, nation, gender, class, sublimity, and everyday ii life in light of the “culture of laughter” (Bakhtin) within a heavily politicized national cinema.

  • CHINA's IT LEADERSHIP Qing Duan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation Directed By
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: CHINA’S IT LEADERSHIP Qing Duan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ernest J. Wilson, III Department of Government and Politics With the rapid expansion of China’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector, there has emerged a strategic group of IT leaders. These IT leaders are characterized by their “amphibiousness”. On the one hand, they have become bridges that introduce Western concepts of competition and decentralization to China. On the other, they do not want to challenge the state because they feel comfortable with their personal ties to promote their business interests. They belong to the “non-critical realm” of social elites and have not coalesce d into a coherent and organized social force. Even though they may not represent an independently innovative force that would push for political change in China, they have become catalysts and have created part of the necessary conditions for political changes, for example enhancing institutional performance of the state and creating a forum for public debate and political participation of the grassroots. Therefore, they have a subtle political impact on state responsiveness and civic participation. By ca refully contrasting the autonomous, parasitic, symbiotic, negotiating, and amphibious actor models, this study of IT leadership in China emphasizes the creative aspect of politics —their visions, craftsmanship, and courage for ICT diffusion in China. In co ntrast with the top-down or bottom-up paths of Communist transitions in East Central Europe, the Chinese path seems to be grounded in the middle. The conclusion of this dissertation is that in a time of uncertainty, a strategic group of IT leaders starts to inspire and lead this nation in new directions like a spark when China is in desperate need of a systematic and convincing rationale and vision for its progress in an era of great transformation.

Tianjin, China Abstract—With the progress of science and technology, the development of social media websites is unprecedented. While changing people's communication way, it also brings certain influence to social life. At present, social media has become an essential part of students' daily life, and its academic impact on students depends on who uses it and how. In accordance with certain criteria, this paper searches the core database of Web of Science and obtains 17 and 11 independent samples respectively to study the correlation between the use of social media (entertainment or learning) and academic performance. The results show that: (1) the use of social media for learning is beneficial to improve students' academic performance, while the use for entertainment has a negative impact on academic performance; (2) the influence of social media use on students' academic achievement shows significant gender difference between the two groups. However, it did not change with students' country and survey time; (3) educational level only has a significant moderating effect on the correlation between social media (learning) and academic performance. Compared with middle school students, college students' academic. performance. 1 Introduction Studies have shown that academic achievement is affected by students' gender, age, education level, time spent on social media and other factors [4]. Moreover, 1.1 Research background and problems most studies have verified a significant negative The increasing popularity of the Internet is one of the most correlation between academic achievement and social important social and cultural phenomena in the 21st media, but some studies have pointed out that there is no century.

  • Do Not Fall for the Hype on U.S.-China Natural Gas Trade
    GETTY IMAGES/VCG Do Not Fall for the Hype on U.S.-China Natural Gas Trade By Melanie Hart, Luke Bassett, and Blaine Johnson April 2018 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Do Not Fall for the Hype on U.S.-China Natural Gas Trade By Melanie Hart, Luke Bassett, and Blaine Johnson April 2018 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 Beijing is currently leveraging natural gas imports to fill a reform gap 8 China already has 26 supplier nations, and U.S. shipments are more expensive than most 11 The United States has a geographical disadvantage exporting to China 15 The Trump administration is pushing investment deals that ignore current market trends 20 Trump administration’s natural gas export obsession risks forfeiting a much bigger game 24 Conclusion 25 About the authors 26 Appendix A: U.S. LNG export shipments to China as of year-end 2017 29 Appendix B: China’s natural gas reform timeline 35 Endnotes Introduction and summary The Trump administration frequently pushes natural gas exports in high-level talks with Beijing. Most recently, after threatening to impose tariffs on Chinese technology imports, some administration officials are stating that the tariffs can be reduced if China buys more U.S. natural gas.1 The Trump administration is pitching a very simple argument: If China imports more natural gas from the United States, that will help rebalance the U.S.-China trade deficit—which rose to a record $375.2 billion during President Donald Trump’s first year in office—and generate American jobs.2 In reality, that argument reflects a deep misunderstand- ing about how today’s global energy markets actually work.
