“Absorbing...an invaluable political (and personal) primer for anyone dealing with today’s China.” —Publishers Weekly Review THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK No other narrative from within the corridors of power has offered as frank and intimate an account of the making of the modern Chinese nation as Ji Chaozhu’s The Man on Mao’s Right. Having served Chairman Mao Zedong and the Communist leadership for two decades, and having become a key figure in China’s foreign policy, Ji now provides an honest, detailed account of the personalities and events that shaped today’s People’s Republic. Ji is an eyewitness to modern Chinese history, including the Great Leap Forward, the Nixon summit, and numerous momentous events in Tiananmen Square. This highly accessible insider’s chronicle of a struggling people within a developing powerhouse nation is also Ji Chaozhu’s dramatic personal story, certain to fascinate and enlighten Western audiences. A riveting biography and unique historical record, The Man on Mao’s Right recounts the heartfelt struggle of a man who loved two powerful nations that were at odds with each other. Ji Chaozhu played an important role in paving the way for what is destined to be known as the Chinese Century. Ji Chaozhu has held posts in China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was appointed minister counselor of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States of America in 1982, and has served as China’s ambassador to Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu, and the Court of St. James’s. He currently resides in China with his wife. Norman Dietz was named one of AudioFile magazine’s fifty Best Voices of the Century, and several of his recordings have been AudioFile Earphones Award winners. He has recorded over 100 audiobooks, including the New York Times bestseller Human Smoke by Nicholson Baker and Touch and Go by Studs Terkel.

The Darkest Red Corner Matthew James Brazil
The Darkest Red Corner Chinese Communist Intelligence and Its Place in the Party, 1926-1945 Matthew James Brazil A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Business School University of Sydney 17 December 2012 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.

Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China
Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/studio/multimedia/20120208/in... Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China Public Affairs Ezra F. Vogel, Joanne J. Myers Transcript Introduction Remarks Questions and Answers Introduction JOANNE MYERS: Good afternoon. I'm Joanne Myers, director of Public Affairs Programs, and on behalf of the Carnegie Council I'd like to welcome our members and guests and to thank you for joining us. It is indeed a pleasure to have as our speaker, Ezra Vogel. Professor Vogel, as perhaps many of you know, is one of our country's foremost Asian scholars. Today he will be discussing his widely acclaimed biography entitled Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China. Now, you may be wondering Why Deng, why now? As Professor Vogel writes, Deng is "the one Chinese leader who has most influenced China's modern trajectory." In addition, he convincingly argues that if we study his rise to power we will have a better understanding of what it is that is taking place in China now. One of the world's greatest stories is the rise of China. Today hundreds of millions of Chinese are living far more comfortable lives than ever before, enjoying relative stability, and benefiting from spectacular economic growth. But how China embraced globalization, confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dismantled the cult of Maoism, lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, and opened trade relations with the West is a remarkable story that unfolds around a single individual: Deng Xiaoping. Few would dispute the positive steps Deng took in placing China on the world stage.

Mao Was My Neighbor Finalx
Mao was My Neighbour: Yao Zhongda and the “Opening” of Chinese Adult Education Roger Boshier University of British Columbia Abstract After Deng Xiaoping’s 1978 reform and opening, foreigners had a chance to see adult education in China. As a result, many met Yao Zhongda, Chief of the Bureau of Workers’ and Peasants Education. From 1921 onwards, adult education has been a vital corollary of Communist revolution. Although Yao’s biography was extremely relevant to what foreigners saw, few knew much about their host. Yao made enthusiastic responses to Roby Kidd’s efforts to “open” China to the Toronto-based International Council of Adult Education. By 2013, he was 88 years old. The primary purpose of this paper was to capture his biography and reflect on what it means for 21st century China. A secondary purpose was to alert Beijing scholars to the importance of this key actor in the colourful drama of globalization and adult education in China. Key words: Chinese communism; revolutionary adult education; People’s Liberation Army; biography; family; International Council for Adult Education Roger Boshier, Ph.D. is Professor of Adult Education at the University of British Columbia. He has been active in China since the 1980s. His current research interests are: helping authorities build learning villages, districts and cities, university reform, Shanghai "innovation zones" and the plight of rural-urban migrants. Email: [email protected] Brock Education Volume 22, No. 2, Spring 2013 , pp. 11-27 11 R. Boshier Mao Was My Neighbour Not a Prophet in His Own Land By 2013, Yao Zhongda was 88 years old, and still an outstanding figure in 20 th century Chinese adult education.

The Council does this by convening meetings; conducting a wide-ranging Studies program; publish- ing Foreign Affairs, the preeminent journal covering international affairs and U.S. foreign policy; maintaining a diverse membership; sponsoring Independent Task Forces; and providing up- to-date information about the world and U.S. foreign policy on the Council’s website, CFR.org. THE COUNCIL TAKES NO INSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON POLICY ISSUES AND HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH THE U.S.GOVERNMENT. ALLSTATEMENTS OF FACT AND EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION CONTAINED IN ITS PUBLICA- TIONS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS. The Council will sponsor an Independent Task Force when (1) an issue of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy arises, and (2) it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may, nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations.
