If You Will It, It Is No Dream
Mohammed Turki Al-Sudairi – Durham Manuscript If you will it, it is no dream: Pro-Israeli Advocacy in 21st century China Advocacy for the state of Israel, in the sense of attempting to favorably shape public and elite perceptions and discourses about the Jewish state and the nature of its conflict with the Palestinians and the surrounding Arab states - has been, and continues to be, of pivotal concern to both the Israeli government and pro-Israeli organizations operating in the US and elsewhere. What underlines this advocacy – understood here to unfold through multiple media, academic, and political spaces – is a desire to [1] reinforce political (and cultural) identification and support for Israel and its narrative, and [2] more pressingly, to contain alternative critical discourses about the state and its role in various Middle Eastern conflicts. Although the US has been the main focus of these advocacy efforts - which is a natural byproduct of its position as a global hegemonic empire, the susceptibility of its political system to special interests, and more significantly, due to the presence of a sizable and influential Jewish American community sympathetic to Israeli and Zionist interests – there are signs of a nascent and increasingly sustained Israeli/Zionist advocacy effort directed at China (amongst other theaters) that, while conditioned by a unique Chinese cultural and political topography, seeks to influence prevailing attitudes and perceptions amongst Chinese scholars and political elite in ways conducive to the preservation and maximization of Israeli interests over the long-term. This paper is interested in examining this advocacy within the Chinese context, and argues that there are two distinguishable forms of advocacy.

The most exciting news of this past year has to do with a number of developments in our new MA program in Islamic Faculty Book Studies. The program has been in existence for two years, and we are about to graduate our Notices first cohort. We have also added a certificate option to the program for students who want to NEH grant for expand their knowledge of Islam but do not want to complete the full MA program. The Summer Institute on certificate program is ideal for professionals in the D.C. area who deal with the Muslim “American Muslims” world. But most important, we received a gift of $440,000 from a group of donors to support Farewell to Allison various aspects of the program. Finally, I would like to note, as I have in previous newsletters, Taylor-Adams that our program is unique in teaching about both Sunni and Shi’ite Islam. Most programs in Xu Xin lecture on the U.S. are focused only on Sunni Islam. Given that the rift between these two major “Chinese Perceptions branches of Islam is having an enormous impact in the international sphere nowadays, we of Jews” hope that our program will produce a new generation of scholars able to analyze and perhaps MA program find ways of reconciling the two communities.

Reflections on Israel Studies in China Paper Series
2021 - HARVARD-YENCHING FROM ENEMY STUDIES TO AREA STUDIES: INSTITUTE WORKING REFLECTIONS ON ISRAEL STUDIES IN CHINA PAPER SERIES Song Lihong | Nanjing University From Enemy Studies to Area Studies: Reflections on Israel Studies in China* Song Lihong (Nanjing University) Abstract: Having emerged from the context of enemy studies in the 1960s and 1970s, Israel studies in China is developing rapidly within the framework of area studies owing to the impetus of the Belt and Road Initiative, which was launched in 2013. This essay addresses the beginnings of Israel studies in China, some Chinese perceptions of Israel that have exerted significant impacts on Israel studies in China, and the challenges for future growth that Israel studies scholars in China are facing. Keywords: Israel studies, China, enemy studies, area studies Although Israel studies hardly existed in China before its diplomatic relations with the State of Israel were normalized in 1992, the field is now well-established among Chinese universities. China’s academic environment is very different from that of the US or Europe: our Israel studies positions are not privately funded but state-sponsored; the standing faculty and the students are non-Jewish, hence without particular emotional ties to Israel; antisemitism in its classical manifestations and the BDS movement are irrelevant in Chinese academic circles. Consequently, no doubts have been raised about the legitimacy of Israel studies as an academic field of study. From 2014 through 2019, roughly 32 scholarly monographs and edited volumes, 31 Chinese translations of scholarly books, and 172 journal articles on Israel studies were published in China, on a range of topics that are almost all-encompassing: from diplomatic relations to military affairs, from political parties to the education system, from agriculture in Yishuv to the start-up economy in Tel Aviv, from migrant laborers to the national heritage conservation, from Etgar Keret to Sinology in Israel, from the diamond industry to banking regulations.

