The Political Logics of China's Global Infrastructure: Redefining Development in the Global South
In this interview, we speak with Austin Strange about his recent publication on the political logics and global implications of China’s infrastructure projects. Mr. Strange explores the historical foundations and evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as China’s role as a key global actor in development cooperation.
He discusses the challenges and opportunities of China’s infrastructure projects, including their appeal to countries in the Global South, political and economic risks, and their impact on public attitudes toward China. The conversation also covers the role of emerging actors, the future of green and digital infrastructure projects, and the broader influence of these initiatives on other development stakeholders worldwide.

PhD Candidate from Göttingen’s Department of East Asian Studies Presents at Conference in Hong Kong
|
|
|
On December 5th, Andreas Günter Weis, a PhD candidate at the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen, participated in the international conference on Global Yijing Studies in Hong Kong. On December 5th, he presented his lecture titled “The Three Women behind Wilhelm’s I Ging.”
|
In his talk, Weis shed light on the significant contributions of three women who supported Richard Wilhelm (1873–1930) in translating the Yijing into German. He explored how Salome Wilhelm, Anna Marie Luise Stoll, and Bertha Sierstorpff, each in their own unique way, contributed to the creation of this groundbreaking work and facilitated Wilhelm’s transition from a Protestant missionary to a renowned professor and cultural mediator between China and Europe.
