The figures released by the Civil Affairs Ministry come amid continuing heavy downpours that have caused havoc across usually dry regions, including the capital Beijing. Already, 576 people have been recorded as dead or missing nationwide in the first half of the year. MALAYSIA’s prime minister says he is serious about good governance and his administration will “fully cooperate” with the U.S. Department of Justice in its probe into a USD3.5 billion scandal into a Malaysian state fund. Najib was speaking to reporters yesterday, a day after the U.S. Justice Department said it has initiated action to seize more than $1 billion of the stolen money that was allegedly used to buy assets in the U.S. by people close to Najib.

    © 2013 Yi-ling Lin CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT IN MISSIONARY CHINA: AMERICAN MISSIONARY NOVELS 1880-1930 BY YI-LING LIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral committee: Professor Waïl S. Hassan, Chair Professor Emeritus Leon Chai, Director of Research Professor Emeritus Michael Palencia-Roth Associate Professor Robert Tierney Associate Professor Gar y G. Xu Associate Professor Rania Huntington, University of Wisconsin at Madison Abstract From a comparative standpoint, the American Protestant missionary enterprise in China was built on a paradox in cross-cultural encounters. In order to convert the Chinese—whose religion they rejected—American missionaries adopted strategies of assimilation (e.g. learning Chinese and associating with the Chinese) to facilitate their work. My dissertation explores how American Protestant missionaries negotiated the rejection-assimilation paradox involved in their missionary work and forged a cultural identification with China in their English novels set in China between the late Qing and 1930. I argue that the missionaries’ novelistic expression of that identification was influenced by many factors: their targeted audience, their motives, their work, and their perceptions of the missionary enterprise, cultural difference, and their own missionary identity. Hence, missionary novels may not necessarily be about conversion, the missionaries’ primary objective but one that suggests their resistance to Chinese culture, or at least its religion. Instead, the missionary novels I study culminate in a non-conversion theme that problematizes the possibility of cultural assimilation and identification over ineradicable racial and cultural differences.

    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

  • Chinese Television Between Propaganda and Entertainment
    Chinese Television between Propaganda and Entertainment: Socialist Traditions, Marketisation and Popular TV Dramas, 1992-2017 by Yingzi WANG School of Social Sciences and Humanities A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University March 2019 © Yingzi WANG (2019) Abstract The ‘reform and opening’ policy initiated since 1978 has profoundly changed the operation and function of Chinese television. Following the accelerated market reforms from 1992, the production of Chinese TV programmes has become increasingly driven by ratings and oriented towards popular entertainment. Within this context, this project aims to examine how Chinese television has evolved over recent decades in response to wider political, economic and cultural changes in China, with a focus on prime-time television dramas broadcast between 1992 and 2017. It situates the analysis of TV dramas within the spectrum of two poles – propaganda and entertainment, aiming to explore how these TV programmes have continued to serve the propaganda imperatives of the Party-state, while at the same time responding to audience demands regarding entertainment. In order to map the changes and continuities exemplified by Chinese TV dramas, this project has adopted a mixed-method approach. This approach includes a systematic quantitative analysis to delineate long-term trends, and four qualitative case studies to establish a more thorough understanding of the detailed transformation in Chinese television. The thesis demonstrates that while Chinese television has become increasingly driven by commercial values that prioritise audience interests and popular elements, television entertainment in China still needs to align with official ideological lines.

