The conference came at a time when certain countries have resorted to the “clash of civilizations” argument, bullying, unilateralism and an inward-looking mentality. President Xi noted there would be no clash of civilizations as long as people were able to appreciate the beauty of all civilizations. Qian Chengdan, a professor at Peking University, said the Xi-proposed event is relevant in the current political environment. “It will boost understanding among different civilizations and pave the way for a brighter future for humanity,” Mr Qian said. President Xi noted there would be no clash of civilizations as long as people were able to appreciate the beauty of all civilizations. “It is foolish to believe that one’s race and civilization are superior to others,” President Xi said. “It is disastrous to wilfully reshape or even replace other civilizations.” The Chinese president raised a four-point proposal to consolidate the “cultural foundation” of jointly building a community with a shared future for Asia and humanity: treating each other with respect and as equals; appreciating the beauty of all civilizations; adhering to openness, inclusiveness, mutual learning; and keeping pace with the times. Equality, reciprocality, diversity and multi- directionality are underscored in exchanges among civilizations. The exchanges, Mr Xi said, should neither be compulsory or forced, nor one-directional.

  • Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: the Emergence of the Yunnanese
    Between Winds and Clouds Bin Yang Chapter 5 Sinicization and Indigenization: The Emergence of the Yunnanese Introduction As the state began sending soldiers and their families, predominantly Han Chinese, to Yunnan, 1 the Ming military presence there became part of a project of colonization. Soldiers were joined by land-hungry farmers, exiled officials, and profit-driven merchants so that, by the end of the Ming period, the Han Chinese had become the largest ethnic population in Yunnan. Dramatically changing local demography, and consequently economic and cultural patterns, this massive and diverse influx laid the foundations for the social makeup of contemporary Yunnan. The interaction of the large numbers of Han immigrants with the indigenous peoples created a 2 new hybrid society, some members of which began to identify themselves as Yunnanese (yunnanren) for the first time. Previously, there had been no such concept of unity, since the indigenous peoples differentiated themselves by ethnicity or clan and tribal affiliations. This chapter will explore the process that led to this new identity and its reciprocal impact on the concept of Chineseness. Using primary sources, I will first introduce the indigenous peoples and their social customs 3 during the Yuan and early Ming period before the massive influx of Chinese immigrants. Second, I will review the migration waves during the Ming Dynasty and examine interactions between Han Chinese and the indigenous population. The giant and far-reaching impact of Han migrations on local society, or the process of sinicization, that has drawn a lot of scholarly attention, will be further examined here; the influence of the indigenous culture on Chinese migrants—a process that has won little attention—will also be scrutinized.

  • Mapping the Stateless in India’ 2 Phase
    A Brief Report on ‘Mapping the Stateless in India’ 2 Phase Prepared by Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group (CRG) GC-45, Sector 3, Salt Lake City, Kolkata – 700106 Website: www.mcrg.ac.in Executive summary The project ‘ Mapping the Stateless in India’ , carried out by the Calcutta Research Group has brought to the surface three sets of questions: • First, how are certain groups and communities rendered stateless? In the ethnically heterogeneous successor states in South Asia, why are the minorities more vulnerable to statelessness than others? Does protracted refugeehood eventually result in statelessness? Is the distinction between refugeehood and statelessness increasingly wearing thin? • Second, is the existing legal regime adequate in dealing with the problem of statelessness? What has been the experience with case laws in different situations related to statelessness in India? Can judicial activism as evident in some cases in recent years serve as an effective guarantee? • Third, do policymakers need to think beyond legal terms? Why does mere judicial activism prove ineffective? Does all this call for activating and strengthening the civil society institutions and initiatives? But how does one make the first move towards melting the ice of xenophobia against the outsiders who remain in the host country as stateless? • To grapple with these knotty issues, CRG decided to concentrate on four case studies: the inhabitants of the Chhitmahals (enclaves on the Indo-Bangladesh border); the Tamils of Indian origin – who migrated back from Sri Lanka and took shelter in different settlements in Tamil Nadu and some elsewhere, the Nepali- speaking population in the northeastern states, and the Chinese of Kolkata.

  • Cultural Tourism the Chinese Way: Negotiations for Bai Ethnic Minority Livelihoods in Dali, Yunnan
    Cultural Tourism the Chinese Way: Negotiations for Bai Ethnic Minority Livelihoods in Dali, Yunnan Yawei ZHAO Department of Geography McGill University, Montreal Submitted December 2015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Yawei Zhao 2015 Abstract Tourism, which the Chinese state advocates as a vehicle for modernization and poverty alleviation, has been established in Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, since the mid-1980s. Building upon scholarly literature on cultural tourism and sustainable livelihoods, this thesis examines the growth and structure of the cultural tourism sector in Dali and its impacts on Bai culture and livelihoods over three generations. I completed fieldwork during May–August 2014 in Dali City, the prefecture’s main tourist destination, employing five qualitative research methods: participant observation, unstructured interviews, semi-structured interviews, oral histories, and Photovoice. My results point to certain negative impacts of cultural tourism growth on the local economy, environment, and society. Concurrently, local Bai people respond to specific local tourism decisions with everyday forms of resistance. Furthermore, the staging and commoditization of certain aspects of Bai culture for tourism purposes have ended up warping what are considered traditional practices in several cases. By considering the influences of tourism growth on local Bai livelihoods through generational and individual lenses, this thesis unravels the complex interactions between cultural tourism, Bai culture, and Bai livelihoods, highlighting both the positive and negative outcomes of tourism growth on Bai culture and livelihoods. I Résumé Le gouvernement chinois préconise le développement touristique comme un vecteur de modernisation sociale et un outil de lutte à la pauvreté dans la Préfecture de Dali depuis le milieu des années 1980.

  • Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups
    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.
