Jewish Refugees in Shanghai,’ Tells Story of Survival by Greg Hugh HINA NSIGHT C Fostering business and culturalI harmony between China and the U.S. VOL. 14 NO. 3 March 2015 Historic exhibit,‘Jewish Refugees in Shanghai,’ tells story of survival By Greg Hugh Today, few would guess that Shanghai once played host to a bustling community of 18,000 – 20,000 Jews -- the focus of History, pp.4-5 the exhibit “Jewish Refugees in Shanghai (1932-1941).” For Jews desperate to flee the Nazi regime but barred from entry al- most everywhere, Shanghai was the “Last Place on Earth” and a rescuing Noah’s Ark. The exhibit runs March 19 – May 7, 2015, at the Sabes Jewish Community Center, 4330 S. Cedar Lake Road, St. Louis Park. A grand opening reception will take place on Thursday, March 19, at 5 p.m. Business in China, p.1, 7 and is free and open to the public. As part of the grand opening reception, a question and answer panel will be held with a few of the Minnesota Shanghailanders that have agreed to attend. continued on page 4 Doing business with China and the Chinese people: a conversation on cultural challenges, part 3 Arts & Culture, p.8, 10 By Chang Wang and Joe Pearman, contributors Editor’s note: This is the continuation of the multipart conversation series on doing business with mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and the Han Chinese living within mainland China. It describes some of the ins and outs of interacting with Chinese individuals or firms in the contexts of cross-border communications and negotiations. Through this con- versation, the authors hope to help the business community become aware of the miscommunication that stems from the “parallel universes” the American and the Chinese inhabit, to expose the hidden rationales underscoring the official narratives of Chinese history, and to reveal cultural and linguistic misunderstandings that frequently occur during the process of finding “common ground.” Food, p. 12, 16 In last month’s “They eat puppies, don’t they?” the authors discussed how both Americans and Chinese could misjudge and misread situations based on their own innate cultural biases. This month’s conversation, Hidden Rules, will illustrate the work- ings of a “shadow code.” Watch for the continuation of the series in the next few issues where the authors will discuss guanxi, ti-yong, and additional resources to gain a greater understanding of China and the Chinese way. “Hidden Rules” them, would just encourage people to do how things work in their society.

Simpson Professor of Interpersonal Communication Kathy Krendl Dean, College of Communication REN, LI. Ph.D. June 2003. Interpersonal Communication Imagining China in the Era of Global Consumerism and Local Consciousness: Media, Mobility, and the Spring Festival. (260 pp.) Co-directors of Dissertation: Arvind Singhal and Timothy A. Simpson Using the Spring Festival (the Chinese New Year) as a springboard for fieldwork and discussion, this dissertation explores the rise of electronic media and mobility in contemporary China and their effect on modern Chinese subjectivity, especially, the collective imagination of Chinese people. Informed by cultural studies and ethnographic methods, this research project consisted of 14 in-depth interviews with residents in Chengdu, China, ethnographic participatory observation of local festival activities, and analysis of media events, artifacts, documents, and online communication. The dissertation argues that “cultural China,” an officially-endorsed concept that has transformed a national entity into a borderless cultural entity, is the most conspicuous and powerful public imagery produced and circulated during the 2001 Spring Festival. As a work of collective imagination, cultural China creates a complex and contested space in which the Chinese Party-state, the global consumer culture, and individuals and local communities seek to gain their own ground with various strategies and tactics.