  • 2016 China Overview – TV
    TV © 2016 Beyond Summits 2 Summary： • TV media market has tended to be saturated with almost 99% coverage rate in 10 years. However, Chinese are losing their interests in watching TV. The average age of real TV audience is getting older. The biggest proportion of TV audience is constituted by audience aged over 45 years old. The older TV audience are more likely to be heavy TV users. • In terms of TV programs, Chinese TV content is mainly produced by CCTV and provincial satellite TVs. However, TV production and broadcasting will further separate in the future, and high-quality content will be incline to broadcast through Internet platforms. Eventually, the number of TV audience will decrease. More people will choose to watch videos online instead of on TV. • Since 2014, the advertising on TV has seen a dropping trend. In the first half of 2015, TV ads even showed a negative increase. CCTV and provincial satellite TVs were still two major platforms for business to place ads into. © 2016 Beyond Summits 3 Summary： • In 2015，TV programs were mainly broadcasting about TV series, news and various shows，accounting for 57.1% of all programs. The top five provincial TV channels swept most high-rating programs. • The watching length of TV variety shows had a significant increase in 2015. Hunan Sat-TV variety shows' average rating was the highest in 2015. With the rapid development of variety shows and IP TV dramas, a rising trend of title sponsorship and ads were seen in 2015. • What users watch on TV is quite similar with what they watch online.

  • Ll Barnett Sometimes at Night When the Rain Is Pelting Down Like a Chorus of Mad Monkeys on Bongos, the Wind Howls in the Coconut Trees Just Like Rabid Rain Dogs
    A BUDDING LUNATIC’S SIDEWA JOURNEY THROUGH ASIA YS COLLECTIVE SWAGBILL BARNETT SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE RAIN IS PELTING DOWN LIKE A CHORUS OF MAD MONKEYS ON BONGOS, THE WIND HOWLS IN THE COCONUT TREES JUST LIKE RABID RAIN DOGS. INTRODUCTION As I get older the sheer randomness of life continues to keep me on the edge of my seat. In this case it was a good number of seats during a year spent on the road – out and about Asia-style, or more exactly, a virtual ThreeSixtyFive of trials, tribulations and flat out day- to-day weirdness. The journey into the future soon became a karma-laid mantra in the present. Whether to stay calm while trying not to get smacked straight in the face by clueless passengers carrying one of those oversized backpacks down an airline aisle, or to smile as I sustained a massive head injury when the Sumo wrestler in 14D fully reclined on take-off. At times I felt as though I was perpetually suspended upside down in a barrel of monkeys and even on arrival, danger was everywhere. It came under martial law as I hit the streets during a midnight curfew, it left me cursing delayed planes or just trying to recall where I’d parked the damned car at the airport. The thin red line turned ugly in 2014 and the tipping point is only a mildly aromatic memory, buried deep in cerebral lala-land. Readers of this possibly out of control and irreverent collection of tales may need to assume the ‘brace, brace, brace’ position, but trust me, no one is coming out unscathed.

The summer opening seems to have welcomed a foreign audience but also many Parisians spending August in the city. The design of the highly adaptable space has accommodated four very different settings, allowing the content of exhibitions to be presented in parallel with Henri Cartier-Bresson’s archives. The Pearls from the Archives programme, initiated with the Fondation’s Collections department, captures visitors’ attention, giving them an insight into the unique personality of Henri Cartier-Bresson.

In Mato Shanhai: Nihon chishikijin no “kindai” taiken (Demon capital Shanghai: The "modern" experience of Japanese intellectuals), trans. Joshua A. Fogel (Tokyo: Kdansha, 2000), 5-26. Sino-Japanese Studies 16 (2009), article 1. Abstract: In this introduction to his study of the role of Shanghai in the Japanese experience of modernity, Liu Jianhui lays out the contours of where the oddity that is Shanghai between the Treaty of Nanjing (1842) and the end of WWII came from. With spheres carved out of the city by Britain, France, and the United States on one side and the walled Chinese city of Shanghai on the other, there were two competing images that confronted the latecomer Japanese to the city.

In fact, this extraordinary English expression denotes someone kidnapped and impressed into service as a low-level sailor. A look in any dictionary under “Shanghai” reveals that, in addition to its meaning a port city in China, it bears the additional slang meaning, when used as a verb, of seamen getting someone drunk, taking him on board ship, abducting him, and coercing him into service as a sailor.
