  • The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border
    The Mountain Is High, and the Emperor Is Far Away: States and Smuggling Networks at the Sino-Vietnamese Border Qingfei Yin The intense and volatile relations between China and Vietnam in the dyadic world of the Cold War have drawn scholarly attention to the strategic concerns of Beijing and Hanoi. In this article I move the level of analysis down to the border space where the peoples of the two countries meet on a daily basis. I examine the tug-of-war between the states and smuggling networks on the Sino-Vietnamese border during the second half of the twentieth century and its implications for the present-day bilateral relationship. I highlight that the existence of the historically nonstate space was a security concern for modernizing states in Asia during and after the Cold War, which is an understudied aspect of China’s relations with Vietnam and with its Asian neighbors more broadly. The border issue between China and its Asian neighbors concerned not only territorial disputes and demarcation but also the establishment of state authority in marginal societies. Keywords: smuggler, antismuggling, border, Sino-Vietnamese relations, tax. Historically, the Chinese empire and, to a lesser extent, the Dai Nam empire that followed the Chinese bureaucratic model had heavyweight states with scholar-officials chosen by examination in the Confucian classics (Woodside 1971). However, as the proverb goes, the mountain is high, and the emperor is far away. Vast distances and weak connections existed between the central government and ordinary people. Central authorities thus had little influence over local affairs, including their own street-level bureaucracies.

Married to a Chinese man, the 34­year­old had worked at the Guangxi University of Foreign Language for nine years teach­ ing Thai. “Curiosity about the history and culture of China has grown on me,” Jariya said. When she began teaching Thai at the university, Jariya said she knew almost no Chinese lan­ guage. She started to pick up some Chinese from her students. When teaching them Thai words or phrases, Jariya asked her stu­ dents to tell her the correspond­ ing Chinese for them so that she could learn.

  • Ming China and Its Border with Annam Leo K
    Edited by Diana Lary The Chinese State at the Borders UBCPress.Vancouver.Toronto 5 Ming China and Its Border with Annam Leo K. Shin Some time during the Chenghua reign (1465-87) of the Ming dynasty, a young man named Wu Rui was on his way from Hainan Island to the Chi- nese mainland when his boat was blown terribly off course. Found adrift near the shore of Annam (present-day northern Vietnam),1 Wu Rui and his twelve companions were promptly captured by the coastal patrol and brought to the Annamese capital at Thang Long (now Hanoi). For their alleged transgression, Wu’s fellow travellers were sentenced to set up agrar- ian colonies, while Wu Rui himself was ordered to be castrated. How Wu survived his years in the Annamese palace we can only guess, but his service was evidently deemed valuable. After the death of the king of Annam in 1497, Wu Rui was even offered a chance to serve as a military superintend- ent in the northern region. But just as he was finally in a position of power, Wu learned from one of his soldiers a way back to China. Determined to return home, Wu Rui trekked for nine days, often through mountainous terrain, and arrived in the native domain (tu si) of Long Zhou in the south- ern province of Guangxi. But Wu’s ordeals would not end just yet. While Wu Rui was eager to make contact with Ming officials, Wei Chen, the native chief who had offered Wu shelter, was scheming to trade him back to Annam.

Due to its particularity as a war between two neighboring socialist countries in Cold War Asia, the Border War has been a sensitive topic in Vietnam. While political sensitivity regarding the national past derives largely from the Party-State, the history and memory of the war has permeated Vietnamese society. The war’s legacy can be seen in anti-China sentiments that, in the globalized neoliberal order, appear to be reviving alongside post-Cold War nationalism. The Border War against China represented an important nationalist turn for Vietnam. At the same time, the traumatic breakdown of the socialist fraternity cultivated anxiety over domestic and international relations.

    Creating a Border between China and Vietnam By: James A. Anderson Anderson, James A. “Creating a Border between China and Vietnam” in Susan Walcott and Corey White (eds.) Corridor of Interconnections: Eurasia from the South China to the Caspian Sea. New York: Routledge Press, 2013. This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge in Corridor of Interconnections: Eurasia from the South China to the Caspian Sea on 01 November 2013, available online: http://www.routledge.com/9780415857710 ***© 2014 Taylor & Francis. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Routledge/Taylor & Francis. This version of the document is not the version of record. *** Abstract: Borders and their older cousins, frontiers, receive a great deal of attention in East Asian studies these days, but such political divisions can mask the “true” relations between communities on either side of the partition. The editors of this volume have stressed that a border is less a fixed line drawn in the sand, and more “a zone of interconnectivity” (Walcott and Johnson, Introduction). I agree with this contention, and argue that any study of the Sino-Vietnamese border must also take into consideration the web of both localized and region-wide political, cultural, and economic relationships that permeate the boundary between these two polities. A corollary to the argument is that the border appears solid only from the distant Chinese and Vietnamese centers of power, where the textual records of border history were maintained. For the chroniclers of the dynastic histories for both courts, the physical divide between China and Vietnam could even be imbued with epidemiological qualities.

  • Regional Workshop On: Increasing Market Access and Facilitating Trade in GMS Agrifood Products Pingxiang, Guangxi, People's Re
    Regional Workshop on: Increasing Market Access and Facilitating Trade in GMS Agrifood Products Pingxiang, Guangxi, People’s Republic of China 26-27 March 2018 Introduction The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is comprised of Cambodia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC, specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Trade in agrifood products in the GMS has increased considerably in recent decades with greater regional connectivity and reductions in tariffs. However, non-tariff and technical barriers continue to hamper trade between GMS countries. Greater coordination and harmonization among the GMS countries can lead to greater market access and facilitate trade in a sustainable and inclusive manner in line with the terms of the World Trade Organization’s Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement. Increasing market access and facilitating trade in agrifood products between the GMS countries can support the subregion’s continued economic development in a sustainable and inclusive manner. However, this requires a more nuanced understanding of each country’s system, current and anticipated requirements, and potential risks associated with trade. Thus, the first step is to better understand individual country situation and systems and identify ways forward. The GMS countries can benefit from working collectively to identify key gaps and bottlenecks that hamper trade and to streamline systems in
