GALA & Symposium 2017 GALA & Symposium MARCH 5, 2017 The FOUR SEASONS San Francisco, CA Welcome to our 2017 Gala & Symposium! On Behalf of Our Gala Co-Chairs Brian A. Wong Sandra Pan 1990 Institute Board Member Chair Vice President, Alibaba Group 1990 Institute Gala Host Committee Daniel K.H. Chao Tim Kochis & Penelope Wong Paul Cheng Lucille & Billy Lee Richard & Beverly Chong Katherine Xu & Jiong Ma Margaret Liu Collins Janet Yang Robert Cox Vic Young William P. Fuller Grace & Dr. Peter Yu Douglas Ho Freda Lam Zietlow 3 Welcome Welcome from Our Gala Co-Chairs & Executive Director On behalf of the 1990 Institute, we are delighted to welcome you to our inaugural Symposium and 27th Annual Gala, our biggest event of the year. We are honored to have you with us tonight as we celebrate our IGNITE Award Honorees and the Institute’s grassroots work in deepening cross-cultural understanding with students, teachers and young professionals. This year, we broadened our programming with a Symposium that features panel discussions on topical issues across the broad landscape of modern China. We believe our Gala & Symposium’s spectacular lineup with over 16 speakers, special guests and honorees will take you beyond the headlines, offer fresh insights into China's economy and consumer trends, and encourage substantive dialogue. Our IGNITE Award honorees are individuals who have made significant contributions to furthering understanding between the U.S. and China, and to helping shape new perceptions of China, the Chinese, and Chinese culture. Given one of our key programs is focused in increasing the teaching of modern China in school curriculums and leveraging digital media, it is fitting that we are honoring three influential, China-based media executives -- Victor Koo of Alibaba, Liz Schimel of Condé Nast China and WPP China CEO Bessie Lee -- who are not only shaping the future of their industries but also helping lead China’s economic globalization, and investing heavily in education to help nurture the development of local talent needed in China's rapidly evolving marketing and digital landscape. We hope their personal journeys and diverse accomplishments will inspire many of you on many levels. Media, of course, holds a privileged place in social communication and can wield extensive influence on public opinion, cultural norms and values, and the popular imagination. Our IGNITE culinary honoree, Belinda Leong, of the wildly popular b. Patisserie, has not only set a new standard in artisan, French-inspired pastries-- she’s also created a new Chinese New Year tradition of black sesame kouign amanns, among others -- Chinese-inspired seasonal creations we wait all year-round for. Rising culinary star Kathy Fang, who grew up in the kitchen of House of Nanking, is also one to watch. She’s building upon her “Chopped Champion” titles, growing media fan-base, and continually honing her signature Cantonese-inspired multicultural cuisine at Fang Restaurant. 4 The 1990 Institute's mission is to deepen cross-cultural understanding between our two countries and to foster more U.S.-China savvy generations. Our event today brings together our community and raises the much-needed funding for our U.S.-China programs for students, teachers, women entrepreneurs, young professionals and all the other groups we reach. 2017 is a key growth year for the Institute, as we are focused on: • Elevating our flagship education program, CHINA NOW | For Teachers, through formal educational partnerships, by seeking endorsement from the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and taking a pilot group of teachers for a 2018 study tour to China. • Bringing in more speakers from China, like with this year’s Gala and Symposium, to enhance all of our programs – including our Speaker Series, Youth Voices on China, and Sinoscenti -- our new initiative aimed at U.S.- China Women Executives & Entrepreneurs. • Serving more teachers, younger generations and millennials through digital platforms. • Launching our first Teachers & Students Fund to help subsidize fees for this community to attend our events. Our bold goal this year is to raise over $1 million in fundraising to support our growth plans. We are grateful to both the J. T. Tai Foundation and Beatrice M.H. Young Foundations for being our supporting pillars. As always, we thank our Executive Committee, staff and volunteers for their dedication and tireless efforts to make tonight a success. Last but certainly not least, we thank all of you and all of our supporters who helped make tonight possible. Our work is more important NOW than ever, and we look forward to growing our vibrant and vital community with you. Enjoy the evening! Warmest regards, Sandra Pan Brian A. Wong Monica A.

