Pieke ESRC Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) Institute for Chinese Studies University of Oxford Writing on Chinese migration is a perilous enterprise. To illustrate the choppy waters one has to navigate, I would like to start with two rather different quotes. I will begin with a recent lecture given by Wang Gungwu, the doyen of overseas Chinese studies: “The current acceptance of the term [diaspora] for ‘dispersed Chinese communities’ suggests that scholars of the Chinese overseas have certainly created much new work for themselves for many years to come. The more I think about it, the unhappier I am that the term has come to be applied to the Chinese. I have used the term with great reluctance and regret, and I still believe that it carries the wrong connotation and that, unless it is used carefully to avoid projecting the image of a single Chinese diaspora, it will eventually bring tragedy to the Chinese overseas.” (Wang Gungwu 2004) Strong words indeed that remind us how powerful the fear of the “yellow peril” still is, even when dressed up as “Greater China”, a “Chinese Commonwealth”, “Chinese capitalism”, or “Chinese diaspora”.

  • The Diary of a Manchu Soldier in Seventeenth-Century China: “My
    THE DIARY OF A MANCHU SOLDIER IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY CHINA The Manchu conquest of China inaugurated one of the most successful and long-living dynasties in Chinese history: the Qing (1644–1911). The wars fought by the Manchus to invade China and consolidate the power of the Qing imperial house spanned over many decades through most of the seventeenth century. This book provides the first Western translation of the diary of Dzengmeo, a young Manchu officer, and recounts the events of the War of the Three Feudatories (1673–1682), fought mostly in southwestern China and widely regarded as the most serious internal military challenge faced by the Manchus before the Taiping rebellion (1851–1864). The author’s participation in the campaign provides the close-up, emotional perspective on what it meant to be in combat, while also providing a rare window into the overall organization of the Qing army, and new data in key areas of military history such as combat, armament, logistics, rank relations, and military culture. The diary represents a fine and rare example of Manchu personal writing, and shows how critical the development of Manchu studies can be for our knowledge of China’s early modern history. Nicola Di Cosmo joined the Institute for Advanced Study, School of Historical Studies, in 2003 as the Luce Foundation Professor in East Asian Studies. He is the author of Ancient China and Its Enemies (Cambridge University Press, 2002) and his research interests are in Mongol and Manchu studies and Sino-Inner Asian relations. ROUTLEDGE STUDIES

  • The Changes of Forestry Trade Development in Western Fujian and the Influences on Ecological Environment＊
    長崎県立大学東アジア研究所『東アジア評論』第10号（2018．3） 〈研究論文〉 The Changes of Forestry Trade Development in Western Fujian and the Influences on Ecological Environment＊ Lianfang WANG† Jing LIU‡ Abstract: The special mountain terrain in Western Fujian created a rich forest resources, and derived the forestry trade as the main way for the survival and development. With the society changes, forestry trade in western Fujian occurred changes from prosperity to decline, from blindness to orderliness, and forest ecosystem also experienced a interconversion between the balance and imbalance. The forestry trade development brought great changes to the ecological environment in Western Fujian. At the same time, from the ecological environment changes caused by development of forestry trade in Western Fujian, we can also learn the experiences from the interaction between ecology and society. Key Words: Western Fujian; Longyan; Forestry Trade; Ecological Environment Western Fujian is known as Longyan area which is listed as national key protection, accounted for 49% of located in the southwest of Fujian Province and is 150 rare plant varieties in Fujian, so Western Fujian is called kilometers apart from the sea channel. As the region is the green ”treasure bowl”1. For the region is located in located in the Tropic of Cancer, the climate is mild and it the mountains, more mountain and less field is the basic is like spring all the year around. The mountain soil is ecological condition restriction. Because of the red soil and yellow soil for the most part and it is suitable restriction, farmers in Western Fujian began to focus on for plant growth particularly, so there is very rich of and used the rich forest resources very early.

Courtillot Abstract Two alkaline syenite plutons, the Tieshan and Yangfang plutons, have recently been recognized within NE-trending fault zones in eastern Cathaysia, South China. The rocks are very enriched in K2O (6.28–9.39 wt.%), rare earth elements (REE; particularly light REE) and large ion lithophile elements, but are relatively low in high field strength elements. Isotopically, they 87 86 are characterized by high initial Sr/ Sr (0.7093 to 0.7123) and low eNd(t) values (À5.64 to À10.63). The geochemical data suggest that the alkaline syenites most likely formed via fractional crystallization of enriched mantle-derived magmas. Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe zircon U–Pb dating indicates that these two intrusions have Late Permian (254F4 Ma) and Early Triassic (242F4 Ma) crystallization ages, respectively. Our data suggest that a tectonic regime dominated by transtension probably existed from at least the latest Permian into the Triassic and was responsible for the formation of the Tieshan and Yangfang alkaline syenites.

