Christianity and Gender in Southeast China
Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/18940 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Cai, Xiang-yu Title: Christianity and gender in South-East China : the chaozhou missions (1849-1949) Date: 2012-05-10 CHAPTER TWO: PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC MISSIONS Introduction From the mid-nineteenth century, four missions—the Basel Mission, the English Presbyterian Mission (EPM), the American Baptist Mission (ABM) and Les Société des Missions Étrangères de Paris (MEP)—had a foothold in the Chaozhou region but were eventually expelled from mainland China in 1952. Since 1895, a dozen scholars have published about the history of their activities. In the first hundred years after 1895, nearly all of them were former missionaries or local church leaders.113 From the mid-1990s, historians who had no immediate connection with the missions such as Joseph Tse-Hei Lee, Hu Weiqing, and Lee Kam Keung (李金强) have stepped into this field.114 Joseph Tse-Hei Lee used the archives of the EPM and ABM as well as the British and American diplomatic sources and Chinese municipal archives to reconstruct the expansion of Protestantism into Chaozhou region in the second half of nineteenth century. He describes the transmission of Christianity in Chaozhou, a highly dynamic world with frequent migration and collective violence, which was totally different from more static, agrarian North China115. Hu Weiqing pioneered using the Chinese records of the English Presbyterian Synods at the Shantou Municipal Archives.116 His main interest was in the indigenization of Protestant Churches in Chaozhou. Lee Kam Keung has focused on the Swatow Protestant Churches in Hong Kong. -
Interview with Professor Ezra F. Vogel by KAY LU
Interview with Professor Ezra F. Vogel By KAY LU http://cnpolitics.org Ezra F. Vogel is the Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus at Harvard University and has written on Japan, China, and Asia generally. He published the best-selling book Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China in 2011 and its Mainland Chinese version in early 2013. Q: You said in the biography that Deng “would undoubtedly have taken pride in his role in creating and implementing the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy.” What does “One Country, Two System” mean in current context? How has its meaning evolved over the course of the thirty years? A: The meaning is really from a broad perspective, that Hong Kong could keep very much of its own system for about fifty years (he [Deng] did not say 50 years precisely, maybe longer), including [its] capitalist system, all the foreign companies, all its way of doing things, and its Legislative Council. They even allow foreigners to keep a job in the government. The governors will be from Hong Kong. He thought that over the years, perhaps both the mainland and Hong Kong will change, and at that time, it will be easier for Hong Kong to become a part [of China]. When Thatcher went to Beijing in 1982, she really wanted Hong Kong to keep British administrators after 1997 when china resumed sovereignty. Deng did not want British officials governing Hong Kong, but Deng agreed that the rulers of Hong Kong would be local people, not mainlanders. And the current situation is something that Deng did not foresee at that time. -
2. Founding Father Luo Zhengqi (1983-1989)
2. FOUNDING FATHER LUO ZHENGQI (1983-1989) To understand why SZU was established as it was is to understand the man who put his personal stamp on the university. In Luo Zhengqi’s personal story lay elements that were to influence his creating the school. Luo was assigned the SZU posts for several reasons: his youth, his Guangdong origins and his Party credentials. In fact, he was one of the very few academics in China who met these criteria. First, the SEdC sought SZU leadership that was young and could oversee the building of the university and the development of its reforms for at least a decade. Luo was just under 50 when he was selected for SZU. Second, his Guangdong heritage was also important. Panyu was Luo’s ancestral home, what Chinese refer to as “hometown.” Luo had never really lived in Panyu, but Panyu was still con- sidered his hometown. Cantonese—the major dialect of Guangdong prov- ince—was spoken in Luo’s childhood home, but since he grew up in Beijing, Luo spoke China’s official dialect putonghua (common Chinese or Manda- rin) without the Cantonese accent that marks the language as spoken in Southern China. Third, Luo’s credentials as vice-Party secretary of Qinghua were highly regarded. In addition, from 1980-1981 Luo had attended a col- lege for Party cadres. At this time, attending Party School was a requisite for promotion. Luo’s assignment to SZU can be attributed to another reason. In China, as in other countries, education has its own set of political dynamics that re- late to personalities, positioning and power-sharing. -

The “Rule of Law” Policy in Guangdong: Continuity Or Departure? Meaning, Significance and Processes* Linda Chelan Li
The “Rule of Law” Policy in Guangdong: Continuity or Departure? Meaning, Significance and Processes* Linda Chelan Li For two reasons the elevation of the law in government policy and political rhetoric in China in recent years inspires great interest and significance. The first is related to the perennial debate on the desirability and possibility of a “government of laws” versus a “government of men” in Chinese history. To what extent does the recent emphasis on the law indicate a movement towards the former from the latter? Given the importance of the issues of institutionalization and power distribution in the analysis of Chinese politics, what is the significance of this development of the law?1 What is, in other words, the meaning of the recent policy on the “rule of law”? Does it mean something new and what is that newness? The second cause of interest is the mere appearance of the topic itself. Why, and how, is it possible that the recent surge of deliberations on the rule of law occurred at all, if, as is often believed, individual leaders have heavily dominated Chinese politics? In other words, what underlying processes are at work to motivate the leaders to advocate the supremacy of the law, rather than the supremacy of their own authority? There has been a substantial body of literature on the status of the law in Chinese history and philosophy.2 Much of the discussion has revolved * Most of the field research was done in 1996 in Beijing and Guangzhou where I interviewed officials in the fields of law and legal administration, fiscal and finance, and economic reform planning, and had discussions with academics. -
