    Knowledge Control and Social Contestation in China's

    Science in Movements This book analyzes and compares the origins, evolutionary patterns and consequences of different science and technology controversies in China, including hydropower resistance, disputes surrounding genetically modified organisms and the nuclear power debate. The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies, and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly, and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different con- troversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes and activists’ strategies have jointly triggered, nur- tured and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China’ssocialtransformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China’s science controversies and social movements.

    NEWSBloomberg Xi Jinping Millionaire Relations Reveal Elite Chinese Fortunes By Bloomberg News June 29, 2012 – Xi Jinping, the man in line to be China’s next president, warned officials on a 2004 anti-graft conference call: “Rein in your spouses, children, relatives, friends and staff, and vow not to use power for personal gain.” As Xi climbed the Communist Party ranks, his extended family expanded their business interests to include minerals, real estate and mobile-phone equipment, according to public documents compiled by Bloomberg. Those interests include investments in companies with total assets of $376 million; an 18 percent indirect stake in a rare- earths company with $1.73 billion in assets; and a $20.2 million holding in a Xi Jinping, vice president of China, visits the China Shipping terminal at the Port of Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on publicly traded technology company.

    Authorizing a Disability Agency in Post-Mao China: Deng Pufang's Story

    Authorizing a Disability Agency in Post-Mao China: Deng Pufang’s Story as Biomythography Matthew Kohrman Stanford University One day in early 1971, officials of Beijing University (Beida) arrived at the 301st Brigade Military Hospital. They entered and approached the bedside of a former Beida graduate student, a young man who had lost the ability to walk two years earlier. The officials told the young man they wished to transfer him elsewhere to convalesce. Still the dutiful student, he consented, and in the af- ternoon he was packed into a jeep and moved to the Qing He Shelter (Qing He Jiuji Yuan) 45 kilometers northwest of Tiananmen Square. Originally a nursing home for women, Qing He had become a place of last refuge for a variety of people following the Korean War. Wounded veterans without family were brought there and gradually all sorts of what Chinese then often called fei ren (social outcasts, lit., “garbage people”) ended up at Qing He. These outcasts included orphans, the mentally impaired, the deaf and mute, the chronically ill, and persons with other forms of bodily difference that were viewed locally as highly delegitimizing. According to published reports, con- ditions at the shelter were dire at the time when the former Beida student ar- rived. Most residents slept six or seven to a bed. Medical care was unavailable. Meals were usually nothing more than rice, bread, and small amounts of vege- tables. Before his arrival at Qing He, the young paralyzed man was already quite melancholy, as one of his biographers recounts. For, by then, the people plotting against him had already succeeded at stripping him of his cherished posses- sions: “his party membership, his university diploma and credentials, his fully healthy body, [and] his family” (Qin 1992:205).

    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue Wither Transparency Mask No. 206 in Impending Chinese Leadership Change Oct 2012 Wither Transparency Mask in Impending Chinese Leadership Change Dr. Sheo Nandan Pandey Prof. Hem Kusum October 2012 Abstract The 18th National Party Congress of the Communist Party of China beginning November 8, 2012 shall go down in the annals of the People’s Republic of China as a latent game changer with the fifth and sixth generation political leadership in saddle, though in a limited way. This is since thanks to the success of the Chinese ruling elite in silencing the opposing voice. Stamping out Bo Xilai line in China’s characteristic way is a case in point. The analytics of the paper unravels a great deal of truth on China’s political culture in offing. Adhering broadly to the tenets of social exploratory research design, the analytics schematically focuses on: system dynamics of leadership change, catalyst role and impacts of electoral laws and procedures, and plausible horizon of continuity and change in political fabric. Though inconclusive, the findings suggest that the Chinese political system and practices in the present form hold little promise for the tenets of democracy to prevail over otherwise autocratic system ruling the roost.

    Its Formation and Maintenance Grace Lauren Chao

    Elite Status in the People’s Republic of China: Its formation and maintenance Grace Lauren Chao Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 @2013 Grace L. Chao All rights reserved ABSTRACT Elite Status in the People’s Republic of China: Its Formation and Maintenance Grace L. Chao The goal of this dissertation is to determine how elite status in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is formed, maintained, and perpetuated. The role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is studied to see how the CCP confirms elite status. The political, military, and commercial elites form the membership of the national leadership bodies of the CCP and the PRC government, and as such, they hold the most influence. The political elites hold the most status and prestige. Other elites exist, namely in the form of scholarly, artistic, and born elites. It is important to realize the role of the CCP and PRC government in confirming PRC elite status. Political, commercial, and military elites claim elite status by their position in the CCP and government hierarchy. Born elites gain their status from being related via blood or marriage to political, commercial, or military elites. Artistic and scholarly elites derive their status from how closely they are aligned to the CCP and government.
