This paper makes a different case: it argues that the New Life Movement and its organisations were central into the Nationalist Governments wartime mobilisation, and that the involvement of the civil servants through the NLM prevented the disintegration of society and administrative institutions under the impact of the war.

  • Question About Simon Leys/Pierre Ryckmans
    H-Asia Question about Simon Leys/Pierre Ryckmans Discussion published by Nicholas Clifford on Friday, September 4, 2015 Sorry if this is going to the wrong place, but it's the sort of relatively simple question that it was possible to ask on H-ASIA in its earlier incarnation. Is this the appropriate place to put it? and if not, where should I try? Many thanks. I'm trying to find out exactly when "Simon Leys" was publically identified as "Pierre Ryckmans," at the time of his arguments with a powerful group of French academic Maoists. His Habits neufs du président Mao (The Chairman’s New Clothes) a chronicle of the Cultural Revolution, written in Hong Kong and based on the Chinese press and other sources) came out in France in 1971. Then, after a stay of six months in Beijing attached to the new Belgian embassy, he wrote Ombres chinoises (Chinese Shadows) which appeared in 1974. In 1975-76 he had a tussle with the French scholar Michelle Loi, whose primary interest lay in Lu Xun (whom Leys admired enormously, as he did George Orwell). In 1976 she published (in Switzerland) a brief pamphlet called Pour Luxun: réponse à Pierre Ryckmans (For Lu Xun: reply to Pierre Ryckmans) attacking him and his views on China and linking him to reactionary circles in American China studies, and those Americans who (she says) actually preferred Zhou Zuoren (Lu Xun’s collaborationist brother) to Lu Xun himself. She herself, though admitting the problems the CCP gave Lu Xun prior to his death in 1936, managed to put the blame not on Mao and the Maoists, but on Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Yang, and some of the others who were disgraced during the Cultural Revolution, and had not yet been rehabilitated at the time of her writing.

  • Uniting China Under a New Life JEFFREY SHIAU
    Uniting China Under A New Life JEFFREY SHIAU Introduction “The reason why China suffers bitterly from endless wars is because of the existence of feudal lords and kings.” -Qin Shi Huang History often works in cycles. Cities rise, cities fall. Empires rise, empires fall. These cycles often follow the ebb and flow of natural phenomenon. In the case of Chinese civilization, a unique dynastic cycle characterized its millennia of existence. In 221 BC, the Middle Kingdom, consisting of various fiefs in the “Warring States Period (475-221 BC),” was united under the iron fist of the first Huangdi (emperor), Qin Shi Huang. The Qin Dynasty became the first imperial dynasty of what would be the longest continuous civilization in the world. Now, Qin Shi Huang is a legendary figure, often cast as a ruthless and brutal tyrant, who is renowned for his economic and political reforms that set the foundation for two thousand years of Chinese rule. The first emperor's strongman methods are seen as a necessity for the greater good and the persisting stability of the civilization. Several notable remnants of his reign are the Great Wall of China, the terracotta soldiers, and the standardization of units, which have become symbols of the Middle Kingdom's might. During the early twentieth century, the great civilization found itself in a similar precarious situation; the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 witnessed the fragmentation of China, with power falling in the hands of regional warlords, while the Kuomintang (KMT) party struggled to restore order to the once-great dynastic state in the succeeding decades.

Maeve Binchy. How Did I Get Here? Simon Leys died just short of two years ago. Simon Leys is one writer who is possessed of intelligence, wide learning, facility for the written word, and a clear minded logic that cuts through to the core of the matter. After his imprisonment on St Helena in , Napoleon manages to escape, having left an imposter, a close double, in his place. We are experiencing technical difficulties. I imagine Simon would have very little patience for the no-sacrifice, lip-service, sentimentality posing as critical thinking and actual involvement that seems to be all the rage today, facilitated as it is by the bully-pulpit-in-every- pot, medium of the internet. Continuity is not ensured by the immobility of inanimate objects, it is achieved through the fluidity of the successive generations. These are matched with his own highly-quotable phrases, sentences and whole paragraphs. If one did not already come to the conclusion from what I have just written, let me point out that Leys was also a Christian. Rarer still that that person would be a translator of Chinese. This collection is a collection of all of Leys' finest es Simon Leys or Pierre Ryckmans was a Belgian-Australian writer, professor of Chinese literature at University of Sydney, translator, sinologist and, frankly, an all round man of the arts.

