One of the symbols for Sankofa (above right) depicts a mythical bird moving forward, but with its head turned backward. The egg in its mouth represents the "gems" or knowledge of the past upon which wisdom is based; it also signifies the generation to come that would benefit from that wisdom.

Claremont McKenna College Tapping the Potential of Sports: Incentives in China’s Reformation of the Sports Industry Submitted to Professor Minxin Pei by Yu Fu for Senior Thesis Spring 2017 April 24, 2017 2 Abstract Since the 2010s, China’s sports industry has undergone comprehensive reforms. This paper attempts to understand this change of direction from the central state’s perspective. By examining the dynamics of the basketball and soccer markets, it discovers that while the deregulation of basketball is a result of persistent bottom-up effort from the private sector, the recentralization of soccer is a state-led policy change. Notwithstanding the different nature and routes between these reforms, in both sectors, the state’s aim is to restore and strengthen its legitimacy within the society. Amidst China’s economic stagnation, the regime hopes to identify sectors that can drive sustainable growth, and to make adjustments to its bureaucracy as a way to respond to the society’s mounting demand for political modernization.

  • State's Information Control and People's Beliefs in Political Rumors
    University of Nevada, Reno Rumor Markets: State’s Information Control and People’s Beliefs in Political Rumors A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science By Chengli Wang Dr. Robert Ostergard/Dissertation Advisor May, 2018 © by Chengli Wang 2018 All Rights Reserved i ABSTRACT In contemporary China, despite heavy censorship, political rumors about corruption and scandals are rampant on the Internet and social media. Contrary to popular intuition, I argue political rumors are prevalent in China because they hold essential functions in maintaining authoritarian resilience: both the government and the people use rumors as an important channel in disseminating their political messages. To test my hypotheses, I conducted an online survey experiment in 2017 in China. I established four models of information exchange that analyze how the state’s information control and a lack of political trust create an underground market mechanism for unauthorized information, which stimulates people purchasing rumors as substitute goods. In information black markets, rumors fill the supply gap of official news that is usually censored by the state or be replaced by propaganda. In gray markets, the state’s information manipulation, such as using rumors to test and guide public opinion, encourages people to take rumors as more accessible and equally reliable sources of news. This research contributes to policy-making in combating political rumors and fake news. Since the inaccessibility and absence of credible information would lead to a proliferation of online rumors, a possible pathway for reducing online rumors is that the government needs to make a “supply-side” reform of official news rather than unilaterally to strike unauthorized information.

  • Yao Ming Biography from Current Biography International Yearbook
    Yao Ming Biography from Current Biography International Yearbook (2002) Copyright (c) by The H. W. Wilson Company. All rights reserved. In his youth, the Chinese basketball player Yao Ming was once described as a "crane towering among a flock of chickens," Lee Chyen Yee wrote for Reuters (September 7, 2000). The only child of two retired professional basketball stars who played in the 1970s, Yao has towered over most of the adults in his life since elementary school. His adult height of seven feet five inches, coupled with his natural athleticism, has made him the best basketball player in his native China. Li Yaomin, the manager of Yao's Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, compared him to America's basketball icon: "America has Michael Jordan," he told Ching-Ching Ni for the Los Angeles Times (June 13, 2002), "and China has Yao Ming." In Yao's case, extraordinary height is matched with the grace and agility of a much smaller man. An Associated Press article, posted on ESPN.com (May 1, 2002), called Yao a "giant with an air of mystery to him, a player who's been raved about since the 2000 Olympics." Yao, who was eager to play in the United States, was the number-one pick in the 2002 National Basketball Association (NBA) draft; after complex negotiations with the Chinese government and the China Basketball Association (CBA), Yao was signed to the Houston Rockets in October 2002. Yao Ming was born on September 12, 1980 in Shanghai, China. His father, Zhiyuan, is six feet 10 inches and played center for a team in Shanghai, while his mother, Fang Fengdi, was the captain of the Chinese national women's basketball team and was considered by many to have been one of the greatest women's centers of all time.

Séminaire BRICs FMSH - CRBC The Lions’s Share, Act 2. What’s Behind China’s Anti-Corruption Campaign? Guilhem Fabre N°92 | april 2015 As we have seen in a previous working paper ( « The lion’s share : What’s behind China’s economic slowdown ? »), China’s elite have largely benefited from control of state assets and manipulation of the factors market (land, labor and capital) during the first decade of this cen- tury. Along with strong growth and social mobility, the accumulation of wealth has created some of the most flagrant social polarization worldwide, much higher than the official statistics. Instead of taking concrete measures to correct these inequalities, according to the new blueprint of reforms launched by the 3rd Plenum in November 2013, the new direction has focused on a gigantic campaign against corruption.