  • Cultural Governance in Contemporary China: Popular Culture, Digital Technology, and the State
    ! ! ! ! CULTURAL GOVERNANCE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA: POPULAR CULTURE, DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY, AND THE STATE BY LUZHOU LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications and Media in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus John Nerone, Chair Assistant Professor Amanda Ciafone Professor Emeritus Dan Schiller Professor Kent Ono, University of Utah ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the historical formation and transformation of the Chinese online audiovisual industry under forces of strategic political calculations, expanding market relations, and growing social participation, and the cultural ramifications of this process, especially the kind of transformations digital technologies have wrought on the state-TV-station-centered mode of cultural production/distribution and regulatory apparatuses. Through this case, the project aims to theorize the changing mode of cultural governance of post-socialist regimes in the context of digital capitalism. Using mixed methods of documentary research, interviews with industry practitioners, participant observations of trade fairs/festivals, and critical discourse analyses of popular cultural texts, the study finds that the traditional broadcasting and the online video sectors are structured along two different political economic mechanisms. While the former is dominated by domestic capital and heavily regulated by state agencies, the latter is supported by transnational capital and less regulated. Digital technologies coupled with transnational capital thus generate new cultural flows, processes, and practices, which produces a heterogeneous and contested cultural sphere in the digital environment that substantially differs from the one created by traditional television.

  • Cyberspace and Gay Rights in a Digital China: Queer Documentary Filmmaking Under State Censorship
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Nottingham ePrints Cyberspace and gay rights in a digital China: Queer documentary filmmaking under state censorship Gareth Shaw and Xiaoling Zhang Correspondence Address: Gareth Shaw, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD [email protected] Abstract Owing to China’s austere censorship regulations on film media, directors of films and documentaries engaging with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender themes have struggled to bring their work to domestic attention. Working outside of the state-funded Chinese film industry has become necessary for these directors to commit their narratives to film, but without approval of China’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, these artists have had little chance of achieving widespread domestic distribution of their work. However, advancements in new media technology and Web 2.0, ranging from digital video formats to Internet-based distribution via social media networks and video-hosting platforms, provide opportunities for Chinese audiences to access films and documentaries dealing with LGBT themes. This empirical study assesses how production, promotion and consumption of queer documentary films are influenced by the development of social media within Chinese cyberspace. Through close readings of microblogs from Sina Weibo this study combines analysis of contemporary research with digital social rights activism to illustrate contemporary discourse regarding film-based LGBT representation in China. Finally, the study comments on the role that documentary filmmaking plays in China’s gay rights movement, and discusses the rewards (and challenges) associated with increased levels of visibility within society.

  • “A Real China”: on User-Generated Videos – Audiovisual Narratives of Confucianism
    tripleC 12(1): 342-355, 2014 http://www.triple-c.at “A Real China”: On User-Generated Videos – Audiovisual Narratives of Confucianism Jianxiu Hao Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, [email protected] Abstract: Beneath the “Chinese success story,” social stratification, class polarization, and cultural displacement have increased dramatically. Can Confucian values contribute to dissolving the down- sides of modernization in contemporary Chinese society? This paper investigates the current revival of Confucianism as a form of critique and a means of reconstructing of the Chinese socio-culture. Its data are user-generated videos. By means of a thematic audiovisual narrative analysis, the study is based on the material of 20 hours of Youku Paike videos uploaded between 2007 and 2013. The re- sults are: (1) About one third of the user-generated videos can be interpreted as Confucian thematic narratives with a slightly increasing trend in portrayals of values of Confucian origin. (2) Under the circumstances of China’s present modernization and cyberization, Confucianism may be contributing to the formation of a new online socio-culture advocating social action and humanistic values. Keywords: China, Confucianism, Cyberization, Audiovisual Narratives, Youku Paike Videos, Online Confucian Socio-Culture Acknowledgements: Thanks are due to Peter Ludes, Professor of Mass Communication at Jacobs University Bremen, and to Dominic Sachsenmaier, Professor of Modern Asian History in said place, for their inspiring dis- cussions on matters of critical theory, socio-culture and modernity in China. 1. Introduction Due to the recent three decades of phenomenal economic growth, China has undoubtedly become “a country of significance, in terms of tradition, history, civilization, population, and modernization” (Deng 2012, 12).
