SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #6 40 Years of Poverty Reduction in China: What are the Challenges?
DESCRIPTION:40 Years of Poverty Reduction in China: What are the Challenges?\n  \n  \nSpeaker\nBranko Milanovic\, Senior Scholar\, Stone Center on Socio-economic Inequality at the City University of New York\nMartin Raiser\, Country Director for China and Mongolia and Director for Korea\, World Bank \nTime: 03.02.2021\, 15.00 – 16:00 \nPlease register here. \n  \n\n\nTopic \nChina has achieved remarkable success in reducing absolute poverty over the last four decades. The size and speed of the decrease are without precedent. Nevertheless\, while real incomes were rising\, real inequality was rising too. How can China counter rising inequality? Is “common prosperity” as propagated by President Xi achievable? What (global) economic risks arise from China’s political system\, which\, it is argued\, makes the country more vulnerable to corruption and could also make it more susceptible to social unrest during recessions? In our sixth Global China Conversation\, we will look back at the drivers behind 40 successful years of poverty alleviation in China\, discuss the challenges of rising inequality\, and provide an outlook on potential global economic risks. \n  \nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nGlobal China Conversation #6 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n  \n\nLiterature\nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publications: \n\nLugo\, M.\, Niu\, C. and Yemtsov\, R.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Maruyama Masao's Research on Intellectual History as seen by Chinese scholars
DESCRIPTION:Maruyama Masao’s Research on Intellectual History as seen by Chinese scholars\nXu Jilin\nEast China Normal University\n \n  \nFeb 11\, 2022 12:00 PM Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Rome\, Stockholm\, Vienna \nFor registration\, please use this zoom link. \nLecture and discussion will be in Chinese  \n  \nAbstract\nMaruyama Masao is the most influential post-war Japanese intellectual historian. He transcends the dichotomy between Eastern and Western thought\, uncovering the “insistent bass” in the “ancient layers” of Japanese thought and examining how it has recreated the universality of modern Japanese thought. He views the study of the history of thought as an “art of representation” similar to the performance of music\, in which re-creation is achieved within the confines of a text. He relativizes universal thought in a specific historical context\, presenting the richness and diversity of thought itself. \n  \nXu Jilin is a modern Chinese intellectual historian and chair professor of history at East China Normal University in Shanghai\, as well as Executive Deputy Director of the China Institute of Modern Thought and Culture\, and Specially Appointed Zijiang Scholar. He is also a member of the Shanghai Philosophy and Social Sciences Federation and the Chinese History Society. \nHe has worked as visiting scholar or guest professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, the National University of Australia\, the National University of Singapore and Harvard University\, as well as Aichi University\, Tokyo University\, Academia Sinica\, University of British Columbia\, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, and Freie Universität Berlin. His research focuses on Chinese intellectuals and Shanghai urban culture. \nHis publications include (but are not limited to) Public Communication of Modern Chinese Intellectuals (co-author\, 2008) and How the Enlightenment was Reborn (2011)\, Rethinking China’s Rise: A Liberal Critique (2018); The Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment in Contemporary China (2011)\, and Ten Essays on Chinese Intellectuals (2003)\, which won the first Wenjin Award from the National Library in 2005. Some of his writings have been translated into English. \n  \n  \nThis lecture is part of the lecture series New Perspectives on Modernity in China.\n\n  \nOrganizers: \n\nProf. Dr. Axel Schneider\, University of Göttingen\nProf. Dr. Thomas Fröhlich\, University of Hamburg \n\n \n\nCeMEAS – Centre for Modern East Asian Studies & Department of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\n\n \nAsia-Africa- Institute\, Department for Chinese Language and Culture\, University of Hamburg \n\n\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \n  \nSponsor: \n \nAcademic Confucius Institute\, University of Göttingen \n. \n.\nImage: sung ming whang: Early saturday morning in color\, Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)\, https://flic.kr/p/6E5PXd

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #7 How do investment screenings affect (Chinese) direct investment?
DESCRIPTION:How do investment screenings affect (Chinese) direct investment?\n  \nSpeaker \nDr. Alexander Honrath\, Head of the European China Desk of Eversheds Sutherlands\nDr. Joachim Pohl\, OECD Investment Division \nTime: 17.02.2022\, 11.00 – 12:00 \nPlease register here. \n  \n\n\n\nTopic \nFor some years now\, foreign direct investment in private companies has been subject to state control in many European countries. The screening of mergers and acquisitions above a certain size\, in specific sectors\, and often depending on the investor’s proximity to a foreign state\, is officially justified on the grounds of protecting public order. In the public debate\, the rapid increase of Chinese investments in Europe until 2016 is viewed as one of the main reasons for the introduction of investment screenings\, the expansion of the number of controlled economic sectors\, and the introduction of the new intra-European coordination. In the seventh Global China Conversation\, our speakers analyze these developments detailed above and explain the importance of investment screenings in practice. We also discuss the consequences of investment audits on (Chinese) direct investments in European companies and undesirable side effects on the economy. \n  \n\n\nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nGlobal China Conversation #7 will be held in German. \n\n\n  \n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDr. Alexander Honrath  \nAlexander Honrath is Partner at Eversheds Sutherland in Munich\, Head of the European China Desk of Eversheds Sutherlands\, one of the largest law firms in the world.

He is further involved in Asian-European capital markets transactions\, e.g. he advised on the first IPO of a German company at the regulated market in Hong Kong. Prior to his engagement at Eversheds Sutherland\, he worked as investment banker in two large banks in the capital market business. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDr. Joachim Pohl \nJoachim Pohl is policy analyst in the OECD Investment Division.
