Constructing China and America’s New Type of Major Power Relations: Opportunities and Challenges Shao Yuqun，Ph.D.1 On June 7 and 8, 2013, President Xi Jinping and President Barack Obama held meetings at the Annenberg Estate in California. This meeting was Xi Jinping’s first visit to the U.S. since assuming the position of President; it was also Obama’s first meeting with a Chinese leader since beginning his second term. Even more importantly, the two sides altered the original schedule. The Xi-Obama meeting, originally planned to take place at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in September, was moved forward to early June. This demonstrates that both sides had a desire to meet and communicate as early as possible. During the Xi-Obama summit, the proposition to construct a “new type of major power relations” between China and the U.S. again attracted global attention. This essay attempts to sort out the origins and development of the idea of “new type of major power relations” between China and the U.S., and to use this as a foundation for analyzing the potential opportunities and challenges that confront the proposition’s success. Finally, the essay will evaluate the concept’s significance for China-U.S. relations on a policy level. I. Proposing the Concept In February 2012, then-Vice President Xi Jinping made an official visit to the U.S. During his trip, Xi said that “China and the United States have the wisdom, ability and means to maintain and develop their cooperative partnership… And by doing so, we’ll set an unprecedented and inspiring example.”2 Xi further said, “China is the world’s largest developing country, while the United States is the largest developed country. To build a new type of cooperative partnership between two countries like ours is a pioneering endeavor with great and far-reaching significance. There is no precedent for us to follow and no ready experience for us to refer 1 Translation by Shannon Tiezzi, Research Associate, U.S.-China Policy Foundation 2 The White House, Office of the Vice President, “Remarks by Vice President Biden and Chinese Vice President Xi at the State Department Luncheon”, February 14, 2013 <http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/02/14/remarks-vice-president-biden- and-chinese-vice-president-xi-state-departm> 1 Washington Journal of Modern China to.”3 This was the first time a Chinese leader raised the idea that China and the U.S. should establish a new-type, unprecedented, cooperative partnership that would serve as a model for future generations. On May 3, 2012, then-President Hu Jintao gave an opening speech titled “Advance Mutually Beneficial and Win-Win Cooperation; Develop New Type Major Power Relations” at the Fourth China-U.S.

  • Qiu Xiaolong's Death of a Red Heroine in Chinese Translation A
    Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale ISSN 2385-3042 Vol. 51 – Giugno 2015 Qiu Xiaolong’s Death of a Red Heroine in Chinese Translation A Macro-Polysystemic Analysis Paolo Magagnin (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract Despite the literature available on the linguistic specificity of the works by Chinese authors writing in languages other than their native language, the observable phenomena in the Chinese translations of such works remain generally unexplored. In fact, the analysis of such Chi- nese-language renditions reveals complex phenomena at the level of linguistic hybridity, transla- tion norms, and political and ideological interference, calling for a more in-depth description of the recontextualization undergone by the prototexts, and for a comprehensive analysis of the ‘external politics’ involved in the translation process. A brief outline of such factors, as exemplified by Hong ying zhi si (2003) – the Chinese translation of Shanghai-born writer Qiu Xiaolong’s first English- language detective novel, Death of a Red Heroine (2000) – will be herein attempted. To do so, a representative range of linguistic and extra-linguistic features observable in Hong ying zhi si will be described and the relevant translation strategies will be commented upon. Finally, by adopting a macro-polysystemic model, a preliminary attempt will be made to reconstruct the network in which the Chinese translation of Qiu’s novel is situated. Summary 1. The ‘Macro-Polysystemic Hypothesis’ in the Analysis of the Chinese Translation of Death of a Red Heroine. – 2. Levels of Translation Change. – 2.1. The Local Setting. – 2.2. Idiomatic Expressions. – 2.3. Syntactic Factors.

  • China Media Bulletin
    CHINA MEDIA BULLETIN A biweekly update of press freedom and censorship news related to the People’s Republic of China Issue 95: October 29, 2013 Headlines Paper forced to retreat after bold defense of detained journalist Peking University fires dissident scholar Xia Yeliang Social media mum on Yuyao flooding, blogger crackdown cited Overlooking censorship, foreign media leaders flock to Chinese summit Beijing blocks criticism at UN rights review PHOTO OF THE WEEK: A BOLDFACE CRY FOR FREEDOM Credit: Sina Weibo BROADCAST / PRINT MEDIA NEWS Paper forced to retreat after bold defense of detained journalist On October 18, journalist Chen Yongzhou of New Express newspaper in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, was summoned by local police and then turned over to authorities from Changsha, Hunan Province. He was accused of “damaging the business reputation” of Zoomlion, one of the country’s largest construction machinery businesses, which is partly owned by the Hunan government. After several days of quiet attempts to secure Chen’s release, New Express published a full front-page editorial with the headline “Please Release Him.” It defended Chen’s reporting, claiming that staff had reviewed his 15 articles about Zoomlion and discovered only one minor error. The editorial was a rare example of Chinese media directly appealing to the public over the unfair treatment of one of their journalists. In an outcry reminiscent of the January protest against censorship at Guangzhou’s Southern Weekly (see CMB special), New Express garnered support from prominent bloggers and business figures. The Central Propaganda Department reportedly instructed media not to cover the incident, but several commercial papers published statements of solidarity.

But Inspector Chen, though a poet by inclination and avocation, takes his job as a policeman very seriously, despite the pressures put upon him from within The Mao Case without, and is unwilling to compromise his principles as a policeman in favor of political expedience. The party, increasingly leery of international embarrassment, is unhappy about two recent books that place Mao in a bad light. Even though there is no evidence that such even exists, Chen has been charged to infiltrate her social circle, determine if the feared material exists and, if it does, retrieve it quietly.

It focuses on the formal and thematic features of these novels through comparative analyses of the themes of commodification and crime. Part I draws on the work of Jay McInerney, Bret Easton Ellis, Candace Bushnell, Wei Hui and Wang Anyi. It examines how commodification has become not just a feature of global fiction but how writers are drawn to a narrative of excess in their representations of it. Wei Hui's "body writing" shares the same materialistic emphasis as New York "Brat Pack" writing but in their criticism of material excess, their approaches are different.
