SUMMARY:Dr. Austin Strange: The Political Logics of Chinese Global Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Political Logics of Chinese Global Infrastructure\n\n\nDate: November 11\, 2024\, 18:00-19:30 \nLocation:  ZHG 004 \n\n\nAbstract: Infrastructure is a major component of China’s presence in global development and is also central to larger debates about China’s evolving roles in the world economy and international politics. This talk will present a comprehensive account of major\, Chinese government-financed infrastructure projects across the Global South since 1949 to the present day. New historical and contemporary datasets show Chinese global infrastructure’s distinctiveness in terms of its historical tenacity and massive contemporary scope. The data include hundreds of 20th-century overseas infrastructure projects that predate contemporary China’s infrastructure spree during the Going Out strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative. These projects and their underlying political logics suggest that global infrastructure will remain a crucial component of China’s role in international development even as the BRI evolves toward smaller\, more sustainable\, and digital infrastructure forms. The talk will also feature new findings from analyses of observational and experimental data on how overseas infrastructure projects relate to China’s international influence.\n\n\n\n\nBio: Austin Strange is an Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong. He teaches and researches international relations\, international development\, and Chinese foreign policy. He is the author of Chinese Global Infrastructure (Cambridge University Press\, 2023) and co-author of Banking on Beijing: The Aims and Impacts of China’s Overseas Development Program (Cambridge University Press\, 2022). Austin’s research has appeared or is forthcoming in American Economic Journal: Economic Policy\, Journal of Politics\, International Studies Quarterly\, and Journal of Conflict Resolution\, among others. In 2022 Austin was awarded the University of Hong Kong’s Early Career Teaching Award. From 2023-2025 he is a fellow in the National Committee on United States-China Relations Public Intellectuals Program\, and previously he was a fellow at the Wilson Center and the Columbia-Harvard China and the World Program. Austin earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University\, an M.A. from Zhejiang University\, and a B.A. from College of William and Mary.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #36 Dealing with Local Government Debt: Can China Learn from the Euro Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:Dealing with Local Government Debt: Can China Learn from the Euro Crisis?\n  \n Time: November 25\, 2024\, 11:00-12:00 [CET]  \nlocation: Online on Zoom – Registration [In English] \n  \nChina’s local governments are facing an escalating debt crisis\, with some provinces\, like Guizhou\, reaching debt-to-GDP ratios as high as 150%—levels comparable to Greece during the European debt crisis. While China’s central government has implemented multifaceted debt management strategies\, such as backing refinancing bonds and restructuring loans\, it is constrained by the small staff of the Ministry of Finance\, limited fiscal oversight\, and a reluctance to offer direct fiscal support due to concerns over moral hazard. This event will explore how challenges with local government debt faced by China’s “Troika” comprising the Ministry of Finance\, People’s Bank of China\, and Financial Sector Regulator NAFRE mirrors the fiscal problems faced by Greece during the Eurozone crisis. How can China balance fiscal consolidation with the need to maintain local economic growth\, especially when monetary policy is constrained and local governments have significant fiscal independence? Can Chinese provinces take on more debt than European countries without running into the same pitfalls? How should the Government communicate with the public to anchor expectations and mitigate adverse impacts on consumption and investment? Drawing lessons from the European Union’s and the IMF’s responses to Greece’s debt crisis\, we will analyze the potential risks and solutions for China as it navigates its local debt crisis. \n  \nProgram \nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #36 will be held in English. \n  \nLiterature \nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publications: \nKai\, G.\, Schipke\, A.\, (2024).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Mei Li Inouye (Stanford University): Soviet Dramatic Theory on a Shanghai Stage: Stanislavski\, Zhang Min\, and the Shanghai Amateur Dramatist Association
