An understanding of Sino- British interactions in this period continues to evolve, particularly - at the economic level. The British attempt to penetrate the Chinese goods and services market was based on the "unequal treaties" and a network of treaty ports. Shanghai, the leading treaty port, has re- ceived the most analysis, yet its position within the whole Chinese region was fairly peripheral. Another way to consider this question is to look at the foreign community in Chongqing, a minor treaty port opened late, through the records they themselves left. The story that these records show is one in which the foreign cornmunity never close to dominating the situation economically, much less political- ly or culturally. The port's "development" along the lines of twenti- v eth-century Westernization waç hamstrung by its geographical iso- lation and the difficult shipping links to the downriver ports before the belated introduction of steamships. Nearly every commercial opening achieved by British merchants was sooner or later reclaimed by their resourceful Chinese cornpetitors. The power of China's in- digenous trade systern outweighed the weaknesses of its central government. Chongqing, though not similar to the leading treaty ports, is more representative of China as a whole in the marginal position of its foreign presence. v i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the supervision of Dr. Bernard Luk and the rest of my cornmittee. I also want to thank Dr. Bettina Bradbury, whose persistence kept the project going; the London Goodenough Trust, which enabled me to do research in London; John Swire & Sons archivist Charlotte Haviland, who not only granted me access to that company's records, but provided some useful extra sources; and J.H. Matthews, for his continuing suggestions and valuable lay- man's perspective.

Naval Canteens Foreign Union Church International Hospital Introduction The problern of evaluating Britain's long-term commercial legacy in China is even more complex than similar questions regarding ter- ritories where the British Empire had a more direct presence. In India, for example, the British not only dominated trade but for the greater part of two centuries also ruled and administered the region in a top-down manner. Ultimately direct rule would end in national- ist resistance and independence in the twentieth century. Dominions like Canada and Australia, created in Britain's image, developed local autonomy, achieving real independence gradually and indirectly. The beneficiaries of the British Empire included Britain's economic interests, exploiting a London-centred commercial structure extend- ing to al1 parts of the world. In an empire as immense as China, for- eign powers had no illusions about attempting direct rule, with its accompanying expenses and responsibilities, but hoped to use their commercial power, backed by latent military clout, to effect a simi- lady favorable trade system. Since the Ming era the Chinese state had discouraged contact be- tween its subjects and foreigners, commercial and othennrise, and legal contacts were kept under strict regulation. "The rulers of the Ming Dynasty were profoundly anti-commercial in outlook and they attempted to restrict this rich and variegated trade by forcing it within the frarnework of the tributary system."' This reflected their concern to ensure that overall control of externaf trade remained Sn the hands of Beijing, not the foreign or Chinese traders. In the nime- teenth century this put Beijing on a collision course with the move- ment toward greater, freer international trade found in the most highly developed Western economies. By the 1860's, after waging two wars with China largely over trade concessions, the West had achieved a major yet incomplete victory: the Qing regime and the Chinese merchant class still exerted some clout in defining the terms of the foreign ascendancy. This reflected the fact that --.- 1 . Uoyd E.

The new systern of Sino-foreign rela- tions was based on a far-reaching web of treaty ports, which in the century of their existence actually managed to combine Sino-foreign coexistence with a great degree of continued separation.

    Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2014 © 2013 William M. Coleman, IV All rights reserved Abstract Making the State on the Sino-Tibetan Frontier: Chinese Expansion and Local Power in Batang, 1842-1939 William M. Coleman, IV This dissertation analyzes the process of state building by Qing imperial representatives and Republican state officials in Batang, a predominantly ethnic Tibetan region located in southwestern Sichuan Province. Utilizing Chinese provincial and national level archival materials and Tibetan language works, as well as French and American missionary records and publications, it explores how Chinese state expansion evolved in response to local power and has three primary arguments. First, by the mid-nineteenth century, Batang had developed an identifiable structure of local governance in which native chieftains, monastic leaders, and imperial officials shared power and successfully fostered peace in the region for over a century. Second, the arrival of French missionaries in Batang precipitated a gradual expansion of imperial authority in the region, culminating in radical Qing military intervention that permanently altered local understandings of power. While short-lived, centrally-mandated reforms initiated soon thereafter further integrated Batang into the Qing Empire, thereby

  • New Fall 2013
    FALL 2013 NEWSLETTER A message from San Duanmu, CCS Interim Director, 2012-13 Dear CCS Community, ast year, two major changes took place at the College and the International Institute, which have affected CCS in various ways. First, initiated by the Provost’s Office, Dennison is being transformed, from a heavily used but unattractive teaching building to an exemplar, modern, and multicultural learning center, to which all units of II are scheduled to move, including CCS. LThe final plan is still in the works. For example, we do not know how much space or what kind of space CCS will have. On the other hand, there are exciting new opportunities. For example, the combination of offices, classrooms, research events, and social space in the same building will be a great improvement from the current situation. In addition, space for visitors and study/meeting areas will likely promote interac- tions among faculty, students, and visitors. The other major change is prompted by budget cuts at various levels, in particular the continued decrease in Title IV funds from the Department of Education, which many II centers reply on. In response, the College decided to implement a new staff structure for II that is sustainable even without Title IV funds. In the new structure, each center is left with one full-time staff person (in the case of CCS, it is Ena Schlorff), and everyone else is moved to ‘shared services’. Under special circumstances, a center may request to hire additional staff, with the center’s own money. During the transition, CCS had to make some adjustments.

