    The Darkest Red Corner Chinese Communist Intelligence and Its Place in the Party, 1926-1945 Matthew James Brazil A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Business School University of Sydney 17 December 2012 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.

  • China's Foreign Policy Gamble
    OVERSTRETCH? CHINA’S FOREIGN POLICY GAMBLE AUGUST 2020 Introduction François Godement The packaging and selling of China’s foreign policy and diplomacy has become a hard task, even for China- based experts who try not to depart too much from the Party-state’s scripts. The examples glimpsed for the three articles in this issue of China Trends cover only a few of the issues and conflicts that Xi Jinping’s “new era” has brought to the fore. Discourse management – an issue that is often divorced from reality – the explanations now used for the South China Sea, and the reasons for the deviation from normal diplomatic behavior by several envoys in the past year – are considered here. But other issues could be added: China’s stepped up naval and air actions around Taiwan (which of course is NOT considered an act of foreign policy for China), ever more persistent action in the area of the Senkaku islands, and a violent border confrontation with India around irredentist Chinese claims. In a broader view of things, China’s rising military strength has so far not led to out of the region confrontations. China has even restrained its “showing the flag” actions around Europe since the 2017 circumnavigation of our continent, and it concentrates The reality is that China has on commercial penetration, technology acquisition and discourse management. Yet even there a grey zone has appeared, with more and more high-profile cyber actions, not made any openings to manipulation of information through social media, including bots. International reforms in these international organizations would seem to be an ideal ground for increased influence from China, since the Trump temptation to withdraw dismays its partners.

  • Eric Voegelin's Reception in China Copyright 2008 Professor LI Qiang
    Eric Voegelin's Reception in China Copyright 2008 Professor LI Qiang Eric Voegelin wrote about China , once taught courses related to China , and even could read Chinese text. Nevertheless, he never traveled to China. During his life time, he might not expect that his ideas would have important impact on China. In the past several years, however, the name of Eric Voegelin has begun to be discussed more and more in the Chinese intellectual world. His massive writings are in the process of translating into Chinese. His main works have been seriously studied by scholars and young students alike. Chinese scholars treat Voegelin not only as someone who has contributed significantly to philosophy, politics, religion, and history, but as an important source of intellectual inspiration which might help Chinese to understand or even solve the ideological predicament China is facing today. In the following, I will first briefly review the current situation of Voegelin studies in China , I will then analyze the intellectual environment which facilitates Voegelin's reception in China , and finally, I will discuss some themes which Chinese scholars have found important in Voegelin's writings. I. Writings and translations related to Voegelin Voegelin's name was not entirely new to China before the recent surge of Voegelin interest. Since the 1980s, along with the flux of translation of Western writings in philosophy, politics and history, Voegelin's name was occasionally mentioned in some translations. For instance, a widely read Chinese translation of Contemporary European Political Ideas by Salvo Mastellone, an Italian political scientist, contains a chapter on Voegelin.

  • The 19Th Central Committee Politburo
    The 19th Central Committee Politburo Alice Miller The 19th CCP Congress and the new Central Committee it elected followed longstanding norms in appointing a new party Politburo. The major exception was the failure to appoint candidates to the Politburo Standing Committee who would succeed to the posts of party general secretary and PRC premier n 2022. Appointments to the new Politburo and its standing committee, as well as to other top leadership bodies, emerged from the 19th Central Committee’s First Plenum on 25 October 2017, as reported by the plenum communiqué and as transmitted by the state news agency Xinhua the same day. The 19th Central Committee was itself elected at 19th CCP Congress, held 18-24 October, which also heard reports on the work of the outgoing 18th Central Committee and Central Commission for Discipline Inspection delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping and by party discipline chief Wang Qishan, respectively. The New Politburo As Table 1 shows, the turnover of members from the outgoing Politburo to the new one rivals the generational transfer of membership at the last party congress in 2012 and exceeds that at the last mid-term party congress, the 17th in 2007. Including former Chongqing party boss Sun Zhengcai, who was removed for corruption in the months preceding the 19th Congress, 15 members of the 18th Central Committee Politburo stepped down and were replaced by 15 new members.
