Claremont McKenna College Tapping the Potential of Sports: Incentives in China’s Reformation of the Sports Industry Submitted to Professor Minxin Pei by Yu Fu for Senior Thesis Spring 2017 April 24, 2017 2 Abstract Since the 2010s, China’s sports industry has undergone comprehensive reforms. This paper attempts to understand this change of direction from the central state’s perspective. By examining the dynamics of the basketball and soccer markets, it discovers that while the deregulation of basketball is a result of persistent bottom-up effort from the private sector, the recentralization of soccer is a state-led policy change. Notwithstanding the different nature and routes between these reforms, in both sectors, the state’s aim is to restore and strengthen its legitimacy within the society. Amidst China’s economic stagnation, the regime hopes to identify sectors that can drive sustainable growth, and to make adjustments to its bureaucracy as a way to respond to the society’s mounting demand for political modernization.

    COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events (December 2019-January 2020) Updated May 13, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46354 SUMMARY R46354 COVID-19 and China: A Chronology of Events May 13, 2020 (December 2019-January 2020) Susan V. Lawrence In Congress, multiple bills and resolutions have been introduced related to China’s Specialist in Asian Affairs handling of a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China, that expanded to become the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. This report provides a timeline of key developments in the early weeks of the pandemic, based on available public reporting. It also considers issues raised by the timeline, including the timeliness of China’s information sharing with the World Health Organization (WHO), gaps in early information China shared with the world, and episodes in which Chinese authorities sought to discipline those who publicly shared information about aspects of the epidemic. Prior to January 20, 2020—the day Chinese authorities acknowledged person-to-person transmission of the novel coronavirus—the public record provides little indication that China’s top leaders saw containment of the epidemic as a high priority. Thereafter, however, Chinese authorities appear to have taken aggressive measures to contain the virus. The Appendix includes a concise version of the timeline. A condensed version is below: Late December: Hospitals in Wuhan, China, identify cases of pneumonia of unknown origin. December 30: The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission issues “urgent notices” to city hospitals about cases of atypical pneumonia linked to the city’s Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. The notices leak online.

    24 April 2020 To: President Jin Liqun Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank B9 Financial Street Xicheng District Beijing 10033 People’s Republic of China [email protected] CC: Joachim Von Amsberg, Vice President, [email protected] Michaela Bergman, Principal Social Development Specialist, [email protected] Stephen Lintner, Senior Environmental and Social Adviser, [email protected] Hamid Sharif, Director General, CEIU, [email protected] Via electronic mail Subject: Change in reprisal risks under government responses to Covid-19 Dear President Jin Liqun, The COVID-19 pandemic has forced global actors to respond nimbly to rapidly changing conditions. We are aware of efforts the AIIB has made to support developing economies in this moment of crisis. It is critical that these efforts pay particular attention to and accommodate the individuals most vulnerable to abuses associated with development finance. To date we have not seen any statements clarifying how the AIIB is adapting its approach to risks of reprisals. The current context requires, however, concrete precautionary measures as we have seen increased reprisal risks, including: ● Defenders in lockdown being easier to find and target by authorities, security forces and other potential violators; ● Arbitrary arrest and detention of Defenders under pretext of violation of lockdown rules ● Increased stigmatisation of marginalised groups as contributing to the spread of Covid-19 (i.e., LGBT, Roma people, HIV-positive people, etc.) ● Suspended courts resulting in limited legal recourse

State- owned enterprises (SOEs) are assumed to be blindly following Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or security service orders with little concern for their own commercial interests. And private Chinese firms are conflated with SOEs and viewed as pawns in the CCP’s regional expansion strategy, despite the enormous growth of the Chinese private sector over the past two decades.

    Macro Policy Update Aug. 16 - Sept. 15 Deconstructing Ant Group Focus Ant, the parent of payment provider Alipay, is the world’s most valuable tech startup. Its Deep dive into the month’s planned dual listing in Hong Kong and on Shanghai’s high-tech STAR Market could be the ​ ​ ​ biggest story. biggest initial public offering (IPO) in the world this year. What is Ant, really, and how did it get here? Four pillars The group is currently divided into four basic divisions: - Digital finance - Insurance - International - Smart tech They work together, pulling in users with payments and keeping them around with attractive financial services, then using its proprietary data and synergies between products to upsell them on other products like insurance, before exporting its tech to the financial sector and expanding abroad. In its IPO, Ant wants to downplay the financial label and strengthen its reputation as a tech and big data company, perhaps because such firms generally gain higher valuations, but the reality is that the financial side is essential to the business. Alipay remains the core Started 17 year ago to solve payment challenges facing traders on Alibaba’s Taobao marketplace, it was designed as a Chinese answer to PayPal. Now the number of active Caixin Global Intelligence Weekly Macro Update 1 users on Alipay is more than three times that of PayPal, which is valued at $200 billion.

  • Chapter 3 Section 5
    SECTION 5: CHINA’S DOMESTIC INFORMATION CONTROLS, GLOBAL MEDIA INFLUENCE, AND CYBER DIPLOMACY Key Findings • China’s current information controls, including the govern- ment’s new social credit initiative, represent a significant es- calation in censorship, surveillance, and invasion of privacy by the authorities. • The Chinese state’s repression of journalists has expanded to target foreign reporters and their local Chinese staff. It is now much more difficult for all journalists to investigate politically sensitive stories. • The investment activities of large, Chinese Communist Par- ty-linked corporations in the U.S. media industry risk under- mining the independence of film studios by forcing them to consider self-censorship in order to gain access to the Chinese market. • China’s overseas influence operations to pressure foreign media have become much more assertive. In some cases, even without direct pressure by Chinese entities, Western media companies now self-censor out of deference to Chinese sensitivity. • Beijing is promoting its concept of “Internet sovereignty” to jus- tify restrictions on freedom of expression in China. These poli- cies act as trade barriers to U.S. companies through both cen- sorship and restrictions on cross-border data transfers, and they are fundamental points of disagreement between Washington and Beijing. • In its participation in international negotiations on global Inter- net governance, norms in cyberspace, and cybersecurity, Beijing seeks to ensure continued control of networks and information in China and to reduce the risk of actions by other countries that are not in its interest. Fearing that international law will be used by other countries against China, Beijing is unwilling to agree on specific applications of international law to cyberspace.