DESCRIPTION:Soviet Dramatic Theory on a Shanghai Stage: Stanislavski\, Zhang Min\, and the Shanghai Amateur Dramatist Association\n  \nTime: January\, 27 from 4-6 pm\nVenue: KWZ 1.601\n\n\n\n\nAbstract:​ References to Stanislavski are commonplace in the historiography of Chinese socialist theater and cinema. Scholars have largely focused on translations of Stanislavski into Chinese as the starting point for Stanislavski in China\, crediting director and actor Zheng Junli 郑君里(1911–1969) with the first translation of Stanislavski’s An Actor’s Works in 1943. However\, Zheng Junli was not the only translator of An Actor’s Works. First introduced to Stanislavski by director and theater scholar Zhang Min at the Shanghai Amateur Dramatists Association during the 1930s\, Zheng Junli worked as an actor under Zhang Min’s directorship and co-translated An Actor’s Works with him. This paper explores Chinese modern dramatists’ early reception and experiments with Stanislavski by attending to the elements of Stanislavski’s theories that received the most attention in practice. It demonstrates that Stanislavski’s system was a familiar system within acting and film circles prior to its translation and how the practice and circulation of Stanislavski within the elite circles of modern dramatist practitioners laid the ground for its widespread acceptance in the 1950s in the domains of both theater and cinema prior to being banned in the 1960s. This paper concludes with considerations of the effects of those experiments on actors and actresses who acted in those productions and who participated in the banning of Stanislavski in the 1960s. \nBio:Mei Li Inouye is an assistant professor of Chinese at Centre College with a Ph.D. in Chinese Literature from Stanford University. Her research interests include transnational exchange\, gender politics\, performance and remix studies in modern Chinese literature\, theater\, and visual culture. Her book project\, “Performing Jiang Qing (1914-1991): Gender\, Performance\, and Power in Modern China\,” examines the most powerful\, visible\, and reviled woman in the history of modern China as a cultural remix and durational performance that can help us understand the interplay of gender\, performance\, media\, and power in the worlds she inhabited and the scholarship that has tried to understand those worlds. Her scholarship has been supported by a CLIR-Mellon Fellowship\, the Stanford Humanities Center\, and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University. Her article\, “Marketing Jiang Qing: Revolutionary\, Modern Girl\, and Dangerous Woman in Left-wing Cinema\,” is forthcoming in the Journal of Chinese Cinemas. Her article\, “Soviet Dramatic Theory and Dramas on Stage in 1930s Shanghai\,” can be found in the fall 2022 issue (5.2) of International Comparative Literature.  \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #37  How Will Trump 2.0 Reshape European-Chinese Economic Relations?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversation #37 – How Will Trump 2.0 Reshape European-Chinese Economic Relations?\n  \nJanuary 30\, 2025 | 14:00-15:00 [CET] |\nZoom (Online)\nLanguage: English \n  \nTopic\nThe return of Donald Trump to the office of US President heralds a shift in the global geopolitical and geo-economic landscape\, with profound implications for European-Chinese relations. Under Trump’s first administration\, U.S.-China tensions escalated\, leading to a reconfiguration of global trade and investment flows\, as well as intensified pressure on European policymakers to align more closely with Washington’s China strategy. With the onset of Trump 2.0\, Europe faces an even greater challenge to reconcile its strategic autonomy with economic relations with China\, its second largest trading partner\, and its long-standing alliance with the United States. \nFor Europe\, the implications can be profound: potential reductions in exports to the U.S.\, a surge in Chinese imports\, and heightened economic uncertainty. As the EU navigates these turbulent waters\, critical questions demand attention. Can Europe’s de-risking strategy with China coexist with increased trade and investment? What role will the World Trade Organization play in mediating this evolving power dynamic? Are we witnessing the rise of permanent economic and political blocs\, and how should the EU respond? This Global China Conversation will explore how Trump 2.0 might reshape European-Chinese economic relations under the pressures of shifting alliances\, economic protectionism\, and strategic competition. \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #37 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Posen  \nAdam S.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #39  The Future of Sustainable Supply Chains – What Are the Key Challenges for Europe and China?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #39 The Future of Sustainable Supply Chains – What Are the Key Challenges for Europe and China?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopic\nThe sustainable transformation of global value chains has come under attack. Industry leaders complain about bureaucracy monsters and for many politicians the “chainsaw” has become the preferred tool when it comes to supply chain laws and sustainability reporting. As large trading blocks\, Europe and China are at the centre of these controversies. Can the idea of sustainable supply chains survive in the current climate? Can trade and foreign direct investment have a positive effect on environmental policies in China and elsewhere? And what are the consequences for companies operating in Europe and China? In GCC #22\, we will discuss these and other issues with our experienced experts. \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #22 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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\nLisa Fröhlich  \nProf. Dr. habil.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #40 Schwächelnder Konsum\, schwächelndes Wachstum: Kann China die Binnennachfrage ankurbeln?
