  • Xi Is Facing Enormous Opposition“
    stars insights: 13 March 2020 „Xi Is Facing Enormous Opposition“ Over the course of the past 40 years, as China has transformed itself from a poor country into a major player on the global stage, the West has grown increasingly wary of China’s rise and its government’s assertive behaviour. What are the drivers behind these developments? And is China a threat for the existing rules-based international order? At a stars Switzerland alumni chapter meeting, China expert Prof. Dr. HUANG Jing shared his unique view of China’s internal politics and what it means for Europe and the world. Michael SETTELEN: The rise of China has led to an increasingly wary West. Is China a threat? HUANG Jing: China is a threat if you look at the country from the perspective of rivals, especially in terms of Western values or the political system. The fundamental difference is that the Washington Consensus – the neoliberal policies propagated by the West – upholds that, first, the individual’s right is more important than the collective good, and the well-being of the individual determines the well-being of society; second, the development is driven by a capitalist market economy in a – third – liberal democratic system. The Beijing Consensus – or China’s model – on the other hand believes that, first, the collective good, i.e. national interests, trumps everything. By this logic, individual rights can be sacrificed if necessary. Second, the development is driven by the “socialist market economy”. Some call it state capitalism. Third, the system is a socialist system under one- party rule.

  • 2020 Highlights
    A Message from the Vice President One of the most overstated observations of 2020 is how this year has been like no other. As I take a moment to reflect, I am amazed at the resilience of USU’s faculty, staff, and students who adapted to COVID-19’s “new normal.” What started out as a promising year with aggressive enrollment management goals, academic innovations, new faculty development programs, and exciting student success initiatives quickly shifted to a focus on rapidly migrating from face-to-face courses to remote learning and supporting faculty and students in teaching and learning. Summer 2020 was then spent preparing for a very different fall 2020 that included social distancing, virtual recruiting events, and expanding remote delivery while increasing our digital dependence and expertise. Academic and Instructional Services has been proud to support the university in these endeavors. As we close out this challenging year, I am happy to share some of highlights from our division that I consider bright spots in 2020 and building blocks for 2021 that further enhance our focus on quality, accessibility, and innovation.