  • Cup of Solid Gold) Words By: Yan Fu Music By: Bo Tong in Use: 1911-1912 China's First Official Anthem Was Used in the Last Months of the Qing Dynasty
    CHINA-NATIONALANTHEMS – 1911-1912 – INFO Die offiziellen Links von „nationalanthems“ (.htm und .mid) funktionieren leider nicht hier auf dem PDF – 18. MÄRZ 2012 Ruth Kissling de Bâle-Suisse Malerin – Anthems of China 鞏金甌 " " "Gong Jin'ou" (Cup of Solid Gold) Words by: Yan Fu Music by: Bo Tong In use: 1911-1912 China's first official anthem was used in the last months of the Qing dynasty. The anthem was by Bo Tong, a high-ranking officer of the Imperial Guard and Yan Fu, commander of the Qing Navy. Guo Cengxin, Master of Ceremonies, made some minor adjustments and arranged the music. The anthem was officially adopted on October 4, 1911, but was used for centuries beforehand in official Qing dyansty functions, going back to when Emperor Kang Xi was crowned in 1675. It's official use as China's royal anthem was shortlived, as the Wuchang Uprising, meant to end China's imperial era, started six days after the anthem was officially adopted. The Republic of China was created on January 1, 1912 and the emporer abdicated on February 12. As such, the anthem did not gain much notoriety in China. The primary purpose of the anthem was to advocate the Qing Dynasty and create a sense of well-being among the Chinese. This song was banned in Communist China, but the ban is now lifted (probably after 1978). "Gong Jin'ou" was made the anthem again in 1917 for 12 days when a former Qing general started a coup and reinstated Qing Dynasty. Since this was used as a praise to the emporer, this is also a royal anthem.

School of Economics, Peking University, No. 5 Yiheyuan Road, Haidian District, Beijing, 100871, P. R. China. Email: [email protected]. Phone (office): +86-10-62753493. The Silver Standard as a Discipline on Money Over-Issuances: The Mechanism of Paper Money in Yuan China Abstract: The Yuan was the first dynasty both in Chinese and world history to use paper money as its sole medium of circulation, and also established the earliest silver standard. This paper explores the impact of paper money in Yuan China. We find that: (1) At the beginning of its regime, due to the strict constraints of the silver standard on money issuances, the value of paper money was stable. (2) Since the middle stage of the dynasty, the central government had to finance fiscal deficits by issuing more paper money, and inflation was thus unavoidable. Our empirical results also demonstrate that fiscal pressure from multiple provincial rebellions was the most important factor driving the government to issue more paper money; however, the emperor’s largesse, which had been viewed as another source of fiscal deficits by most traditional historians, had no significant effect on the over-issuance of paper money. (3) When the monetary standard switched from silver to paper money, the impact of fiscal deficits, which were driving more paper money issuances, became much more severe.

For two thousand years, this pattern has continued. Those interested in China’s future will naturally ask: Will history repeat itself? What should be done to avoid the cycle? Of course, different people will have different answers. Given the advances in technology, it may seem that guided missiles, airplanes, and night vision would stifl e any peasant revolt today. Centuries ago, before the development of modern warfare technologies, revolting peasants and the government army were evenly matched in terms of weaponry. It was not difficult for revolting peasants to equip themselves with arms similar to their counter- parts in the national army. More charged by their determination and pas- sion to revolt, the peasants were a force that could successfully overthrow a dynasty.

  • Revenue As a Measure for Expenditure: Ming State Finance Before the Age of Silver
    REVENUE AS A MEASURE FOR EXPENDITURE: MING STATE FINANCE BEFORE THE AGE OF SILVER by NOA GRASS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Noa Grass, 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores fiscal policy during the first half of the Ming dynasty. Assuming a constant state of financial crisis caused by an ideological refusal and institutional inability to increase revenue, it identifies aspects of financial administration that contributed to the durability and resilience of the state. It first analyzes the principles of early Ming financial administration as reflected in the founding administrative text, Zhu si zhi zhang. The chapter devoted to the Ministry of Revenue focuses on the management of local resources through the timely and accurate flow of funds and information throughout the realm and along the administrative hierarchy. Based on evidence of standardized annual revenue reports, this dissertation argues that those principles were applied with relative success throughout most of the fifteenth century. Next, it identifies the practice of commutation in tax collection and official payments as the main fiscal policy that enabled the Ming to abide by its principle of keeping expenditure low while avoiding financial default. Commutation served as a partial tax remission that enabled taxpayers to convert the grain they owed to a money or commodity at a favourable rate. It also alleviated the physical and financial burden of transportation. But as the state came to depend on fixed silver payments, financial administration transformed from a system that was focused on managing local resources to one that was geared to maximizing revenue in the ii political centre.
