more intellectually rigorous advisor than Kenneth Pomeranz, who waded through my work with the patience of someone with all the time in the world. Jeffrey Wasserstrom was equally a pleasure to work with over the years, generous with his thoughts and time discussing all matters of things relating to my research and the wider field. I am also grateful to Guo Qitao for his insights and language training, while Kate Merkel- Hess was always there a few steps down the graduate path, graciously bushwhacking through the thicket of grant opportunities, job postings, and hurdles ahead. I would like to thank Guan Yongqiang at Tianjin’s Nankai University, Liu Yin in Beijing, Gong Chen and Liu Honglong in Xi’an, Shi Xia in Irvine, and Brooks Jessup at Berkeley for their help and camaraderie along the way. Robert Marks and Janet Theiss gave helpful comments on earlier versions of this project, Kate Edgerton-Tarpley offered advice on research pathways early on, while Robert Bickers helped point the way to important collections in England. I also would like to thank the staff members of the Library of Congress’s Asian Reading Room, the Peking University library, the National Library of China, and the library and archives of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. At the University of California, Irvine, the History Department staff provided a friendly home base over years of teaching and globetrotting while the charming faculty at the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures created an ideal setting for honing language skills. For financial support, I am indebted foremost to the International Center for Writing and Translation at UC Irvine, especially for a five-year Glenn Schaeffer Fellowship in Creative vii Nonfiction administered with cheer by Colette LaBouff; for funding my time in China, I would like to thank the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the Department of History at Peking University, and the Fulbright Program; and, at UC Irvine, the Humanities Center, the School of Humanities, and the Office of the Graduate Dean helped bridge the financial hole of graduate school summers. For their company and conversation over the years, I would like to acknowledge Quinn (along with Sophie and Cullen) Javers for time spent in China and the Bay Area; Nicole LaBouff for the research forays to Europe; Adam Guerin, Romas Kudirki, Brock Cutler, Laura Sextro, Christina Ghanbarpour and other dear friends and colleagues too numerous to name in California; and Mark Farha, who I’ve had the good fortune to cross paths with at so many times and places over the years. Then, a shout must go out to the regulars at the old and new Oscar’s in Xi’an, and to Simon and Dave in Tokyo for the music to get me through this. Finally, I conclude this project in recognition of David and Isabelle (Gigout) Fuller, true lovers of history and biography and the most devoted of parents, and in remembrance of Faruk Tabak, a scholar of the Ottoman Empire who, during tours together of the eastern Mediterranean, sowed the seeds for my turn towards China and graduate school, conversations that have stayed with me throughout this endeavor. viii Pierre Emery Fuller University of California, Irvine Department of History Education 2011 University of California, Irvine Ph.D., Department of History Dissertation: “Struggling with Famine in Warlord China: Social Networks, Achievements, and Limitations, 1920-21” 1998 Georgetown University B.A., Departments of English and Theology Fellowships/Grants

  • Spectacle, Speculation, and the Hyperspace of Sovereignty
    8 Hyperbuilding: Spectacle, Speculation, and the Hyperspace of Sovereignty Aihwa Ong The Chinese love the monumental ambition …. CCTV headquarters is an ambi- tious building. It was conceived at the same time that the design competition for Ground Zero took place – not in backward-looking US, but in the parallel universe of China. In communism, engineering has a high status, its laws resonating with Marxian wheels of history. Rem Koolhaas and OMA (2004: 129) Urban Spectacles The proliferation of metropolitan spectacles in Asia indexes a new cultural regime as major cities race to attain even more striking skylines. Beijing’s cluster of Olympic landmarks, Shanghai’s TV tower, Hong Kong’s forest of corporate towers, Singapore’s Marina Sands complex, and super-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai are urban spectaculars that evoke the “technological sublime.” Frederic Jameson famously made the claim that the postmodern sublime has dissolved Marxian historical consciousness, but nowhere did he consider the role of architectural sublime in indexing a different kind of historical consciousness, one of national arrival on the global stage (Jameson 1991: 32–8). Despite the 2008–9 economic downturn, Shanghai’s urban transformation for the 2010 World Expo will exceed Beijing’s makeover for the 2008 Olympics.1 Spectacular architecture is often viewed as the handiwork of corporate capital in the colonization of urban markets. For instance, Anthony King and Abidin Kusno, writing about “On Be(ij)ing in the world,” argue that the rise of cutting-edge buildings in Beijing is an instantiation of postmodern globalization transforming the Chinese capital into a “transnational Worlding Cities: Asian Experiments and the Art of Being Global, First Edition.

