DEAN’S LETTER “The Meaning of Knowing” As a professor who teaches philosophy and literature, I sometimes contemplate the meaning of knowing. When I say “I Know”, what does it really mean? What do I know about the things that I think I know? This may sound quite silly, however, it is no simple matter. Chuang Tzu, the ancient Chinese classic, discloses the fallacy of sensory conviction that we associate with certainty. What we believe to be the most real and obvious is little more than subjective bias. Let’s read the following example from “Discussion on Making All Things Equal”. Men claim that Mao-ch’iang and Lady Li were beautiful, but if fish saw them they would dive to the bottom of the stream......If so, which knows how to fix the standard of beauty for the world? (Translated by Burton Watson) According to the logic proposed in this argument, our concept of beauty is not based on the object of our aesthetic appreciation but it exists in our subjective cognitive faculty. In other words, the beauty of an object has in fact nothing to do with the form or appearance of the object, and therefore we can never secure precise clue to objectively characterizing our judgment of beauty. In this sense, the basis of our sensory conviction which we assume is the most real and empirical becomes dismantled. Considering the underlying implication of the above quote, it seems that Chuang Tzu might have suggested the limitation of our knowledge. Put simply, we do not know the extent of what we know. -

Born Glocal: Youth Identity and Suburban Spaces in the U.S
Amerasia Journal 36:3 (2010): 29-51 Born Glocal: Youth Identity and Suburban Spaces in the U.S. and Taiwan Shenglin Elijah Chang and Willow Lung Amam Introduction The youngest generation of diaspora societies wrestle constant- ly to find an enabling interlocking of the different cultures in which they find themselves: it is a struggle indeed to build an- other, different hybrid culture. —Doreen Massey1 Inside a San Francisco Bay area mall, four pan-Asian teens head spin and body pop to modern Taiwanese and American hip hop beats. In these hallways of what western observers have termed the “Asian mall,” these youth have found a place to express the complex cultural milieu that they inhabit as both Asians and Americans.2 As they contest and simultaneously redefine the cultural norms of this space, they work to build a hybrid culture from the materials they encounter as diasporic youth. This pa- per explores this struggle among transnational Taiwanese youth who spend their lives straddling cultural and national borders, as part of what Shenglin Chang has termed “transpacific com- muter families.”3 In both Taiwan and the U.S., the suburbs are increasingly the spaces where the majority of these transpacific youth grow up. DR. SHENGLIN ELIJAH CHANG is Associate Professor in the Graduate In- stitute of Building and Planning at National Taiwan University. Her book, The Global Silicon Valley Home: Lives and Landscapes within Taiwan- ese American Trans-Pacific Culture, was published by Stanford University Press in 2006. WILLOW LUNG AMAM is a Ph.D. Candidate in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. -

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Understanding Blackness in South Korea: Experiences of one Black Teacher and One Black Student By Hyein Amber Kim University of Washington Abstract - This study examines the experiences of one Black individual (Wilkine Brutus) who worked as a teacher and one Black individual (Sam Okyere) who was a university student in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of Blackness in South Korea and how it is constructed, how anti-Black sentiments affect Black individuals, and how Black individuals - given the opportunity in South Korea in diverse fields - may shape and transform the construct of Blackness in the country. This study raises a number of issues in the Korean context where Black individuals are being discriminated against because of their race and skin color, and are denied opportunities, especially in the field of education.

1 China's 13Th Five-Year Plan: Implications for the Automobile
China’s 13th Five-Year Plan: Implications for the Automobile Industry Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission1 Hearing on China’s 13th Five Year Plan April 27th, 2016 Dr. Crystal Chang Lecturer, Departments of Political Science and International & Area Studies University of California, Berkeley It would be a mistake to read the 13th Five Year Plan (FYP) as if one were reading oracle bones for clarity on China’s economic future. Rather, it should be understood as the Chinese government’s long-winded wish list of what they would like to see happen in the economy. The 13th FYP suggests that the Chinese government would like to see innovative Chinese-brands dominate the market for new energy vehicles (NEVs).2 While there are new and interesting developments that should be monitored closely, the government’s ability to realize their objectives are limited. Most NEVs on Chinese roads today are low-cost, low-tech models that were purchased by local governments looking to please Beijing and support local firms. The broader auto market in China is and likely to remain driven by sales of gasoline-powered vehicles, the majority of which are sold under the brands of foreign automakers. The 13th FYP will probably not have a direct effect on American automakers, which are doing very well in China. In 2015, General Motors (GM) in conjunction with its local partners sold a record 3.6 million vehicles in China (36% of its global volume), making it the market leader. Meanwhile, Ford Motors and its partners sold more than one million units for the first time.