Abstract My PhD thesis studies the rise of modern education in China and its underlying driving forces from the turn of the 20th century. It is motivated by one sweeping educational movement in Chinese history: the traditional Confucius teaching came to an abrupt end, and was replaced by a modern and national education model at the turn of the 20th century. This thesis provides the first systematic quantitative studies that examine the rise of education through the initial stage of its development.

  • Recent Trends in Chinese Migration to Europe
    coverMRS6.qxd 4/9/02 12:24 PM Page 1 Recent Trends in Chinese Migration to Europe: Also available online at: M Fujianese Migration http://www.iom.int R S 6 in Perspective The June 2000 Dover tragedy, in which 58 Chinese nationals died while being smuggled No. 6 into the United Kingdom, alerted the general public, as well as policy makers, to issues relating to Chinese migration into Europe. However, the fact that over one million Chinese nationals already live in Europe, and that Chinese migration benefits both Europe and China, have received less attention in the media and in ongoing policy debate. What is lacking is a balanced understanding of the dynamics of Chinese migration to Europe. This report presents recent findings of the principal trends in Chinese migration to Europe, with detailed discussions on the particular characteristics of Fujianese flows. It also demonstrates that migrants from the central and western parts of the Fujian province represent changing migration patterns, in which Chinese from various areas and back- grounds are creating new emigration trends with diversified destinations. In fact, these new migrants are frequently receiving professional assistance in the migration process. This report identifies the principal gaps in the knowledge of Chinese migration to Europe and suggests future areas of research. It also considers relevant policy implications of these recent research findings. IOM IOM • OIM ISSN 1607-338X MRS_6IC.qxd 4/9/02 12:29 PM Page 1 Frank N.

  • The Extent of in Situ Urbanisation in China's County Areas

URL : http://journals.openedition.org/chinaperspectives/6263 ; DOI : 10.4000/ chinaperspectives.6263 © All rights reserved Special feature China perspectives The Extent of In Situ Urbanisation in China’s County Areas: The case of Fujian Province YU ZHU, MIN LIN, LIYUE LIN, AND JINMEI CHEN ABSTRACT: By developing and using indexes reflecting “quasi-urban” status, this paper attempts to quantitatively estimate the “invi - sible” contribution of in situ urbanisation to the overall urbanisation process in the county areas of Fujian Province. The results show that the urbanisation level of the county areas in Fujian Province would be significantly increased if the urban characteristics resulting from in situ urbanisation were fully reflected, suggesting that the conventional urban statistics seriously underestimate the true extent of rural-urban transformation in the county areas. Furthermore, such underestimation is more serious in the coastal areas with most dynamic socioeconomic development, and thus distorts the true picture of the spatial pattern of rural-urban transformation.

  • Intra-Asian Trade and the World Market
    Latham-FM.qxd 8/12/05 7:22 AM Page i Intra-Asian Trade and the World Market Intra-Asian trade is a major theme of recent writing on Asian economic history. From the second half of the nineteenth century, intra-Asian trade flows linked Asia into an integrated economic system, with reciprocal benefits for all participants. But although this was a network from which all gained, there was also considerable inter-Asian competition between Asian producers for these Asian markets and those of the wider world. This collection presents captivating ‘snap-shots’ of trade in specific commodities, alongside chapters comprehensively covering the region. The book covers China’s relative backwardness, Japanese copper exports, Japan’s fur trade, Siam’s luxury rice trade, Korea, Japanese shipbuilding, the silk trade, the refined sugar trade, competition in the rice trade, the Japanese cotton textile trade to Africa, multilateral settlements in Asia, the cotton textile trade to Britain and the growth of the palm oil industry in Malaysia and Indonesia. The opening of Asia, especially Japan and China, liberated the creative forces of the market within the new interactive Asian economy. This fascinating book fills a particular gap in the literature on intra-Asian trade from the sixteenth century to the present day. It will be of particular interest to historians and economists focusing on Asia. A.J.H. Latham retired as Senior Lecturer in International Economic History at the University of Wales, Swansea, in 2003. His recent books include Rice: The Primary Commodity. He co-edited (with Kawakatsu) Asia Pacific Dynamism, 1550–2000 (both are published by Routledge).
