The report also touches upon a wide spectrum of hot-button issues such as religious freedom, media regulations, human rights advocacy, internet censorship, and ethnic relations. Authors of individual topics have fully enjoyed their freedom of speech in penning the chapters, bearing testimony to Taiwan's pluralistic democracy. This symposium -- positioned as an observation report -- is committed to thoroughly examine and faithfully portray what happened in China in the previous year, without any exaggeration or reservation. We have endeavored to offer a true and comprehensive picture for readers to make their own judgment. The year 2011 saw China make some attempts in various fronts to uphold human rights. The authority proclaimed to be injecting more funding for the purpose, proposed amendments to criminal procedure laws, resolved to rectify deficiencies in the policy and statutes, acknowledged the need to improve on human rights protection, and even seemed willing to engage in human rights dialogues with the international society. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao at several public occasions also avowed to favor political reforms in pursuit of inclusive economic growth. In reality, however, there have been numerous incidents of injustice in health insurance, social security, workplace safety, education opportunity and the ban is still in place on independent workers unions. There has been widespread suppression of human rights: police brutality, illegal house © 2011 by Taiwan Foundation for Democracy ii China Human Rights Report 2011 arrest, judicial intervention in the trial process, stifl ing lawyers' dissenting voice and persecution of artists or human rights activists such as Ai Weiwei(艾未未) and Chen Guangcheng.(陳光誠) All in all, China's human rights record remains poor in its chaotic and contradictory establishment. China is considered one of the not free countries by international human rights watch organizations. Regarding economic and environmental rights, despite a series of corrective measures in fi nance, banking and housing sectors, wealth polarization between the rich and the poor has worsened. Housing justice seems unlikely to improve any time soon. Some Chinese people have likened their dwelling to an ant colony or a mouse nest. The shoddy management of air quality, sewage, noise, and traffi c in cities has been a constant source of complaints. Education opportunity for children from rural areas has long been scarce due to lack of resources and infrastructure. That limited chance for education is further hampered by the shackle of the household registration regime, profit-minded schools and an overly indoctrinating curriculum. For many rural children, equal access to quality education seems a remote dream. China's long-term restriction on religious activities, internet commentary, and research subjects has been far from international norms. In addition, Taiwanese business people in China still suffer human rights violation during judicial processes despite recently instituted guidelines on criminal detention, family notification, legal representation, length of detention, and release on bail. It is advisable for Taiwanese to bear in mind China's obsession with social order (maintaining stability and eradicating crimes) over human rights. One hot issue at hand is that Taiwanese business people with a pending civil litigation are barred from leaving China. Hence it is a priority to push for Taiwanese lawyers with Chinese credentials be allowed to practice law in China, litigation or otherwise. Also on the agenda is to clarify Taiwanese business people's rights under China's inheritance law and tax regimes. © 2011 by Taiwan Foundation for Democracy Foreword iii Everyone knows there is no utopia. The recent social upheaval and street protests, manifested in the Spring of Arab and during the Euro crisis, can be seen as people's revolt against and attempt to rectify undue social harms in their respective countries. The same malaise exists everywhere but shows different symptoms from country to country. For China, with a vast land and 1.3 billion people, tackling the diverged problems and complications could be daunting. The root cause could be in poor infrastructure design or in faulty enforcement. Some issues are intrinsic of the development process, others come from lack of understandings. Whatever the reasons, be it fl aws in institutional designs, too much or too little law enforcement, natural consequences of the developmental processes, or failures to grasp at the issues, it is fair that others offer critique and impose expectation upon China in the joint pursuit of a grand society which caters to people's needs and upholds human rights. China should welcome with open mind friendly advice and rational critique from Taiwan or around the world. Equipped with genuine good intent, rational approach and lofty ideals, the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, in collaboration with like-minded friends, has been dedicated to, and will continue to be, promoting democracy in the Asia Pacifi c, while nudging China to improve its human rights record.

Introduction In the first half of year 2012, two incidents shocked not only China, but also those observers of Chinese affairs. First was the flee of Wang Lijun, former Vice Mayor of Chungqing and believed to be close aide of Mayor Bo Xilai, to the American consular in Chengdu in this February, and Chen Guangcheng's entry into the American embassy trying to avoid human right abuse of the PRC government. These two incidents seemed to be irrelevant, it was however that two incidents turned out to be vexing issues bothering both Beijing and Washington. It showed that China has been in a high tide of fi erce power struggle among high-ranking offi cials and, during this critical juncture, political dissidents and human right defenders have been frustrated under severe suppressive situation. This tendency also helps to retort the PRC's allegation that China has been smoothly marching to the“ harmonious society" based on political stability after years of speedy economic construction. Wang Lijun's flee to the American Consular was involved into the Bo Xilai's scandals concealed by his drive of Changhong Dahei (sing red-songs and suppress gangs) in Chungqing, the largest and city in Southwest China. Bogu Kailai, Bo's wife, allegedly a suspect of making money-laundry and murdering the British businessman Neil Heywood, was now under the judicial procedure. It was alleged that Wang had solid evidences of the above-mentioned crimes *Ming Lee, Professor, Department of © 2011 by Taiwan Foundation for Democracy Diplomacy, National Chengchi University. 2 China Human Rights Report 2011 from Bo's family and Wang was wary of Bo's prosecution, he went to the American Consular and stayed there for 36 hours before he was fi nally received by offi cials from the Department of Public Security for further interrogations. Bo was immediately deprived of his position in the Politburo of the central Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee

