  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.

    HEBDOMADARIO DE LA POLÍTICA TAIWANESA Nº 13/2013 * Semana del 25 de Noviembre al 1 de Diciembre [email protected] 1) Informe 2) Observaciones de contexto 3) Datos relevantes 4) Nombres relevantes 1. Informe El anuncio de China continental del establecimiento de una Zona de Identificación de Defensa Aérea en el Mar de China Oriental, que incluye en su perímetro a las deshabitadas Diaoyutai, también provocó revuelo en Taiwán. Taipei, que calificó la decisión de “lamentable”, reunió a su Consejo de Seguridad Nacional y estableció contacto con EEUU y Japón, significando que ni sus reclamos de soberanía ni la leve superposición de esta nueva zona con la propia de la República de China motivarían cambios en la delimitación de su propia área. Por su parte, Beijing hizo saber que la citada zona concuerda “con los intereses de ambos lados del Estrecho”. A la pregunta de si Taiwán la aceptaría o no, el gobierno no ha respondido de manera definitiva pero 1 las aerolíneas han empezado a entregar sus planes de vuelo a China continental (al igual que Singapur o Filipinas y, unos días después, Corea del Sur y EEUU, por el momento) argumentando razones de seguridad. Taipei, señaló que la decisión, que en ningún caso fue objeto de consulta previa, no es favorable para el positivo desarrollo de las relaciones a través del Estrecho y así se lo hará saber al continente “a través de los canales adecuados”. La oposición acusó al gobierno de respuesta “muy débil” ante tal violación de la soberanía taiwanesa. Los diputados del PDP y la UST ocuparon el estrado de la presidencia del Yuan legislativo para protestar, exigiendo medidas enérgicas.

Wright, Chair Professor David Zilberman Professor Thibault Fally Professor Peter L. Lorentzen Spring 2017 Essays in China's Anti-corruption Campaign Copyright 2017 by Xi Lu 1 Abstract Essays in China's Anti-corruption Campaign by Xi Lu Doctor of Philosophy in Agricultural and Resource Economics University of California, Berkeley Professor Brian D. Wright, Chair China's unique system of hiring and promoting talented people within the state, under the supervision of the Communist Party, has been held up as an important institutional factor supporting its remarkably rapid and sustained economic growth. Jointly with Professor Peter L. Lorentzen, we explore this meritocracy argument in the context of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's ongoing anti-corruption campaign. Some question the sincerity of the campaign, arguing that it is nothing but a cover for intra-elite struggle and a purge of Xi's opponents. In the first chapter of my thesis, we use a dataset I have created to identify accused officials and map their connections. Our evidence supports the Party's claim that the crackdown is primarily a sincere effort to cut down on the widespread corruption that was undermining its efforts to develop an effective meritocratic governing system.

  • 27 the China Factor in Taiwan
    Wu Jieh-min, 2016, “The China Factor in Taiwan: Impact and Response”, pp. 425-445 in Gunter Schubert ed., Handbook of T Modern Taiwan Politics and Society, Routledge. 27 THE CHINA FACTOR IN TAIWAN Impact and response Jieh-Min Wu* Since the turn of the century, the rise of China has inspired global a1nbitions and heightened international anxiety.

Hence Taiwan, whose sovereignty continues to be contested by the PRC, has been heavily i1npacted by China's new strategy. The Chinese ca1npaign kno\vn as 'using business to steer politics' has arguably been success­ ful in achieving inany of the effects desired by Beijing. For exan1ple, the Chinese government has repeatedly leveraged Taiwan's trade and econonllc dependence to intervene in Taiwan's elections. Such econonllc dependence n1ay constrain Taiwanese choices within a structure of Beijing's creation. In son1e historical 1no1nents, however, subjective identity and collect­ ive action could still en1erge as 'independent variables' that open up \Vindo\vs of opportun­ ity, expanding the range of available choices.
