ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) Xi Jinping’s Chinese Dream has elicited the assistance of ethnic Chinese people around the world in achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The People’s Republic of China has not hidden its intent at influencing the overseas Chinese diaspora having embarked on a soft power campaign to achieve its geopolitical objectives. Using its extensive state media apparatus, the PRC has extended its media influence throughout the globe with a persistent narrative conforming to the China “story” developed by the Chinese Communist Party. This study determines the extent to which China leverages its state media and diaspora to promote its narratives regarding its core national interests around the world. These interests concern primarily its issues over sovereignty to include the South China Sea, Taiwan, Tibet, and Xinjiang. This study includes a quantitative analysis through regression testing of a sample of Twitter and media archive data and United Nations migrant data. Furthermore, this study highlighted several regional cases in Oceania—namely, Australia and New Zealand—and Southeast Asia in a qualitative analysis to answer this study’s research question. Overall, this study found significance of a relationship between Tweets regarding the PRC’s core national issues and the Chinese diaspora implicating overseas Chinese communities’ contribution to the PRC’s geopolitical narratives. 14.

  • Chinese Nationalism, Cyber-Populism, and Cross-Strait Relations
    Chinese Nationalism, cyber-populism, and cross-strait relations Ye Weili; Michael Toomey Wenzhou-Kean University THIS IS A PRELIMINARY, INCOMPLETE FIRST DRAFT PREPARED FOR THE 2017 ISA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN HONG KONG: DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT THE AUTHOR’S PERMISSION Abstract: In November 2015, a Taiwanese singer named Chou Tzuyu appeared on a Korean TV show as a member of the pop group ‘Twice’. During the show, she claimed that she was from Taiwan (without mentioning China), and waved the Republic of China flag. Chou was subsequently the recipient of vociferous condemnation from Chinese ‘netizens’, and eventually was compelled to make a public apology for her actions. This apology became the center of an Internet-based dispute between the netizens of mainland China and Taiwan, conducted mainly on the Facebook page of then Taiwanese Presidential candidate, Tsai Yingwen. Subsequently, the tone of this dispute had significant effects on the 2016 Taiwanese general election, with a decisive number of Taiwanese voters switching their support to Tsai. “Cyber-populism”, and the online activities of nationalistic Chinese netizens, are not just limited to the Chou Tzuyu incident. Indeed, Chinese netizens have been vocal in the wake of other international incidents, such as the United Nations Convention ruling on the so-called “Nine-Dash Line” dispute. However, the Chou Tzuyu case was particularly notable for its clearly counterproductive outcome: an argument over the use of Taiwanese symbols of nationalist identity, driven by the identities and objectives of Chinese nationalists, contributed to the electoral success of a pro-Taiwanese independence political party. With this in mind, this paper examines the relationship between Chinese nationalism and cyber-populism, and discusses the effects of this phenomenon on the achievement of China’s stated foreign policy goals.

  • Laugh Your Way to Victory
    CHAPTER V Laugh Your Way to Victory want you to take a moment and play one of my favorite I games. It’s called “Pretend Police.” It’s fun. Here goes. Pretend you’re the police in Ankara, Turkey. A few days ago, security guards in one of the busiest subway stations in town spotted a couple making out on the platform. Strict Muslims, the guards were bugged by such immodest behavior in public, so they did the only thing they could really do, 98 Blueprint for Revolution which was get on the subway’s PA system and ask all passen- gers to behave themselves and stop kissing each other. Be- cause everyone in Ankara has smartphones, this little incident was leaked to the press within minutes; by the afternoon, politicians opposed to the ruling Islamist-based party realized that they had gold on their hands and started encouraging their supporters to stage huge demonstrations to protest this silly anti- smooching bias. This is where you come in. On Sat- urday, the day of the demonstration, you show up in uni- form, baton at hand, ready to keep the peace. Walking into the subway station, you see more than a hundred young men and women chanting anti-government slogans and provoking your colleagues. Someone shoves someone. Someone loses their cool. Soon it’s a full- blown riot. If you’re seriously playing along, it’s probably not hard to figure out what to do. You’re a police officer, and you’ve probably spent a whole week at the academy training for situ- ations just like this.

Emojis have evolved into a primary lexicon for online human trafficking. This coded language has allowed online human traffickers to evade detection and prosecution. Courts and law enforcement are confused by the seemingly innocent use of emojis in advertisements and conversations that have serious human trafficking implications. Now, the code is cracked.

  • The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Estrangement of US-China Relations
    The Covid-19 Pandemic and the Estrangement of US-China Relations Dali L. Yang This article assesses US-China relations during the Covid-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, the US-China trade war created an atmosphere of bitterness and mistrust in bilateral relations and also prompted the Chinese leadership to seek to enhance its “discourse power” through “wolf warrior” diplomacy. This atmosphere hampered US-China communi- cation and cooperation during the initial phase of the pan- demic. The unleashing of “wolf warrior” diplomacy as the pandemic spread round the world, especially in the United States, has exacerbated US-China relations and served to ac- celerate the transition of US policy toward China from con- structive engagement to strategic competition. Keywords: COVID-19, wolf warrior diplomacy, US-China trade war, US-China relations, pandemic psychology. PANDEMICS SUCH AS COVID-19 NOT ONLY CAUSE SICKNESS AND DEATH BUT also induce mega socioeconomic and psychological shocks. As the American Psychological Association states, the Covid-19 “coronavirus pandemic is an epidemiological and psychological crisis. The enormity of living in isolation, changes in our daily lives, job loss, financial hard- ship and grief over the death of loved ones has the potential to affect the mental health and well-being of many” (American Psychological Asso- ciation 2020). The pandemic has contributed to stress, anxiety, and even panic in individuals, conflict and abuse in some families, and intergroup tensions through avoidance, blame, stigmatization, and conflict over re- sources (Dubey et al. 2020). In examining the relationship between pandemics and public policy, of which foreign policy is a key dimension, much of the attention is on the harm to and protection of individuals, families, and social groups.

Unlike the first volume of the journal, which was divided into sections focusing on philosophical and cultural investigations, artistic expressions and scientific interventions, in the interdisciplinary and comparative spirit of the lecture series from which the journal takes inspiration, this second volume encourages the reader to explore the contributions without the apparatus of section headers, through juxtaposition and through sequential or associative browsing.
