Five years later, and coincidentally in the same month, that initiative is well on its way and I am delighted and honoured to be a part of this conference and initiative that I have supported since then. The genesis of modern global economic development was built on the foundations of Trade. The evolution of Trade transactions as we know it today was founded in Renaissance Italy by the Medicis when they set up the first Trade representative office for Acceptance Financing in Barcelona to support their Trading posts of Genoa and Venice, the then hubs of Trade. Life was much simpler then. The Western Hemisphere had not been discovered and the global economy at the time was not vulnerable to systemic shocks. Today the world‘s economy is generally in a state of malaise in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) that started in 2008. It has created an existential crisis in Europe with its sovereign debt crisis and painful austerity measures exposing underlying contradictions in the European Union that has become increasingly fragmented. The United States as the largest economy, is itself struggling to stimulate aggregate demand, reduce unemployment, and strengthen its Post World War II institutions in an effort to ensure retention of its fragile global economic supremacy. Notwithstanding the economic tremors in recent years, we find ourselves in the midst of a massive process of change as the global economy realizes that Asia, led by China as the second largest economy in the world, will now shape this planet‘s economic future. The debt problems facing the leading members of the OECD have not only led to a deep recession, but have also manifested into a much more ＊ Speech on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) Forum held in the City of Karamay in China on August 11, 2015. 1 serious economic problem than the Great Recession witnessed in 2007-2008. Asia must adapt and assert itself for its rightful role in this changing environment. Before I delve into the future course of the One Belt, One Road initiative and its impact on the global economic landscape, I would like to highlight the following seismic shifts we have recently witnessed: 1. 25 years ago and under the current multi-currency Reserve Management System, 65% of global Reserves were held by Developed countries and 35% by Emerging Markets (EM). Now the position is reversed with 67% of the world reserves held by Emerging Market economies, reflecting the economic role of Asia in general and China in particular. 2. According to SWIFT which monitors currency flows, the RMB in 2014 overtook the EURO to become the second most actively used currency to settle Trade Finance payments after the U.S. Dollar, and the 5th largest Payment settlement currency in the world. Shortly to become the 4th. 3. More than 50 Central Banks and Sovereign Wealth Funds have signed Agency Agreements with PBOC to invest in the Chinese onshore Bond market, evidencing confidence and trust in the RMB on a global basis. The State Bank of Pakistan was the 7th Central Bank to execute such an agreement in 2012 and activated it in 2013 to ease its balance of payments pressures faced at the time. China helped Pakistan during a difficult period. The UK government initiated such an investment in October 2014. While the above are only a few of the milestones driven by China in an effort to resolve global imbalances, lower capital flows, and FX fluctuations, we still face vulnerabilities towards restoring Public Trust and confidence in the International Monetary System in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Notwithstanding the GFC, the recent steps taken are a clear indication that China is taking the right steps. The renewed emphasis on its Western borders indicates the intent to revive the ancient Silk Route which once passed through Urumqi that will have far reaching and positive long term implications emanating from trade in the region with an illustrious history. In the context of the current global challenges, perhaps this direction will help facilitate the needed decoupling from OECD markets so that Asia is not just a factory to the world, but also generates its own demand for the products it creates. Global imbalances need to be reduced and new markets in Asia need not only to be developed, but also to be integrated and connected. The downside of this integration is the vulnerability to external shocks by events taking place in far-away 2 October 2015 Vol. 2, No. 4 markets. We must prepare for such events. Given the seriousness of the debt problems facing some of the developed economies, many developing countries have already faced a fall in exports, experienced speculative capital flows replacing more stable FDI, and Trade Financing choking up.

    Clara Wing-chung Ho FUSHI: THE SECOND SEX AND THE THIRD SEX IN TRADITIONAL CHINA* A Double Meaning of Fushi If we borrow the Western concept to describe women as the second sex in Chinese history,1 then eunuchs could certainly be understood as the third sex.2 The third sex was an artificial one. It was the first sex, male, aiming to ensure the chastity of the second sex, who created a third sex. In imperial families, castration of male attendants made it possible to prevent palace * The author gratefully acknowledges Professor Kwai-cheung Lo, who read the first draft of this article and offered many valuable comments. An earlier version of this article was presented at the workshop “The Future of Chinese Gender Studies in Europe, Asia and the United States” held in Luxembourg, June 24-26, 2005. The author also acknowledges all the constructive comments and suggestions given by the workshop participants, Professors Harriet Zurndorfer and Angela Ki Che Leung in particular. The author is also grateful to Professor Paolo Santan- gelo and Dr. Donatella Guida for their editorial assistance. The shortcomings of the final ver- sion are, of course, the author’s own. 1 Simone de Beauvior’s (1908-1986) Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex) was first published in French in 1949. Employing biological, psychological and historical analysis, it explains how the men-women relation was compared to the master-slave relation. The book was soon trans- lated into many languages and became a major and well-known reference on gender studies in the second half of the 20th century.

