  • Introduction This Statement Is Submitted to the U.S.-China
    USCC Hearing China’s Military Transition February 7, 2013 Roy Kamphausen Senior Advisor, The National Bureau of Asian Research Introduction This statement is submitted to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission to address issues related to the transition to the new top military leadership in China. The statement addresses the composition of the new Central Military Commission, important factors in the selection of the leaders, and highlights salient elements in the backgrounds of specific leaders. The statement also addresses important factors of civil-military relations, including the relationship of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to China’s top political leadership, potential reform of the military-region structure of the PLA, and the likely competition for budget resources. Composition of the China’s New Central Military Commission As expected, new Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping was appointed in November 2012 as the Central Military Commission (CMC) chairman. Additionally, army general Fan Changlong and air force general Xu Qiliang were promoted to positions as vice chairmen of the CMC—Fan from Jinan Military Region commander and Xu from PLA Air Force commander. Other members of the new CMC include General Chang Wanquan, who will become the next Minister of National Defense when that position is confirmed in early spring 2013; General Fang Fenghui, chief of the General Staff Department (GSD), who previously had been Beijing Military Region commander since 2007; General Zhang Yang, director of

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.

  • The Flâneur in Shanghai: Moviegoing and Spectatorship in the Late Qing and Early Republican Era
    1 The Flâneur in Shanghai: Moviegoing and Spectatorship in the Late Qing and Early Republican Era SUGAWARA Yoshino 上海の遊歩者 ― 清末民初の映画鑑賞について 菅 原 慶 乃 本稿は、上海における映画受容を、都市と娯楽文化の近代化の総体的文脈の中に位置 づけたうえで、（1）遊歩や観劇文化の近代化の文脈における映画受容と、（2）知的な文 明、あるいは近代教育の工具としての映画受容の二つについて明らかにするものである。 上海において、映画は観劇文化を代表とする伝統的娯楽文化と強い親和性を持ち、伝統 的娯楽文化の近代化の過程においてその文脈の内に包摂されていった。数々の日記資料 が明らかにするところによれば、映画鑑賞とは近代的娯楽の中核を成す遊歩という行為を 構成する諸々の遊興行為の一要素であった。映画は遊歩に従属する行為であり、遊歩の 過程で人々が目にする様々な都市の風景の一断片であった。遊歩に依拠した映画鑑賞態 度は、1910年代には遊楽場という遊興施設を誕生させ、1920年代には国産映画の美学へ 強い影響を及ぼすこととなった。他方、映画は娯楽文化とは全く異なる文脈においても受 容された。西洋式の学校や公共施設、宗教団体の会所などで上映される映画や幻灯は、 西洋（あるいは近代）がもたらす「啓蒙的」で「知的」なメディアとしても受容されていた。 このような空間における映画上映は、「健全」なものとして市井の商業上映とは全く異な るヘテロトピア―映画の教育的ミリュー―を創造した。1920年代の国産映画が社会教化 を強く志向したのは、このような映画受容に直接のルーツを求めることができるのである。 2 Preface The development of digital technology and archival efforts to preserve and publish early movies through various media and opportunities has dramatically improved the ac- cessibility of those unseen movies. Although many movies are to be repaired and re- searched yet, many early works are no longer antiques stored in the darkness of film ar- chives, unseen for decades. Yet, some important questions about movie exhibition and spectatorship in the initial movie years remain unanswered or unexamined; they encapsu- late the attitude of movie spectators, the social and cultural milieus of the movie exhibition venues, and the recognition and acceptance of movies as a new media by the early audi- ence. Among the early studies on movie spectatorship and audiences, Miriam Hansen’s Babel and Babylon should be marked as one of the most unique and insightful due to its methodology, which utilizes both aesthetic and historical methods in analyzing early spec- tatorship in the United States. One of Hansen’s achievements in this work is her theoriza- tion of the different stages of early film spectatorship, based on her analysis of a profound number of early movies.

  • China's Provincial Leaders Await Promotion
    Li, China Leadership Monitor, No.1 After Hu, Who?--China’s Provincial Leaders Await Promotion Cheng Li China’s provincial leadership is both a training ground for national leadership and a battleground among various political forces. Provincial chiefs currently carry much more weight than ever before in the history of the PRC. This is largely because the criteria for national leadership have shifted from revolutionary credentials such as participation in the Long March to administrative skills such as coalition-building. In addition, provincial governments now have more autonomy in advancing their own regional interests. Nonetheless, nepotism and considerations of factional politics are still evident in the recruitment of provincial leaders. Emerging top-level national leaders--including Hu Jintao, Zeng Qinghong, and Wen Jiabao--have all drawn on the pool of provincial leaders in building their factions, hoping to occupy more seats on the upcoming Sixteenth Central Committee and the Politburo. At the same time, new institutional mechanisms have been adopted to curtail various forms of nepotism. The unfolding of these contradictory trends will not only determine who will rule China after 2002, but even more importantly, how this most populous country in the world will be governed. During his recent visit to an elementary school in New Mexico, President George W. Bush offered advice to a child who hoped to become president. “If you want to be President, I would suggest you become a governor first,” said President Bush, “because governors make decisions, and that’s what presidents do.”1 What is true of the career path of American leaders seems also to be true of their counterparts in present-day China.

  • The CCP Central Committee's Leading Small Groups Alice Miller
    Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 The CCP Central Committee’s Leading Small Groups Alice Miller For several decades, the Chinese leadership has used informal bodies called “leading small groups” to advise the Party Politburo on policy and to coordinate implementation of policy decisions made by the Politburo and supervised by the Secretariat. Because these groups deal with sensitive leadership processes, PRC media refer to them very rarely, and almost never publicize lists of their members on a current basis. Even the limited accessible view of these groups and their evolution, however, offers insight into the structure of power and working relationships of the top Party leadership under Hu Jintao. A listing of the Central Committee “leading groups” (lingdao xiaozu 领导小组), or just “small groups” (xiaozu 小组), that are directly subordinate to the Party Secretariat and report to the Politburo and its Standing Committee and their members is appended to this article. First created in 1958, these groups are never incorporated into publicly available charts or explanations of Party institutions on a current basis. PRC media occasionally refer to them in the course of reporting on leadership policy processes, and they sometimes mention a leader’s membership in one of them. The only instance in the entire post-Mao era in which PRC media listed the current members of any of these groups was on 2003, when the PRC-controlled Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po publicized a membership list of the Central Committee Taiwan Work Leading Small Group. (Wen Wei Po, 26 December 2003) This has meant that even basic insight into these groups’ current roles and their membership requires painstaking compilation of the occasional references to them in PRC media.
