From the 1930s to 1940s, his output shifted from cosmopolitan Shanghai-based paintings to Guizhou Miao ethnic paintings to traditional Chinese and Art Deco-influenced industrial designs. Integrating historical context, Pang Xunqin’s biography, and stylistic analyses, this thesis interprets how the artist’s work transformed through particular social and political upheavals, including the Second Sino- Japanese War (1937-1945) and conflicts between vying political parties in China.

What Happened to Unequal Treaties? the Continuities of Informal Empire

The Continuities of Informal Empire MATTHEW CRAVEN* “The barbarians are like beasts and not to be ruled on the same prin- ciples as Chinese. Were one to attempt to control them by the great maxims of reason it would tend to nothing but the greatest confu- sion. The ancient sovereigns well understood this and accordingly ruled barbarians by misrule . to rule barbarians by misrule was the true and best way of ruling them.” [Confucian maxim attributed to Su Tung-po, cited in H. Morse, The International Relations of the Chinese Empire (London: Longmans, 1910) I, p. 111] “[As a consequence of its engagements with the West] China has been compelled to abandon its inveterate anti-commercial and anti- social principles, and to acknowledge the independence and equality of other nations in the mutual intercourse of war and peace.” [H. Wheaton, Elements of International Law (Boyd A. 2nd ed. 1880) p. 20] 1. Introduction The phenomenon of unequal treaties appears to have largely evaporated as an issue from the domain of international law.1 It is typically rendered as an issue impressed alternatively with the particularities of the colonial rela- tionship between European powers and polities on the periphery during the * Reader in International Law, University of London. 1 On unequal treaties generally see F.

Historical Evolution of National Treatment in China
Historical Evolution of National Treatment in China WEI WANG* I. Introduction National treatment and most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment are two types of non- discriminatory treatment. The purpose of MFN treatment is to ensure equal competition opportunities provided by one country are available to other countries, whereas the fun- damental purpose of national treatment is to ensure equal treatment between a host country and foreign countries. Georg Schwarzenberger called MFN "foreign parity" and national treatment "inland parity."' This paper focuses only on the latter. Historically and internationally, national treatment originates from treaties,2 which is also the case for China. In the search for an understanding of national treatment in modem China, an exploration of the history of national treatment, especially in China's treaties, can be of immense value.' Through such a historical analysis, one can discover the origins * Wei Wang is counsel at Jiangsu Tianhao Law Firm, People's Republic of China, and a member of the Chinese Bar Association. He has served as a legal advisor to a great number of Chinese import and export corporations and a consultant on several projects of the Asian Development Bank.

1 INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and Its History Have Been
INTRODUCTION Accounts of Taiwan and its history have been profoundly influenced by cultural and political ideologies, which have fluctuated radically over the past four centuries on the island. Small parts of Taiwan were ruled by the Dutch (1624-1662), Spanish (1626-1642), Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga)1 and his heirs (1662-1683), and a large part by Qing Dynasty China (1683-1895). Thereafter, the whole of the island was under Japanese control for half a century (1895-1945), and after World War II, it was taken over by the Republic of China (ROC), being governed for more than four decades by the authoritarian government of Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang (KMT), or Chinese Nationalist Party,2 before democratization began in earnest in the late 1980s. Taiwan’s convoluted history and current troubled relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which claims Taiwan is “a renegade province” of the PRC, has complicated the world’s understanding of Taiwan. Many Western studies of Taiwan, primarily concerning its politics and economic development, have been conducted as an 1 Pinyin is employed in this dissertation as its Mandarin romanization system, though there are exceptions for names of places which have been officially transliterated differently, and for names of people who have been known to Western scholarship in different forms of romanization. In these cases, the more popular forms are used. All Chinese names are presented in the same order as they would appear in Chinese, surname first, given name last, unless the work is published in English, in which case the surname appears last.

Rule of Law and China's Unequal Treaties
Penn History Review Volume 25 | Issue 2 Article 2 4-5-2019 Rule of Law and China's Unequal Treaties: Conceptions of the Rule of Law and Its Role in Chinese International Law and Diplomatic Relations in the Early Twentieth Century Mitchell Chan University of Pennsylvania This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/phr/vol25/iss2/2 For more information, please contact [email protected]. China's Unequal Treaties Rule of Law and China's Unequal Treaties: Conceptions of the Rule of Law and Its Role in Chinese International Law and Diplomatic Relations in the Early Twentieth Century Mitchell Chan The unequal treaties that hindered Chinese international relations for much of the one hundred years immediately preceding the Second World War reflected the differences between the traditional Chinese legal system and those in Europe and America. Traditional Chinese law has been characterized as a morals-based system of philosophy and morality, a system of rule by virtue rather than rule of law. The belief that the rule of law, if not law itself, was either inadequate or nonexistent in China shaped pre-modern China’s relationships with the world. At the same time, the introduction of foreign legal thought, facilitated by a wave of legal translation in China, exposed the Chinese to foreign notions of law, including principles of international law and the rule of law. Whether they believed the foreign conviction that they had no law, realized they needed to play along with the foreign view in order to restore China’s place in the world, or simply favored the foreign definition of the rule of law more than the traditional Chinese conceptions of law, Chinese thinkers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries advocated, and pursued, legal reforms shaped by international standards for the rule of law.
