The PLA and the 16Th Party Congress Jiang Controls the Gun? James Mulvenon
Hoover-CLM-5.qxd 6/5/2003 12:36 PM Page 20 The PLA and the 16th Party Congress Jiang Controls the Gun? James Mulvenon For Western observers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the 16th Party Congress presented a curious mixture of the past, the present, and the future. Jiang Zemin’s long-rumored and ultimately successful bid to retain the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission (CMC) brought back memories of party-army relations in the late 1980s before Tiananmen. At the same time, the new crop of PLA leaders elevated to the CMC represents the present and future PLA, possessing high levels of experience, training, and education, and thus professionalism. This article explores the implications of Jiang’s gambit, analyzes the retirements of senior PLA leaders and the biographies of their replacements, and offers some pre- dictions about the choice of defense minister and the future course of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-PLA relations. JIANG STICKS AROUND If imitation is the highest form of flattery, then Jiang Zemin has given Deng Xiaoping’s boots a real tongue-shine. Recall that at the 13th Party Congress in 1987, confident of his preeminence in the system, Deng retired from all formal positions save one, the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission. His logic at the time was clear.The PLA was still subordinate to party control, but the fresh memory of the breakdown of formal lines of authority during the events in Tiananmen Square told Deng that his continued personal control of the military was crucially important to Jiang Zemin’s successful transition to the leadership core. -

Notes on Liu Xiaofeng and the “Father of the Nation”
Published in Orientaliska Studier no. 138 (2014), p. 64-72. Fredrik Fällman University of Gothenburg Enlightened or not? Notes on Liu Xiaofeng and the “Father of the Nation” In May 2013 Chinese philosopher and theologian Liu Xiaofeng (刘小枫 b. 1956) caused quite a stir among Chinese intellectuals. In a speech at the Chinese University of Political Science and Law (中国政法大学 CUPSL) 19 April 2013, Liu called Mao Zedong “Father of the Nation” (国父). Liu’s speech dealt with the issue of “Republic” (共和) and China’s transformation in the last 100 years.1 When the text was published online in May 2013 it quickly caught attention. The epithet “Father of the Nation” has been reserved for the first president of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen (孙逸仙, or Sun Zhongshan 孙中山 1866-1925), both in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and on Taiwan. Debate with repercussions Liu Xiaofeng immediately met much criticism, and argued that he had been fooled to take part in the “reading session” under the false pretext that it would be arranged by a publishing house, and that nothing would be put online. Phoenix Television published the text online as “Republic, China’s Toil of a Century” (共和,中国的百年之累) in the form of a dialogue between Liu and the host of the session, Professor Wang Renbo (王人博) of CUPSL. Liu was upset that he could not revise the draft before publication, and therefore later published a different and longer version in the magazine Open Times (开放时代), a “self proofread version” (亲校版). Liu gave it the title “How to recognize the historical meaning of hundred 1 Liu Xiaofeng, “Gonghe, Zhongguo de bai nian zhi lei” 共和,中国的百年之累 (Republic, China’s Toil of a Century), talk at Phoenix TV Reading Session 凤凰读书会, 19 April 2013, CUPSL, Beijing, at http://news.ifeng.com/exclusive/lecture/special/liuxiaofeng Published in Orientaliska Studier no. -

Word & World Volume XVII, Number 2 Spring 1997 The “Cultural Christians” Phenomenon in China: A Hong Kong Discussion PETER K. H. LEE Hong Kong Lutheran Theological Seminary Hong Kong CONTROVERSY OVER THE CULTURAL CHRISTIANS PHENOMENON IN CHINA Anarose in a series of articles in the Hong Kong weekly newspaper Christian Times during the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996. The participants included four Hong Kong theological educators, three Chinese scholars speaking on be- half of the “cultural Christians” in China, and one theological worker from Tai- wan. As a participant in that exchange I will attempt here to recapture its salient points. I. THE CONTROVERSY ERUPTS The controversy was started by Law Bing-Cheung (Lo Bingxiang in Manda- rin pin yin), chairman of the department of religion and philosophy at the Hong Kong Baptist University in a two-part article entitled “The Chinese Apollos and the 1997 Crisis of the Hong Kong Theological World.” PETER K. H. LEE, after his retirement as director of the Christian Study Centre on Chinese Religion and Culture, Hong Kong, has been professor of theology and culture at the Hong Kong Lutheran Theological Seminary. During 1996-97 he is John A. Mackay Professor of World Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary. The discussion of Chinese “cultural Christianity” has sometimes pitted the aca- demically oriented religious scholars of China against the churchly oriented theologi- ans of Hong Kong. It is time now for a dialogue between faith and culture that will enable the inculturation of Christianity on Chinese soil. Copyright © 1997 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. -
U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress
U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs October 27, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32496 U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Summary This CRS Report, updated through the 113th Congress, discusses policy issues regarding military- to-military (mil-to-mil) contacts with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and records major contacts and crises since 1993. The United States suspended military contacts with China and imposed sanctions on arms sales in response to the Tiananmen Crackdown in 1989. In 1993, President Clinton reengaged with the top PRC leadership, including China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Renewed military exchanges with the PLA have not regained the closeness reached in the 1980s, when U.S.-PRC strategic alignment against the Soviet Union included U.S. arms sales to China. Improvements and deteriorations in overall bilateral engagement have affected military contacts, which were close in 1997-1998 and 2000, but marred by the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, mistaken NATO bombing of a PRC embassy in 1999, the EP-3 aircraft collision crisis in 2001, and the PLA’s aggressive maritime and air confrontations. Issues for Congress include whether the Administration complies with legislation overseeing dealings with the PLA and pursues contacts with the PLA that advance a prioritized set of U.S. security interests, especially the operational safety of U.S. military personnel. Oversight legislation includes the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY1990-FY1991 (P.L. 101-246) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2000 (P.L. -
