With the generous support of the Hanban and its initial grant of operational funds of $150,000 in October, 2009, the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington organized its first educational programs in March, 2010, and held its official opening ceremony on April 26, 2010. We were honored to host Mme. Xu, Lin, Director General of Hanban, and other representatives from Hanban, as well as from our partner institutions, Sichuan University and Chongqing City Commission and Renmin Elementary School and Nankai Middle School. Governor Christine Gregoire and University of Washington Provost (now Acting President) Phyllis Wise, as well as Seattle Schools Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson, were all present at the MOU signing ceremony at the University of Washington in the afternoon.

The Confucius Institute Directors are very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in launching this new state-level Confucius Institute, the first of its kind in the United States. There have been challenges in building a close working relationship with the University of Washington, Seattle Public Schools, Alliance for Education (our fiscal agent), the Governor’s Office, and the Office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction, but we have already learned a great deal and appreciate this unique opportunity afforded us through this partnership with Hanban. Mainly, we have found that by working together we have been able to offer programs to benefit students of all ages in our state, as well as teachers and members of our business and ethnic communities.

Programs for the Public

Regulations for the Administration of Confucius Institute Headquarters Funds April 20, 2010. China in 2010: Legacies of the Past, Prospects for the Future A lecture by Jeffery Wasserstrom for the general public, held at the Walker-Ames Room, Kane Hall, University of Washington.

This illustrated talk explored recent changes in Chinese politics and culture and the shifting place of the PRC in the global order. Drawing on material from the presenter's new book, China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know (published by Oxford on April 14, 2010), and his experiences during his frequent trips to Asia, the speaker dealt with topics such as: changing patterns of protest in Chinese cities, the impact and meaning of the Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai Expo, the shifting role of the Internet as a factor in society and politics, and Western hopes for and fears of China from the days of the Boxers to the present. The talk was informed by historical perspective but focused on issues of the moment at a time when China's impact on and engagement with the world is increasing dramatically.

From the evaluation: Jeff Wasserstrom is an excellent teacher and presents as if he is in a classroom. The partnership with the UW Bookstore worked very well. The event was filmed by UWTV, so it will continue to have an impact.

Dr. Jeffrey Wasserstrom is Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine, and editor of the Journal of Asian Studies. A specialist in modern Chinese history, he is also the author of Global Shanghai, 1850-2010 (Routledge, 2009), and the editor or co-editor of several volumes, including China in 2008: A Year of Great Significance (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009). He has contributed to numerous academic journals, among them the China Quarterly, Urban History, the Journal of World History, Rethinking History, and the History Workshop Journal. He has written commentaries and reviews for many newspapers and for many magazines, including the Nation, Foreign Policy, the TLS, and both Time and Newsweek.