The events of the past decade have so soured relations between the two sides that this year could bring either peace or war to the Taiwan Strait. On April 27, 1993, more than three hundred journalists gathered in Singapore to observe two representatives of Taiwan and mainland China, divided since October 1, 1949, sign three agreements and a joint accord, signaling a breakthrough for peacefully negotiating the end of the Chinese civil war. Both sides began negotiating as equals while agreeing to different interpretations of Taiwan’s relationship to China, or the “one-China” principle. But these negotiations, conducted by private agencies (for Taiwan, the Straits Exchange Foundation, or SEF, and for mainland China, the Association for Relations across the Tai- wan Strait, or ARATS), collapsed after mid-June 1995 when President The authors wish to thank Director John Raisian of the Hoover Institution, the Gov- ernment Information Office of the Republic of China, and the Institutes for Taiwan Research in Beijing and Shanghai of the People’s Republic of China for support to conduct interviews with many individuals about the divided China problem.

    Andy Jarvis:Users:AndysiMac:Public:ANDY'S IMAC JOBS:14446 - EE - VU (EE3 fn):VU PRINT 9780857939630 PRINT 1. Introduction Economic growth has rightly attracted major attention from economists and policy makers. It is vital from the point of view of human welfare, and challenging intellectually, to attempt to answer basic questions related to the past, present, and future performance of nations in economic develop- ment: Why are some countries rich while others are poor? What factors have enabled some poor countries to achieve miraculous success in catch- ing up with rich countries? Is the disparity in per capita income between rich and poor countries decreasing? Addressing these questions requires rigorous theories and robust empirical studies. In these efforts, one needs not only well- established concepts but also in- depth knowledge of promi- nent development stories, not only knowledge of development patterns in the past events but also the current dynamics that are shaping the trends in the world’s future economic growth. Of these questions, none is more important than what has produced remarkable economic growth in Asia. In a single lifetime, countries have been lifted from rural underdevelopment to the living standards of developed econ- omies. According to World Bank (2013), if China can complete this process in the next 20–30 years, the number of people living in high- income econo- mies would more than double.1 If India could achieve the same, then for the first time in modern human history, the majority of the world’s population would enjoy high- income living standards, with all the immense benefits in human welfare that would follow from this.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract Abstract This thesis considers the Chinese Blueshirts organisation from 1932 to 1938 in the context of Chiang Kaishek's attempts to unify and modernise China. It sets out the terms of comparison between the Blueshirts and Fascist organisations in Europe and Japan, indicating where there were similarities and differences of ideology and practice, as well as establishing links between them. It then analyses the reasons for the appeal of Fascist organisations and methods to Chiang Kaishek. Following an examination of global factors, the emergence of the Blueshirts from an internal point of view is considered. As well as assuming many of the characteristics of a Fascist organisation, especially according to the Japanese model and to some extent to the European model, the Blueshirts were in many ways typical of the power-cliques which were already an integral part of Chinese politics.

Evans papers (HSE), scrapbook. 2 Introduction: It is the last day of March 1943 and the sun is beaming into the window of your humble apartment on Macy Street in Los Angeles’ “Old Chinatown”.1 The day had arrived, Madame Chiang Kai-shek’s debut in Southern California. You hurry outside and push your way through a sea of black haired-people, finding an opening just in time to catch a glimpse of China’s First Lady. There she was! In a sleek black cheongsam, with her hair pulled back in a bun, she smiled graciously as her limousine slid through the adoring crowd, en route to City Hall. The split second in which you saw her was enough because for the first time in your life you were proud to be Chinese in America.2 As the wife of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, from February-April 1943, Madame Chiang, also known by her maiden name, Soong Mayling, embarked on a carefully- crafted and well-publicized tour to rally American material and moral support for China’s war effort against the Japanese.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract Japan-Republic of China relations under US hegemony: A genealogy of ‘returning virtue for malice’ Much of Chiang Kai-shek’s ‘returning virtue for malice’ (yide baoyuan ) postwar Japan policy remains to be examined. This thesis mainly shows how the discourse of ‘returning virtue for malice’ facilitated Japan’s diplomatic recognition of the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan during the Cold War era. More conceptually, this study re- conceptualizes foreign policy as discourse—that of moral reciprocity—as it sheds light on the question of recognition as well as the consensual aspect of hegemony. By adopting a genealogical approach, this discourse analysis thus traces the descent and emergence of the ‘returning virtue for malice’ trope while it examines its discursive effect on Tokyo’s recognition of Taipei under American hegemony.