  • The Discourse of Guohua Inwartime Shanghai
    European Journal European Journal of of East Asian Studies 19 (2020) 263–296 East Asian Studies brill.com/ejea The Discourse of Guohua in Wartime Shanghai Pedith Pui Chan School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract This article looks at artists’ engagement with artistic activities carried out in wartime Shanghai, with a particular focus on guohua (lit., ‘national painting’). Drawing on pri- mary sources such as archival materials, diaries, paintings, magazines and newspapers, it explores the layered meanings attached to and social functions of guohua and the institutional structure of the Shanghai art world from the gudao (solitary island) period to the advent of full occupation from December 1941 onwards. As a symbol of Chinese elite culture, guohua continued to dominate the Shanghai art world with support from Wang Jingwei’s regime and the occupying Japanese, and was deemed the root of East Asian art and one of the crucial pillars of the East Asian renaissance in the discourse of the new order of East Asian art. Through closely examining the discourse of guohua in occupied Shanghai, this article advances our understanding of the production and consumption of art in wartime Shanghai by going beyond the paradigmatic binary of ‘collaboration’ and ‘resistance’. Keywords art – guohua – Second Sino-Japanese War – Shanghai – occupation 1 Introduction China’s Nationalist government relocated its capital from Nanjing to the city of Chongqing in the southwest of the country as a result of the Second Sino- Japanese War (1937–1945). Artists and resources from major cities such as Shanghai and Beijing migrated westward—either to Chongqing or elsewhere in the southwest, or to communist base areas in the northwest—resulting in an institutional reconfiguration of the Chinese art world.

  • China's Dual Circulation Economy
    THE SHRINKING MARGINS FOR DEBATE OCTOBER 2020 Introduction François Godement This issue of China Trends started with a question. What policy issues are still debated in today’s PRC media? Our able editor looked into diff erent directions for critical voices, and as a result, the issue covers three diff erent topics. The “dual circulation economy” leads to an important but abstruse discussion on the balance between China’s outward-oriented economy and its domestic, more indigenous components and policies. Innovation, today’s buzzword in China, generates many discussions around the obstacles to reaching the country’s ambitious goals in terms of technological breakthroughs and industrial and scientifi c applications. But the third theme is political, and about the life of the Communist Party: two-faced individuals or factions. Perhaps very tellingly, it contains a massive warning against doubting or privately minimizing the offi cial dogma and norms of behavior: “two-faced individuals” now have to face the rise of campaigns, slogans and direct accusations that target them as such. In itself, the rise of this broad type of accusation demonstrates the limits and the dangers of any debate that can be interpreted as a questioning of the Party line, of the Centre, and of its core – China’s paramount leader (领袖) Xi Jinping. The balance matters: between surviving policy debates on economic governance issues and what is becoming an all-out attack that targets hidden Western political dissent, doubts or non-compliance beyond any explicit form of debate. Both the pre-1949 CCP and Maoist China had so-called “line debates” which science has seen this often turned into “line struggles (路线斗争)”: the offi cial history of the mostly as a “fragmented pre-1966 CCP, no longer reprinted, listed nine such events.

    HISTORY OF CHINA AND JAPAN FROM 1900TO 1976 A.D 18BHI63C (UNIT II) V.VIJAYAKUMAR 9025570709 III B A HISTORY - VI SEMESTER Yuan Shikai Yuan Shikai (Chinese: 袁世凱; pinyin: Yuán Shìkǎi; 16 September 1859 – 6 June 1916) was a Chinese military and government official who rose to power during the late Qing dynasty, becoming the Emperor of the Empire of China (1915–1916). He tried to save the dynasty with a number of modernization projects including bureaucratic, fiscal, judicial, educational, and other reforms, despite playing a key part in the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform. He established the first modern army and a more efficient provincial government in North China in the last years of the Qing dynasty before the abdication of the Xuantong Emperor, the last monarch of the Qing dynasty, in 1912. Through negotiation, he became the first President of the Republic of China in 1912.[1] This army and bureaucratic control were the foundation of his autocratic. He was frustrated in a short-lived attempt to restore hereditary monarchy in China, with himself as the Hongxian Emperor (Chinese: 洪憲皇帝). His death shortly after his abdication led to the fragmentation of the Chinese political system and the end of the Beiyang government as China's central authority. On 16 September 1859, Yuan was born as Yuan Shikai in the village of Zhangying (張營村), Xiangcheng County, Chenzhou Prefecture, Henan, China. The Yuan clan later moved 16 kilometers southeast of Xiangcheng to a hilly area that was easier to defend against bandits. There the Yuans had built a fortified village, Yuanzhaicun (Chinese: 袁寨村; lit.
