Recruitment, organization and control of sufficient amounts of labour have been essential to keep the Asian economies and societies going. This series aims at looking into these dynamics in depth, acknowledging the wide-ranging variety of social trajectories including labour values and cultural connotations, ecological constraints and different degrees of market orientations. The series aims to be a meeting place between experts from a variety of disciplines; from linguistics to history and social sciences. The core ambition of the series is to explain different types of labour (share cropping, wage labour, slavery, casual or precarious labour) within a wider cultural, economic and ecological context. Topics such as guilds, circulation of labour, gender stratifications, religious and ethnic identities or modes of labour control are all relevant to this approach. Other topics may be balancing these more structural considerations by departing from the workers’ perspectives and their actions: ranging from collective action and daily resistance to life cycles and their relationship to labour.

  • Science and Technology Policy Reforms in China - a Critical Assessment
    Science and Technology Policy Reforms in China - A Critical Assessment ERIK BAARK and LIU SUYING The last decade has been a period of stock-taking and new adventures for Chinese policies regarding science and technology. After the new leader- ship had established itself in the late 1970s, and it looked back on the achievements and the mistakes of previous years, there was a strong feel- ing of frustration with the fact that levels of technology in China continued to lag behind advanced countries. To inject vitality into what seemed to be a dormant, but potentially powerful, science and technology (S&T)system required reforms which, in many respects, were more radical than any- thing of the past. We have witnessed a process where the results of research appeared for sale on a market, where scientists became engaged as ))moonlightingcccon- sultants, and where private research units have become fashionable. At the same time, however, these reforms have provided fascinating insights into the structural barriers which exist for technological innovation in modern Chinese society. In many respects, the exposure of such barriers provides crucial clues to the formulation of better S&T policies in China. With this paper we hope to contribute to a critical assessment of the re- forms. We are concerned with the political support of the S&T policy re- forms. The S&T system established after 1949 on the basis of a Soviet model appears to have recovered quickly after the alledgedly shattering onslaughts of ideological anti-intellectualism during the Cultural Revolu- tion. The scientists had barely drawn a sigh of relief before new, ))market- orientedc forces were let loose on them in the 1980s.

  • Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

  • Honorary Doctor of Science Prof ZHOU Guangzhao
    Honorary Doctor of Science Prof ZHOU Guangzhao Chairman: Our first guest is a renowned physicist and a former President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Born in Changsha, Hunan Province, Prof Zhou Guangzhao read physics at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and then went on to Peking University for his graduate studies. Having taught at Peking University as a lecturer in physics for three years, he went to Moscow as a researcher at Dubra Joint Nuclear Research Institute in the former Soviet Union in 1957. During his stay in the Soviet Union, he began to publish articles in professional journals that won him international recognition. Upon his return to China in 1961, he was in charge of the Theoretical Department of the Nuclear Weapon Research Institute under the Ministry of Nuclear Industry. His research on the application of nuclear energy produced many significant results that contributed to the design and theoretical study of nuclear weapons and laid the ground work for the successful production of China’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs. In 1964, he was appointed Director of Nuclear Weapon Research Institute and then the Chief Engineer of the Ninth Bureau of China’s Ministry of Nuclear Industry. In 1982, Prof Zhou received the highest National Award for Natural Sciences in recognition of his pioneer work and important contributions in developing China’s nuclear weapons. In 1979, Prof Zhou became a fellow of the Institute of Theoretical Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was invited to visit the Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the United States in 1980 and the Centre for Nuclear Research in Europe in 1981.

    COVER The caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis (best known as Cordyceps sinensis), infects ghost moth larvae in the Tibetan Plateau alpine ecosystems. The fungus then erupts from the dead insect head to produce sexual fruiting bodies. The fungus-insect complex, called “winter worm, summer grass” in Chinese, has been used for centuries as a highly-valued traditional Chinese medicine. The failure to artificially culture the sexual fruiting body and overharvesting due to the huge market demand have propelled the fungus towards extinction. The biology of this fungus largely remains unknown, including how it infects the insect hosts and the details of its sexual life cycle in the field. How the fungus survives the extreme cold winter in Tibetan Plateau is also a mystery. Genome analysis indicated that the caterpillar fungus is sexually self-fertile, but its sexual stage is only inducible by the appropriate, yet unknown, environmental factors. Relative to other insect fungal pathogens, the fungus has evolved an extremely large genome but with fewer genes for its specialized lifestyle. Fungal adaptation to extreme cold is putatively associated with mechanisms for increasing lipid accumulation and fatty acid unsaturation as well as enhanced function of antifreeze proteins (see the article by HU Xiao et al. on page 2846).

  • U.S.-China Scientific Exchange: a Case Study of State-Sponsored Scientific Internationalism During the Cold War and Beyond
    ZUOYUE WANG* U.S.-China scientific exchange: A case study of state-sponsored scientific internationalism during the Cold War and beyond IN FEBRUARY 1972 President Richard Nixon of theUnited States embarked on his historic journey to Beijing. The dramatic tripnot only opened a new era in U.S.-China relations, but also began an exciting process ofmutual discovery be tween the two peoples. If it is true that, as the China scholar A, Doak Barnett wrote, "never in themodern period have twomajor societies been so isolated from each other for so long in peacetime," the end of the schism also brought forth unprecedented exchanges inmany walks of life, especially in academia.1 The geopolitical move by the two countries to counter Soviet aggression paved the way for interactions in science and other fields. The contacts flourished through the 1970s and expanded even furtherafter the establishment of diplomatic rela tions and the launching of China's economic reformsby the end of the 1970s. This intellectual open door proved to have profound social and political, as well as scientific, impact, especially in China, which had just begun to emerge from the devastating Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976. Despite itsconsiderable significance, scientificexchange has often been treated as a sideline inU.S.-China relations.