  • Charitable Crowdfunding in China: an Emergent Channel for Setting Policy Agendas? Kellee S
    936 Charitable Crowdfunding in China: An Emergent Channel for Setting Policy Agendas? Kellee S. Tsai* and Qingyan Wang†,‡ Abstract Social media in China has not only become a popular means of communi- cation, but also expanded the interaction between the government and online citizens. Why have some charitable crowdfunding campaigns had agenda-setting influence on public policy, while others have had limited or no impact? Based on an original database of 188 charitable crowdfunding projects currently active on Sina Weibo, we observe that over 80 per cent of long-term campaigns do not have explicit policy aspirations. Among those pursuing policy objectives, however, nearly two-thirds have had either agenda-setting influence or contributed to policy change. Such cam- paigns complement, rather than challenge existing government priorities. Based on field interviews (listed in Appendix A), case studies of four micro-charities – Free Lunch for Children, Love Save Pneumoconiosis, Support Relief of Rare Diseases, and Water Safety Program of China – are presented to highlight factors that contributed to their variation in public outcomes at the national level. The study suggests that charitable crowd- funding may be viewed as an “input institution” in the context of responsive authoritarianism in China, albeit within closely monitored parameters. Keywords: social media; charitable crowdfunding; China; agenda-setting; policy advocacy; responsive authoritarianism We should be fully aware of the role of the internet in national management and social governance. (Xi Jinping, 2016) The use of social media helps reduce costs for …resource-poor grassroots organizations without hurting their capacities to publicize their projects and increase their social influence, credibility and legitimacy.

  • Here Their Loved Ones Are Being Held
    1 ACCESS DENIED Access Denied is a three-part report series that looks at the serious deterioration that has been happening to due process in China. This first volume,Access Denied: China’s Vanishing Suspects, examines the police practice of registering suspects under fake names at pre-trial detention centres, making it difficult or impossible for lawyers to access their clients or for families to know where their loved ones are being held. The second volume, Access Denied: China’s False Freedom, researches the ‘non-release release’ phenomenon, as first coined by US professor of law Jerome Cohen, in which prisoners, once freed from jail or a detention centre, continue to be arbitrarily confined by the police, usually at a secret location or at their home for weeks, months or even years. The final volume,Access Denied: China’s Legal Blockade, looks at the multitude of ways police employ to deny suspects legal assistance, including the use of threats or torture to force them into renouncing their own lawyer and accepting state-appointed counsel.

  • China During the Tang-Song Interregnum, 878–978
    China during the Tang-Song Interregnum, 878–978 This book challenges the long-established structure of Chinese history around dynasties, adopting a more “organic” approach which emphasises cultural and economic trends that transcend arbitrary dynastic boundaries. It argues that with the collapse of the Tang court and northern control over the holistic empire in the last decades of the ninth century, the now-autonomous kingdoms that filled the political vacuum in the south responded with a burst of innovative energy that helped set the stage for the economic and cultural transformations of the following Song dynasty. Moreover, it argues that these transformations and this economic and cultural innovation deeply affected the subsequent model of holistic empire which continues right up to the present and that therefore the interregnum century of division left a critically important legacy. Hugh R. Clark is Professor Emeritus of History and East Asian Studies at Ursinus College, Pennsylvania Asian States and Empires Edited by Peter Lorge, Vanderbilt University For a full list of available titles please visit: https://www.routledge.com/Asian- States-and-Empires/book-series/SE900. The importance of Asia will continue to grow in the twenty-first century, but remarkably little is available in English on the history of the polities that constitute this critical area. Most current work on Asia is hindered by the extremely limited state of knowledge of the Asian past in general, and the history of Asian states and empires in particular. Asian States and Empires is a book series that will provide detailed accounts of the history of states and empires across Asia from earliest times until the present.

