SUMMARY:Continuities and Changes in China’s Foreign Policy Since the 2010s
DESCRIPTION:Continuities and Changes in China’s Foreign Policy Since the 2010s\nProf. Jisi Wang (Peking University)\n Room: [VG 4.102]\n 6. May (Wednesday)\, 16:15–17:45\n \nAbstract:\nSince the 2010s\, China’s reading of its strategic environment has shifted\, even as the core aims of its foreign policy have remained constant. This lecture examines these continuities and changes through the deterioration of China–US relations. It argues that the central challenge for Chinese foreign policy today is how to protect national interests in an era of long-term strategic competition without allowing competition to become self-reinforcing confrontation. The question is therefore how China and the United States might still preserve room for coexistence\, crisis management\, and limited cooperation before the relationship hardens past recovery.\n \nSpeaker:\nProfessor Wang Jisi is Founding President of the Institute of International and Strategic Studies at Peking University. He also holds the Boya Chair Professorship (Emeritus) at the School of International Studies. His research interests include U.S. foreign policy\, China’s foreign relations\, and Asian security\, and he is the author of widely cited works in these fields\, including the influential essay “Marching Westwards: The Rebalancing of China’s Geopolitical Strategy.” Wang Jisi served as Director of the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences from 1991 to 2005\, and as Dean of the School of International Studies at Peking University until 2013.

SUMMARY:GCC #48 From Mao to Xi: How Did the CCP Rise—and How Does It Steer China’s Development?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #48 \nFrom Mao to Xi: How Did the CCP Rise—and How Does It Steer China’s Development?\n07 May 2026\n11:00 – 12:00 CEST\nOnline with registration: Register online \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nChina’s rise as a global economic and political power is closely linked to the evolving role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in shaping development strategies and governance structures. As geopolitical tensions increase and China’s global footprint expands\, understanding the institutional foundations of CCP rule is becoming increasingly relevant for policymakers and researchers alike. This Global China Conversation connects historical trajectories with present-day developments\, and provides a framework for understanding how political authority and economic transformation are intertwined in China’s development path. How has the CCP historically built and maintained political control while transforming China’s economic system? How do institutional arrangements and political incentives shape policy implementation and economic outcomes? And to what extent do historical governance practices continue to influence China’s development model under Xi Jinping? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #48 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature \nChen\, T. and Kung\, J.

SUMMARY:GCC #49 Adapting under Fire: How China Responds to Overseas Conflict Risks in the US-Iran War?
DESCRIPTION:Adapting under Fire: How China Responds to Overseas Conflict Risks in the US-Iran War?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe recent escalation of hostilities in the Persian Gulf has shone a spotlight on China’s exposure to conflict risks: both Iran and smaller states on the other side of the Gulf are home to significant Chinese investments and major suppliers of energy and other inputs for China’s economy. Such a clustering in high-risk areas is characteristic for Chinese foreign investments\, especially those made under the Belt and Road Initiative. This presents China with the challenge of protecting its sprawling overseas interests\, while its foreign policy still espouses the principles of noninterference and noninterventionism. This Global China Conversation will examine how China deals with this problem\, and how its foreign policy is changing as a result. While China remains more hesitant than other great powers to directly intervene in conflicts\, it is developing a distinct form of security agency centered on domestic security cooperation\, diplomatic mediation and employing geoeconomic leverage. But how effective is this approach? How is China grappling with an increasingly turbulent world\, and what can the Iran war tell us about the limits of its agency? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #49 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nPascal Abb\nPascal Abb is a senior researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\, focusing on how a rising China engages with global conflict environments. He is currently conducting a DFG project on China’s adaptation to conflict risks\, and guest edited a recent special issue on this topic in the Journal of Contemporary China. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChuchu Zhang\nChuchu Zhang is an Associate Professor and the Deputy Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Fudan University. As an expert in international political economy\, Zhang’s research primarily focuses on China-Middle Eastern relations\, international development\, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

SUMMARY:Encounters and Creativity: The Terminology\, Philosophy and Discourses in Chinese Buddhism and their modern Transformations
DESCRIPTION:Workshop:\nEncounters and Creativity: The Terminology\, Philosophy and Discourses in Chinese Buddhism and their modern Transformations\nTime and location: \nJune 15–17\, 2026 | Heyne Haus\, University of Göttingen \nFurther information: https://www.cemeas.de/encounters-and-creativity-the-terminology-philosophy-and-discourses-in-chinese-buddhism-and-their-modern-transformations/ \nOverview:  \nThis workshop explores the transformations of Buddhist concepts\, ideas\, and discourses in China within the broader context of long-term intercultural encounters and intellectual change since the seventeenth century. From the introduction of Christianity and new technologies to the rise of modern science and so-called “Western” intellectual trends\, China’s religious and intellectual history has been shaped through continuous interactions across regional and national boundaries. Within these processes\, Buddhism played a significant yet often underappreciated role as a medium of conceptual innovation\, cultural exchange\, and political engagement. \nRather than treating concepts and discourses as fixed categories\, this workshop approaches them as entry points for examining how Buddhist thinkers\, institutions\, and communities rearticulated ideas\, reshaped language\, and responded strategically and creatively to changing political\, social\, and intellectual conditions. Participants are invited to engage with these issues from diverse methodological and disciplinary perspectives. \nThe workshop understands “modern transformation” not as a singular rupture\, but as a complex and ongoing process involving continuities as well as changes across different temporal and spatial dimensions. It therefore encourages discussion beyond simple distinctions between “premodern” and “modern\,” while also considering regional\, transregional\, and global contexts. \n  \nParticipants: \nDanica Cao (University of Chicago) \nHuaiyu Chen (Arizona State University) \nMarino Davide (University of Göttingen) \nRichard Ellguth (Free University of Berlin) \nTalia Kav (University of Hamburg) \nJan Kiely (Geneva Graduate Institute) \nCarsten Krause (University of Hamburg) \nRongdao Lai (McGill University) \nJingjing Li (Leiden University) \nWushi Lin (Ghent University) \nChen kuo Lin (National Chengchi University) \nChristian Meyer (Free University of Berlin) \nAmandine Peronnet (National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations) \nQinqin Peng (University of Göttingen) \nJens Reinke (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) \nJustin Ritzinger (University of Miami) \nAxel Schneider (University of Göttingen) \nMiaoxiang Shi (Fo-Guang-Shan-Tempel\, Berlin) \nYongchao Shi (Fo-Guang-Shan-Tempel\, Berlin) \nShiyu Su (Leipzig University) \nFrancesca Tarocco (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice) \nYuan Yan (Independent Scholar) \nJakub Zamorski (Jagiellonian University) \nZiyi Zhu (University of Göttingen) \n  \nOrganizers and Sponsors： \n Organized by Ziyi Zhu (M.A.) and Dr. Qinqin Peng (University of Göttingen) \nAdvised by Prof. Dr. Axel Schneider (University of Göttingen) and Prof. Dr. Eyal Aviv (The George Washington University) \nCo-sponsored by the Department of East Asian Studies and Confucius Academic Institute\, \nUniversity of Göttingen.
