Ations to Normalize Relations with the Peoples Republic of China, Lucy

[email protected] In 1972, the year that Henry Kissinger began his negoti- ations to normalize relations with The Peoples Republic of China, Lucy Jarvis won permission from Zhou Enlai to take her cameras to Peking and film an exclusive doc- umentary for The National Broadcasting Company (NBC)... The goal was to give American audiences a glimpse behind the "bamboo curtain" by profiling the ordinary Chinese family as they went about their daily routine. The result was an Emmy award winning television show titled "The Forbidden City" which has since become a classic. Now, Mrs. Jarvis and her team are returning to Peking (Beijing) to continue the story of an ordinary Chinese family. Jarvis Theatre and Film Ltd, has located the same family profiled in the original television show and will document their lives as contrasted with 32 years ago. Huang Hua, former Foreign Minister and 1st PRC Ambassador to the U.N. Lucy Jarvis The show will concentrate on the dramatic connection between past and present and will zero in on the hopes and fears that have shaped this family through years of political reforms, economic turmoil and their survival as a family unit.

The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.

CHAPTER 6: Governance and Order in a Networked World
6 GOVERNANCE AND ORDER IN A NETWORKED WORLD Niall Ferguson “ s the world slouching toward a grave systemic crisis?” asked the his- Itorian Philip Zelikow at the annual gathering of the Aspen Strategy Group earlier this summer, the kind of “deep system- wide crisis . when people all over the world no longer think the old order work[s].” Among the reasons he gave for anticipating such a crisis was “the digital revolution and the rise of a networked world.” To grasp the scale and nature of this coming crisis, we must begin by recognizing how drasti- cally the balance of power has shift ed in our time from hierarchically ordered empires and superpowers (the euphemism for empire developed to suit American and Soviet sensibilities) to distributed networks. To be sure, the formal “org. chart” of global power is still dominated by the vertically structured super- polities that gradually evolved out of the republics and monarchies of early modern Europe, the colonies they established in the New World, and the older empires of Asia. Th ough not the most populous nation in the world, the United States is certainly the world’s most powerful state, despite—or perhaps because of—the peculiarities of its political system. Its nearest rival, the People’s Republic of China, is usually seen as a profoundly diff erent kind of state, for while the United States has two major parties, the People’s Republic has one, and only one. Th e US government is founded on the separation 159 119106-Shultz_BeyondDisruption.indd9106-Shultz_BeyondDisruption.indd 159159 33/23/18/23/18 77:12:12 PMPM 160 Niall Ferguson of powers, not least the independence of its judiciary; the PRC subordi- nates all other institutions, including the courts, to the dictates of the Communist Party.
