This has included the creation of a new senior-level CCP “leading small group” focused on the epidemic (China Brief, February 5), and a messaging campaign to assert that CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping has been personally “commanding China’s fight” against the outbreak (Xinhua, February 2).

  • Representations of History in the Poetry of Zheng Jing Writing About Identity in the Southern Ming
    Ming Qing Yanjiu 21 (2017) 58–92 brill.com/mqyj Representations of History in the Poetry of Zheng Jing Writing about Identity in the Southern Ming Olivia Milburn Seoul National University [email protected] Abstract Zheng Jing 鄭經 (1642–1681), the first classically trained Chinese-language poet to write about Taiwan’s landscape, also addressed a number of other themes. This paper will consider his small group of historical poems dealing with the achievements of the founders of earlier imperial dynasties; his poems about contemporary events, in particular the ongoing conflict between the Qing government and the remnants of the Southern Ming dynasty (which he supported) on Taiwan; his poems about his experi- ences as a military commander; and his poems criticizing the Manchu imperial house for their alien customs and culture. These works aren’t read here as straightforwardly autobiographical; instead we’ll interpret them as works of literature, ones carefully constructed to send specific political messages to a contemporary readership. Keywords Zheng Jing – Southern Ming – Ming-Qing transition – poetry – identity – history Introduction In the second half of the seventeenth century, Zheng Jing 鄭經 (1642–1681) became the first classically trained Chinese language poet to write about the landscape of the island of Taiwan. His writings record scenes from the Jinmen and Penghu islands and from Taiwan itself, and he provides the earliest po- etic accounts of the customs and culture of Taiwan’s inhabitants. For this he is justifiably famous within the history of Taiwanese literature.

  • The Leadership of China's Four Major Cities
    Li, China Leadership Monitor, No. 21 The Leadership of China’s Four Major Cities: A Study of Municipal Party Standing Committees Cheng Li The leadership of China’s four provincial-level cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing, is arguably the most important sub-national decision-making body in the country. The top leadership positions in these four major cities are high-powered steppingstones for further promotions. For this reason—and also for these cities’ pacesetting role in China’s economic and sociopolitical development—factional politics has been particularly dynamic. Recently, senior leaders of all these cities went through a major reshuffling. This study focuses on the newly reappointed municipal Party standing committees, including their organizational compositions, members’ generational attributes, and the factional distribution of power. This analysis can serve as a preview of the leadership changes in the upcoming 17th Party Congress. In an increasingly urbanized world, major cities have often served as the pacesetters for economic and sociopolitical development.1 China is certainly not an exception. Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing, the four provincial-level municipalities directly under the central government (zhixiashi), have all served as vanguards and engines of China’s economic growth. In recent years, these four super-large cities have all witnessed dynamic transformations, and their changes not only have a strong impact on the politics and economy of the country, but also have profound implications beyond China’s borders. Beijing, China’s capital, is in the midst of preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games—the country’s “coming-out party” on the international stage. Shanghai, with its distinct cosmopolitan legacy, has reemerged in the span of about 15 years as one of the world’s most forward-looking cities.