  • Human Rights in China and US Policy
    Human Rights in China and U.S. Policy: Issues for the 113th Congress Thomas Lum Specialist in Foreign Affairs April 8, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43000 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Human Rights in China and U.S. Policy: Issues for the 113th Congress Summary This report examines human rights issues in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), including ongoing rights abuses, legal reforms, and the development of civil society. Major events of the past year include the PRC leadership transition, the Wukan protests over land expropriation, the negotiations that allowed legal advocate Chen Guangcheng to leave China, and the Tibetan self- immolations. Ongoing human rights problems include excessive use of force by public security forces, unlawful detention, torture of detainees, arbitrary use of state security laws against political dissidents and ethnic groups, coercive family planning practices, persecution of unsanctioned religious activity, state control of information, and mistreatment of North Korean refugees. Tibetans, Uighur Muslims, and Falun Gong adherents continue to receive especially harsh treatment. For additional information and policy options, see CRS Report R41007, Understanding China’s Political System; the Congressional-Executive Commission on China’s Annual Report 2012; and the U.S. Department of State’s Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2011. China’s leadership transition has so far provided few indications of a fundamental policy shift on human rights. Nonetheless, many analysts refer to a legitimacy crisis and possible “turning point” after three decades of rapid but uneven economic growth. Some observers sense a shift in public attitudes from an emphasis on economic development and social stability to an eagerness for political reform that would have implications for human rights in China.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Die Fünf Dynastien Und Zehn Staaten in Chinas 10. Jahrhundert
    In Sven Sellmer and Horst Brinkhaus (eds.), Zeitenwenden: Historische Brüche in asiatischen und afrikanischen Gesellschaften (Hamburg: E.B. Verlag, 2002), 273-290. Problematische Zeiten: Die Fünf Dynastien und Zehn Staaten in Chinas 10. Jahrhundert Johannes L. Kurz Zeitenwenden sind in der kaiserlichen chinesischen Geschichte im wörtlichen Sinne zu verstehen, da jede neue Dynastie den Kalender neuordnete und somit die Zeit. Daneben gab es eine ganze Reihe von weiteren Maßnahmen, die die neue Herrschaft als die einzig richtige und in der legitimen Abfolge der Dynastien stehende beweisen sollte. Dazu gehörte die Bezeichnung für die Dynastie, eine Regierungsdevise, die als Motto für die neue Dynastie galt, und, besonders seit der Tang-Zeit, das Abhalten von Prüfun- gen als wichtiges Auswahlkriterium für zukünftige Beamte. Daneben manifestierte sich eine neue Dynastie durch das Setzen eines neuen Kammertones, das Prägen neuer Mün- zen und die Vereinheit-lichung von Gewichten. Dies alles sollte die Elite wie das Volk gleichermaßen davon überzeugen, daß der neue Herrscher das Mandat des Himmels besaß. Im kaiserlichen China waren legitime Dynastien daran zu erkennen, daß sie zum einen das immer wieder neu zu definierende Territorium des chinesischen Reiches unter ihre Herrschaft brachten, und daß sie sich zum anderen in eine Reihenfolge mit den vor- angegangenen Dynastien bringen ließen. Der Herrscher einer Dynastie belegte seine Herrschaft durch das Mandat des Himmels (tianming 天命), welches er und seine Nach- folger solange behalten durften, wie der Himmel ihnen gewogen war. Ebenso konnte das Mandat des Himmels verloren werden, wenn einzelne Herrscher sich als ungeeignet erwiesen. Dies alles funktionierte allerdings nur solange, wie eine Dynastie auf die nächste folgte, was in China nicht zwangsläufig der Fall war.

  • Battle Lines in the Chinese Blogosphere
    76 FIIA Working Paper October 2012 Keegan Elmer BATTLE LINES IN THE CHINESE BLOGOSPHERE KEYWORD CONTROL AS A TACTIC IN MANAGING MASS INCIDENTS ABSTRACT This paper explores the role of keyword control, in other words the blocking and unblocking of search keywords, on Sina’s popular microblog platform during media campaigns over politically sensitive issues in China. The author examines media campaigns in Chinese newspapers, television, microblogs and other media forms during two separate large-scale protests in December of 2011 in Guangdong province, one in the village of Wukan and the other in the town of Haimen. This paper uses these case studies to examine which acts of keyword control might be part of a set of coordinated directives in a broader media campaign over a particular politically sensitive issue. Observations based on these case studies suggest that changes in keyword control on microblogs might be the earliest detectable sign of shifts in the government’s position in their response to politically sensitive issues.

  • China's New Social Governance
    China’s New Social Governance Ketty A. Loeb A dissertation Submitted in partial fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: David Bachman, Chair Tony Gill Karen Litfin Mary Kay Gugerty Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Political Science © Copyright 2014 Ketty A. Loeb University of Washington Abstract China’s New Social Governance Ketty A. Loeb Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor David Bachman Jackson School of International Studies This dissertation explores the sources and mechanisms of social policy change in China during the reform era. In it, I first argue that, starting in the late 1990s, China’s leadership began shifting social policy away from the neoliberal approach that characterized the first two decades of the reform era towards a New Governance approach. Second, I ask the question why this policy transformation is taking place. I employ a political economy argument to answer this question, which locates the source of China’s New Governance transition in diversifying societal demand for public goods provision. China’s leadership is concerned about the destabilizing impacts of this social transformation, and has embraced the decentralized tools of New Governance in order to improve responsiveness and short up its own legitimacy. Third, I address how China’s leadership is undertaking this policy shift. I argue that China’s version of New Governance is being undertaken in such as way as to protect the Chinese Communist Party’s monopoly over power. This double-edged strategy is aimed at improving the capacity consists of Social Construction, on the one hand, and Social Management Innovation, on the other.
