    The History and Politics of Taiwan's February 28

    The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of History © Yen-Kuang Kuo, 2020 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.
  • Chinese Culture Themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to A

    Chinese Culture Themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to A

    Chinese Culture themes and Cultural Development: from a Family Pedagogy to a Performance-based Pedagogy of a Foreign Language and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nan Meng Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Galal Walker, Advisor Mari Noda Mineharu Nakayama Copyright by Nan Meng 2012 Abstract As the number of Americans studying and working in China increases, it becomes important for language educators to reconsider the role of culture in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. Many American learners of Chinese fail to achieve their communicative goals in China because they are unable to establish and convey their intentions, or to interpret their interlocutors’ intentions. Only knowing the linguistic code is not sufficient; therefore, it is essential to develop learners’ abilities to be socialized to Chinese culture. A working definition of culture theme as a series of situated acts associated with cultural values is proposed. In order to explore how children acquire culture themes with competent social guides, a quantitative comparative study of maternal speech and a micro-ethnographic discourse analysis of adult-child interactions are presented. Parental discourse patterns are shown to be culturally specific activities that not only foster language development, but also maintain normative dimensions of social life. The culture themes are developed at a young age through children’s interactions with Chinese speakers under the guidance of their parents or caregivers. In order to communicate successfully people have to do things within the shared time and space provided by the culture.

    The Views Expressed in This Presentation Are the Personal Opinion of the Author and Do Not Necessarily Represent the Position of the Philippine Government

    Justice Antonio T. Carpio The views expressed in this presentation are the personal opinion of the author and do not necessarily represent the position of the Philippine Government. China’s 9-dashed Lines China’s new “national boundaries” under the 9-dashed lines Macclesfield Bank Nine-dashed Lines Map Submitted by China to UN in 2009 China did not explain the legal basis for the dashes. The dashes had no fixed coordinates. In 2013, China released a new map of China, adding a 10th dash on the eastern side of Taiwan. In its 2013 map, China claims the 10 dashed lines are its “national boundaries” without explaining the legal basis or giving the fixed coordinates for the dashes. The 2013 China map was published by SinoMaps Press, under the jurisdiction of China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. This means the 2013 Map is an official Chinese government map. In its Note Verbale of June 7, 2013 to China, the Philippines stated it "strongly objects to the indication that the nine- dash lines are China's national boundaries in the West Philippine Sea/South China Sea.” China’s New Map with 10 dashes (2013) Printed in a 1947 map, China’s 9-dashed lines have no fixed coordinates. Originally 11 dashes, two dashes in the Gulf of Tonkin were removed in 1950 without explanation. In 2013, one dash was added east of Taiwan. The new 2013 China map, with 10 dashed lines, is printed by SinoMaps Press. What is the Effect of China’s “National Boundaries” under the 9-dashed Lines? The Philippines loses about 80% of its EEZ facing the West Philippine Sea, including the entire Reed Bank and part of the Malampaya gas field.

  • Hu's Groundwork for the 17Th Party Congress

    Hu's Groundwork for the 17Th Party Congress

    Li, China Leadership Monitor, No.13 New Provincial Chiefs: Hu’s Groundwork for the 17th Party Congress Cheng Li Understanding the kinds of leaders Hu Jintao currently promotes also reveals the political and socioeconomic objectives he will most likely pursue in the future. Throughout 2004, especially after Hu consolidated his power at the Fourth Plenum of the 16th Central Committee in September, China’s provincial leadership underwent a major reshuffling. Most of the newly appointed provincial chiefs (party secretaries and governors) advanced their political careers primarily through the Chinese Communist Youth League (CCYL), received postgraduate education (usually in economics and management), and were leaders in less developed inland provinces. Their recent promotions are attributable not only to their political ties with Hu, but also to the fact that they share Hu’s populist vision for China’s development. Some of these provincial chiefs will be Hu’s nominees for Politburo seats at the next party congress. They will likely become part of Hu’s team to carry out political reform and socioeconomic policies in line with Hu’s perceived mandate. Deciphering Hu’s Leadership Ever since becoming general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at the 16th Party Congress, Hu Jintao has demonstrated his political wisdom and skill by making major policy moves while deliberately confusing potential critics both at home and abroad.1 Examples abound: • While he presents himself as a populist leader who represents the interests of the Chinese people, Hu’s main political agenda is to consolidate what the Chinese call inner-party democracy, which is “democracy” enjoyed only by party elites and not the general public.

    Cellular Sources of Interleukin 16 in Benign and Malignant Pleural Effusions

    Cellular sources of interleukin 16 in benign and malignant pleural effusions LI Jian-jun W E I W e i SHI Huan-zhong LI Ying-xin MO Wu-ning interleukin 16;.flow cytometry; immunohistochemistry; pleural disease Background Interleukin 16 (IL-16) can be detected by ELISA in pleural effusion (PE) and its concentration is higher than in serum. This study investigated the cellular sources of IL-16 in PE. Methods The samples of PE were collected from 34 patients who were newly diagnosed having PE in the pleural cavity. We performed cell culture to purify the pleural mesothelial cells (PMC), Wright staining to count the purity and immu nocytochemic al stain to i dentify the cultured cell s. The intracellular IL-16 expression was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The different cells in PE were first separated by magnetic cell sorting (MCAS) then the separated cells were cultured in RPMI1640 with 10％ fetal calf serum (FCS). We extracted the supernatant and detected IL-16 concentration by ELISA. The IL-16 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence staining. Results The percentages of cells which secreted IL-16 were: CD3+CD8 cells ((74.27±15.56)％, n=34); CD3+CD8+ cells ((69.86±18.55)％, n=34); CD19+ cells ((45.30±18.77)％, n=15); CD14+ cells ((16.91±16.69)％, n=15); and PMC ((2. 05±1.85)％, n=7). The co ncentrations of IL-16 in the supernatant from cultured cells were: CD4+ cells ((102.50±42.51) ng/L , n=5); CD8+ cells ((92.5 8±18.34) ng /L, n=5); CD1 9+ cells ((79.85±5.62) ng/L, n=5); CD14+ cells ((58.51±25.38) ng/L, n=5); and PMC ((18.14±8.37) ng/L, n=5).
