    Submission to the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Parliament of Australia Inquiry on "The Link Between Aid and Human Rights" Submittee: John S. Aird Former Research Specialist on China United States Bureau of the Census 108 Delford Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland, USA 20904 Tel: 301-622-3163 E-mail: [email protected] Human Rights and Foreign Aid for Population Control in China Does the assistance provided by foreign governments and non-government agencies to China's family planning program serve the cause of humanrights and the purposes of human welfare or does it encourage the Chinese government in the belief, up to now evidently well-founded, that it can violate the human right of reproductive freedom flagrantly and on a grand scale without being called seriously to account? Organizations involved in delivering assistance to the Chinese program would probably maintain that it does more good than harm, but of course they have an interest in continuing and, if possible, expanding the scope of their operations. As parties at interest, their assessments of the consequences of their activities in China may be somewhat less than wholly objective. In fact, such organizations have in the past often followed what is probably a nearly universal bureaucratic practice of exaggerating success and suppressing bad news. For many years the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) denied that the Chinese family planning program was coercive and that implementation at the local level was anything but voluntary. Both agencies exhibited a conspicuous blindness as evidence of coercion in the program was mounting.

  • W Poszukiwaniu Połowy Nieba – Kobiety W Polityce Chin
    Joanna Wardęga Uniwersytet Jagielloński W POSZUKIWANIU POŁOWY NIEBA – KOBIETY W POLITYCE CHIN Wstęp Na liście stu najpotężniejszych kobiet świata 2016 roku według magazynu „Forbes” znalazło się tylko pięć obywatelek Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej1. Trzy z nich to reprezentantki chińskiego biznesu: Lucy Peng, CEO grupy Alibaba, Dong Mingzhu z Gree Electric i Feng Ying Wang z Great Wall Motor Company Limited, ponadto Margaret Chan, pracująca dla Świato- wej Organizacji Zdrowia, oraz Peng Liyuan, małżonka prezydenta Xi Jin- pinga – ta ostatnia jako jedyna zbliżona do świata polityki. Pierwsza dama jest ceniona przede wszystkim za styl, talent muzyczny i działalność cha- rytatywną, a mimo to jej udział w życiu politycznym, jako pięknego tła dla męża, i tak wyjątkowo wyróżnia się na tle wcześniejszych, ukrywanych przed społeczeństwem małżonek chińskich przywódców. Na liście „Forbe- sa” uderza brak Chinek rzeczywiście reprezentujących świat polityki. Tym- czasem po drugiej stronie Cieśniny Tajwańskiej w maju 2016 roku prezy- dentem Tajwanu została po raz pierwszy kobieta – Tsai Ing-wen. Prezydent Tsai zajęła na wspomnianej liście 17. miejsce, nieco niższe od koreańskiej 1 Lucy Peng na 35. miejscu, Margaret Chan na 38., Peng Liyuan na 53., Dong Minzhu na 63., Feng Ying Wang na 69., The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women, „For- bes”, www.forbes.com/power-women (8.01.2017).

  • Timeline of Canada-China Relations
    Timeline of Canada-China Relations 加中关系时间表 Dr Scott N Romaniuk1 Postdoctoral Research Fellow China institute, University of Alberta 1 I thank my colleagues at the China Institute for their useful suggestions during the preparation of this work. 2 Preface 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and the People’s Republic of China (PRC, hereafter China). Bilateral relations between the two countries over the past five decades have presented marked cooperation and advances in areas of mutual interest yet considerable divergence and challenges. Decades before frequent high-level political visits, a significant level of interaction between people of both countries has taken place in various fields. This chronology illustrates the shifting dimensions of Canada-China relations, and the extent to which the relations have evolved over the years, bringing about both positive and negative outcomes for both countries. Canada and China have also cooperated through bilateral and multilateral channels on issues of global importance, raising awareness for some of today’s most pressing issues such as climate change and environmental degradation, and health and energy security. The historical record of Canada-China relations renders the friction associated with two disparate governance systems, and domestic and foreign policy imperatives. These include China’s assertiveness and its deep distrust of democratic systems, and Canada’s growing wariness of China’s expanding global influence. While Canada-China relations exhibit a myriad of challenges and uncertainty, the long and evolving relationship remains suffused with resilience, and some optimism for economic, social, political, and cultural engagement and furtherance. This timeline is based on a broad literature search, incorporating primary and secondary sources such as relevant print and online academic books, chapters, articles, and grey literature, including media and government reports, and archival material, primarily in English and Chinese.