    Negotiation Philosophy in Chinese Characters

    6 Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Negotiator: What Chinese Characters Have to Offer Negotiation Pedagogy Andrew Wei-Min Lee* Editors’ Note: In a project that from its inception has been devoted to second generation updates, it is instructive nonetheless to realize how much we have to learn from the past. We believe Lee’s chapter on Chinese characters and their implications for negotiation is groundbreaking. With luck, it will prove to be a harbinger of a whole variety of new ways of looking at our field that will emerge from our next round of discussion. Introduction To the non-Chinese speaker, Chinese characters can look like a cha- otic mess of dots, lines and circles. It is said that Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, and since there is no alpha- bet, the struggling student has no choice but to learn every single Chinese character by sheer force of memory – and there are tens of thousands! I suggest a different perspective. While Chinese is perhaps not the easiest language to learn, there is a very definite logic and sys- tem to the formation of Chinese characters. Some of these characters date back almost eight thousand years – and embedded in their make-up is an extraordinary amount of cultural history and wisdom. * Andrew Wei-Min Lee is founder and president of the Leading Negotiation Institute, whose mission is to promote negotiation pedagogy in China. He also teaches negotiation at Peking University Law School. His email address is an- [email protected]. This article draws primarily upon the work of Feng Ying Yu, who has spent over three hundred hours poring over ancient Chinese texts to analyze and decipher the make-up of modern Chinese characters.

Why couldn’t we handle him? Why is it that between 1992 and 2016 we always resolved issues with US? Did you guys know? All the crisis, the Yinhe incident, bombing of the embassy or the mid-air collision, everything was taken care of swiftly, in no more than two months. Why? Now, I’m going to drop a bomb - because we had people up there [laughter] inside America’s core circle of power, we had our old friends.

  • Rooted and Rootless Pluralist Approaches to Truth: Two Distinct Interpretations of Wang Chong’S Account

    Rooted and Rootless Pluralist Approaches to Truth: Two Distinct Interpretations of Wang Chong’S Account

    Comparative Philosophy Volume 6, No. 1 (2015): 149-168 Open Access / ISSN 2151-6014 www.comparativephilosophy.org CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT DIALOGUE (1.2) ROOTED AND ROOTLESS PLURALIST APPROACHES TO TRUTH: TWO DISTINCT INTERPRETATIONS OF WANG CHONG’S ACCOUNT BO MOU In this article, I suggest a distinct “pluralist” interpretation of Wang Chong’s account while engaging McLeod’s “pluralist” interpretation (McLeod 2011); my interpretation is essentially a substantial extension of my previously suggested general account of truth (Mou 2009) in view of relevant resources in classical Chinese philosophy as well as Wang Chong’s texts. In the following discussion, my strategy is this. First, I will positively suggest one interpretation of Wang’s account and explain how this interpretation is related to a general approach to the philosophical issue of truth, substantive perspectivism. Second, in view of the previous explanation, I will discuss my agreements and disagreements with McLeod, thus giving an engaging analysis of the two interpretations as two distinct pluralist approaches that I render respectively “rooted” and “rootless”. Third, I will give a brief examination of explanatory forces of the two interpretations in several connections. 1. It is a textual fact (as highlighted in McLeod 2011) that, in the classical text Lun- Heng, Wang Chong (王充 27-97? CE) in the Han dynasty comprehensively resorted to the general notion of shi (實 whose literal sense or basic by-default meaning is “actuality” or “reality”) and treated capturing shi (實) as one general thing to unify what underlines the adequacy of any accounts, both moral ones, where shi and its contrary xu (虛) (emptiness, the untrue or falsity) are pointed to respectively by the terms shi (是 right) and fei (非 wrong), and non-moral ones concerning the inclusive ________________________ MOU, BO: Professor, Department of Philosophy, San Jose State University, USA.