Among the Jewish Descendants of Kaifeng
Among the Jewish Descendants of Kaifeng By Irwin M. Berg Judaism: A Quarterly Journal of Jewish Life and Thought Winter, 2000 KAIFENG IS ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE AND DIRECTION from Beijing that Knoxville, Tennessee, is from the District of Columbia. And there are other similarities between Kaifeng and Knoxville. Kaifeng has about five percent of greater Beijing's population and once enjoyed grander days. During the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 C.E.), Kaifeng was the capital of China with well over one million people – more than twice its current population.1 Today Kaifeng sits on a flat, intensely-farmed area near the Yellow River and has little or no industry. Its young people are being attracted to the nearby city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, and beyond to Shanghai and Beijing. No one knows for sure when Jews first came to Kaifeng or their origin. We know that they arrived sometime before 1163 C.E. because in that year they were given permission to build a synagogue.2 Professor Xu Xin of Nanjing University, who interviewed many Jewish descendants in Kaifeng, says that the descendants trace their origin to Mesopotamia and the year 1090 C.E. when they were dislodged from their homes by ravaging Crusaders.3 Scholars, however, believe that the community was started by Jewish traders and merchants from Persia and India who began to travel overland to China along the Silk Road as well as by sea even prior to the Northern Song Dynasty.4 1 Jiang Qingxiang and Xiao Guoliang, "Glimpses of the Urban Economy of Bianjing [Kaifeng], Capital of the Northern Song Dynasty," in Jews in Old China: Studies by Chinese Scholars, edited by Sidney Shapiro (New York: Hippocrene Books, 1984).

Chinese Jews and China-Israel Relation

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This is a passage excerpted from its author’s memoir written recently. The author recounts the role he played in the establishment of official diplomatic relation between the People’s Republic of China and Israel 20 years ago. The memoir cites the historical records that show a considerable Jewish community who migrated from Mumbai, India 1000 years ago and settled down in Kaifeng, the Capital of Song Dynasty (960-1127). The ensuing emperors, personally concerned about these Diasporas, allowed them to stay in the Capital, conferred Chinese surnames upon them, and made official positions in government obtainable by them. Synagogues had stood in Kaifeng for as long as 700 years until they were finally destroyed by a big flood in 1854. Since then they had never been restored. The Jewish community gradually dispersed nationwide and fully intermixed with other ethnicities via intermarriage. Now millions of Chinese people may have distant lineage from Kaifeng Jews. China is one of a few countries that have always been treating Diasporas graciously as compatriots for a millennium.

Introduction Fighting for a Constitutional China: Public Enlightenment and Legal Professionalism
00-2290-9 fm_Yu 10/25/12 1:48 PM Page xvii Introduction Fighting for a Constitutional China: Public Enlightenment and Legal Professionalism cheng li We are here not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers. —Emmeline Pankhurst , leader of the British suffragette movement The right rulings make a country great because the event is seen by all. —Stephen Breyer , Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court One evening in the fall of 2011, almost five months before the dramatic downfall of heavyweight political leader Bo Xilai, I sat in an auditorium at the Law School of Peking University listening to a panel discussion on China’s judicial reforms. 1 The Beida Law Society, a student organization on campus, sponsored this public forum featuring He Weifang and Xu Xin, two distin - guished law professors in Beijing. 2 The auditorium was crowded with several hundred people (mainly students and young faculty members but also some Chinese journalists). As I listened to this engaging and enlightening discus - sion, it occurred to me that I was witnessing a profound political movement unfolding for constitutionalism in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). I would like to thank Eve Cary, John Langdon, Jordan Lee, and Andrew Marble for their very helpful comments on an early version of this introductory chapter. xvii 00-2290-9 fm_Yu 10/25/12 1:48 PM Page xviii xviii introduction What struck me— and shocked me as a foreign visitor— was not only that the entire discussion was explicitly critical of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its resistance to any meaningful judicial reform but also that the atmosphere was calm, reasonable, and marked by a sense of humor and sophistication in the expression of ideas.

The Myth of “Shanghai Ark” and the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum Author: Yu Wang Source: University of Toronto Journal of Jewish Thought, Volume 6 (2017), Pp
university of toronto journal of jewish thought Title: The Myth of “Shanghai Ark” and the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum Author: Yu Wang Source: University of Toronto Journal of Jewish Thought, Volume 6 (2017), pp. 107–130 Published by: Coach House Press Toronto, Canada ISSN: 2369-3517 VOL. 6 2017 | Wang 107 The Myth of “Shanghai Ark” and the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum Yu Wang The myth known in Chinese official culture as “Shanghai Ark” concerns the 20,000 Eu- ropean Jewish refugees who found shelter in Shanghai during World War II. While other countries closed their doors to Jews persecuted in Europe, so the myth goes, Shang- hai was the only place that generously accepted the Jewish refugees. Not only did the diplomat in Vienna, He Fengshan, risk his life to issue the Jewish refugees thousands of visas, but Jews were warmly welcomed by Chinese civilians, with whom they formed an alliance against the German and Japanese Fascists. Taking the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum as an anchoring point, my arti- cle traces the museum’s formation and change in the past decades within Chinese and international contexts, looks into different forces that contribute to the formation of the myth, and examines the receptions of the myth both on the side of the Jewish and the Chinese civilians. This article aims to better understand the ongoing mystification of Holocaust rescue history at the global level, as well as the interaction between individual agency and a national discourse. 108 Myth of “Shanghai Ark” | TJJT Johannes Eisele/AFP/Getty, Shanghai Jewish Museum. 2015.
