  • November 2020 Trade Bulletin
    November 9, 2020 Highlights of This Month’s Edition • Bilateral trade: In the first three quarters of 2020, the U.S. goods trade deficit was $223 billion, down 5 percent year-on-year, with agricultural exports to China up 92.8 percent from last year; in Q2 2020, the U.S. services surplus with China reached $11.7 billion, a record low due to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Policy trends in China’s economy: At the Fifth Plenum, the CCP stressed economic self-reliance and stronger domestic innovation; China’s new Export Control Law has a broad scope that creates the potential for arbitrary restrictions on Chinese exports, extraterritorial reach, and retaliation against foreign exporters and end users; China’s government introduced the digital RMB; the new Chengdu-Chongqing regional integration plan reflects a multiyear strategy of fostering economic development centered on innovation and exports. • Quarterly review of China’s economy: China reported GDP growth of 4.9 percent year-on-year in Q3, but a sluggish recovery elsewhere in the world and concerns over debt could undermine growth going forward; this year’s “Golden Week” saw a return to consumption, though indicators point to worsening income disparities. • Financial markets: Suspension of blockbuster Ant Group IPO underscores the CCP’s control over private enterprise in China. • In focus – Trends in supply chain realignment: Preliminary data and anecdotal evidence suggest the complete uprooting of supply chains out of China is unlikely, with gradual diversification emerging as a more prominent

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • 11. Ts'ung-Shu
    Handbook of Reference Works in Traditional Chinese Studies (R. Eno, 2011) 11. TS’UNG-SHU Ts’ung-shu 叢書 (sometimes referred to as “collectanea”) are collections of independent works that are published together in order to preserve them, to market them effectively, or to present a unified series edition. Ts’ung-shu may be, and most often are, miscellaneous collections, but there are many that are published to give broader circulation to the writings of one person, one family, or one locality, to collect editions or commentaries of a single work or group of works, or to bring together a number of works related by subject or genre. In this respect, many ts’ung-shu resemble anthologies. Although there is some conceptual overlap between the two genres, ts’ung-shu are, strictly speaking, collections only of entire independent books, rather than collections of sections, stories, poems, or prefaces selected from the larger works of which they originally formed a part. This distinction is sometimes blurred, but is generally unambiguous. The philologist Lo Chen-yü 羅振玉, himself the compiler of several ts’ung-shu, claimed that ts’ung-shu had flourished in China since early Chou times, when texts were cast on bronze. While this may be an exaggeration, Lo was correct in noting that the Han Dynasty “stone classics” stele monuments constituted an early ts’ung-shu, as did the Imperially commissioned “Nine Classics” project of the T’ang period. It is perfectly reasonable to view pre-Ch’in compendia such as the Lü-shih ch’un-ch’iu 呂氏春秋 and the Kuan Tzu 管子 as ts’ung-shu, and in their early bamboo forms they would have appeared as huge and encyclopedic as the Ssu-k’u collection does today.