  • Role of Min Bao in Creating Public Opinion for the Revolution of 1911
    2018 3rd International Social Sciences and Education Conference (ISSEC 2018) Role of Min Bao in Creating Public Opinion for the Revolution of 1911 Zhang Yongxia School of Arts and Law, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, 430070 Keywords: Min Bao; The Revolution of 1911; creation of public opinion Abstract: As an official organ of Tongmenghui, Min Bao played an important role in creating public opinion for the revolution of 1911. This paper expounds the historical background at that time and how Min Bao created public opinion, and then clarifies why this magazine has had such a wide influence. Through introducing revolution situations and social ideological trends in foreign countries and infusing revolutionary thoughts into the readers, Min Bao inspired revolutionaries to fight for the revolutionary ambitions with the spirit of sacrifice and striving, thus helping them to shape their life value outlooks, form their revolutionary convictions and develop their revolutionary behavior patterns. 1. Introduction The Revolution of 1911 was a milestone in China's history. In reviewing the course of the Revolution of 1911, Sun Yat-sen spoke highly of the role of bourgeois revolutionary newspapers and magazines in promoting the revolutionary cause [1]. The bourgeois revolutionist Feng Ziyou once said, "The foundation of Republic of China should be attributed to the military actions and the propaganda by the Chinese Revolutionary Party, between which the propaganda was more powerful and widely-influenced." Among various bourgeois revolutionary newspapers and magazines, Min Bao played a great role in promoting the dissemination of bourgeois democratic revolutionary thoughts, eliminating the reformers' pernicious influence, of the reformists, facilitating the formation of the revolutionary spirit, and improving the revolutionary situation.

  • Natural Gas in China's Power Sector
    December 2020 Natural gas in China’s power sector: Challenges and the road ahead China’s pledge to peak its emissions before 2030 suggests that decarbonization of its coal-dominant power sector will be key to fulfilling this goal. Natural gas emits around 50 per cent less greenhouse gases than coal when used in electricity generation.1 With the rapid deployment of variable renewables, gas-fired power plants could also enhance the flexibility of the power system and boost renewables integration. However, the development of natural gas in China’s power sector has been slow, with installed gas-fired capacity standing at 97 GW by October 2020 out of 2,100 GW total installed generating capacity, according to the latest data by the China Electricity Council.2 This falls short of the target of 110 GW by 2020, set out in the 13th Five Year plan (2016–2020). Gas-fired generation only accounted for 3.2 per cent of China’s total power production in 2019, significantly below coal’s share of 62 per cent. Average running hours were 2,646 last year, indicating that gas-fired power plants have been underutilized. This analysis discusses the latest developments in China’s gas-fired power generation, the main challenges, and the road ahead both in the context of the upcoming 14th Five-Year Plan and the recently announced 2060 carbon neutrality goal. Expensive imported gas, costly turbine technology, and the lack of fully competitive electricity markets have been the main obstacles limiting the role of natural gas in China’s power sector.

  • "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows As Cultural Representation of Local Identities
    From "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows as Cultural Representation of Local Identities Nurul Laili Nadhifah, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia The Asian Conference on Media, Communication & Film 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Running Man, as one of Korean successful variety shows, never fails to advertise parts of Korean culture like food, K-Pop, cultural values, traditional games, history, even historical sites. With quite a huge amount of fans not only from South Korea but also from other countries as well, Running Man also occasionally encourages interactions between the hosts and their fans in some games, indirectly introducing Korean culture to all over the world, resulting in the increase of consumption on Korean culture’s products. This reality show concept is, then, adapted into Indonesian variety show called Mission X. Quite different from Running Man, Mission X has its own ways in introducing Indonesia and its culture. This study aims to analyze the way Running Man and Mission X represent themselves as the platforms of advertising their local identities by applying Fiske’s vertical intertextuality and cultural identity theories. Drawing on data collected from the shows as the main texts and SNS as secondary texts, while data of fans’ reactions are gathered by doing random interview online. This research, through comparative studies, intents to explain the similarities and differences of cultural representations shown on those shows. The findings show different aspects of local culture displayed by those variety shows caused different methods of representing them. While Running Man introducing different aspects and values of culture like food or history through games and certain themes, Mission X tends to introduce cultural aspects more through display of setting.