DESCRIPTION:Schwächelnder Konsum\, schwächelndes Wachstum: Kann China die Binnennachfrage ankurbeln?\n  \n  \nZeit: am 24.04.2025\, 11-12 Uhr [CET] \nOrt: Online auf Zoom [Auf Deutsch] – Registrierung \nDie chinesische Wirtschaft 2024 hat erneut nur mäßig expandiert. Besonders bremsend wirkten der gedämpfte private Konsum und der fehlende Schwung bei privaten Investitionen. Die entscheidende Stütze für Chinas wirtschaftliche Expansion kam vom Ausland. Doch die weiter steigenden Handelsspannungen mit den Vereinigten Staaten drohen diese Stütze zu schwächen. In Zeiten hoher außenwirtschaftspolitischer Unsicherheiten hängt Chinas wirtschaftliches Wachstum entscheidend davon ab\, ob sich die Binnennachfrage zu einer nachhaltigen Stütze der Wirtschaft entwickeln kann. Wie wird die chinesische Regierung die Binnenanfrage ankurbeln? Wird China politisch und wirtschaftlich gesehen gelingen\, daraus eine einheimische wirtschaftliche Stütze zu entwickeln?  Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich dabei? Können deutsche und europäische Unternehmen von der Politik zur Förderung der Binnennachfrage profitieren? \n  \nProgramm \nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprechenden gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #40 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n  \nLiteratur \nDrinhausen\, K.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Writing World History in a Global Historical Context: Perspectives on Meiji Japan and Contemporary Taiwan
DESCRIPTION:Writing World History in a Global Historical Context: Perspectives on Meiji Japan and Contemporary Taiwan\nProf. Mu-chou Poo (Chinese University of Hong Kong) \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n29. April (Tuesday)\, 18:00-20:00 \n  \nAbstract:  \nThis talk will address two issues: the unique situation of Japanese learning of Western history and civilization in the mid-Nineteenth Century (Meiji Period)\, and the development of World History textbook writing as a response/reaction to the political process in contemporary Taiwan. For Japan\, I will concentrate on the writing of ancient Western history\, in particular the ancient Near East\, as this period touches upon the origin of human civilization\, which was of vital importance in terms of political\, cultural\, and religious implications to Japan’s effort of nation building. For Taiwan\, the more liberal new national standard textbooks of mid-1980’s sought to debunk the old frame of textbook writing\, and to introduce new concepts in history education; the decentralized textbooks of the late-1990’s were involved in the struggle of identity politics\, and took a more conservative turn in terms of writing style and interpretation. \nSpeaker: \nMu-chou Poo (PhD in Egyptology\, Johns Hopkins 1984)\, is adjunct Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He had worked as a Research Fellow at Academia Sinica\, Taipei\, from 1984-2009\, and Chair Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, 2009-2023\, and taught at various places\, including Columbia\, UCLA\, and Grinnell College.  Research interests include religion and society in ancient Egypt and China. Major publications include Burial and the Idea of Life and Death: Essay on Ancient Chinese Religion (Taipei\, 1993); Wine and Wine Offering in the Religion of Ancient Egypt (London: Kegan Paul\, 1995); In Search of Personal Welfare: A View of Ancient Chinese Religion (Albany: SUNY\, 1998); Enemies of Civilization: Attitudes toward Foreigners in Ancient Mesopotamia\, Egypt and China (Albany: SUNY\, 2005). (Ed.) Rethinking Ghosts in World Religions (Leiden: Brill\, 2009). Old Society\, New Belief\, Religious Transformation of China and Rome\, ca. 1st-6th Centuries. Ed. With H. A. Drake and Lisa Raphals\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Daily Life in Ancient China (Cambridge U Press\, 2018)\, Ghosts and Religious Life in Early China (Cambridge U Press\, 2022)\, and The Netherworld in Ancient Egypt and China: An Imagined Paradise (London: Bloomsbury\, 2023) \nOrganizer:  \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n\n© This image was generated with the assistance of OpenAI’s Chat GPT and is intended solely for promotional use.

DESCRIPTION:Should Children be Carefree? A Chinese and Global Debate\nProf. Hsiung Ping-Chen (Secretary General\, CIPSH)\n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n 6. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45\nAbstract:  \nRecognized as signs of modernity\, children\, free roaming\, have been referred to as a best representatives for a progressive society.  Historically in China\, however\, as early as the Song Dynasty\, unique attention to children at play in arts and children’s health in traditional pediatrics prevailed\, as Neo-Confucian philosophers continued to debate whether they ought to be left carefree. Illustrated with Chinese paintings and medical texts\, this lecture will trace a thousand years of ebbs and flows of such concerns and interests on the nature of childhood. To reflect also on a contention and obsession with how to lessen burdens for today’s schoolers too\, in creating a child friendly environment that connects contemporary China with the rest of the world. The talk intends to offer a public occasion to argue and deliberate on this never-ending tug of war over whether or how children should be set free. \nSpeaker: \nProfessor Hsiung Ping-chen is a distinguished scholar and academic leader in the humanities\, with a multifaceted career across renowned international institutions. She holds a PhD in History from Brown University and an MSc from the Harvard School of Public Health. Her research spans childhood studies\, gender and family history\, and health humanities\, with a particular focus on Late Imperial and Modern China. She also engages with comparative cultural and social history\, public health\, and the intellectual history of Russia. Professor Hsiung has published extensively on the history of Chinese pediatrics\, the cultural memory of childhood\, and the evolution of health practices in Chinese society. Since 2020\, Professor Hsiung has served as Secretary-General of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH)\, and she was re-elected to this position in 2023. Among other academic distinctions\, she also holds the UNESCO Co-Chair in “Global Asia” at McGill University and the CIPSH Chair in “New Humanities” at the University of California\, Irvine.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies
DESCRIPTION:Journey to the East (and Back): China and “Western Esotericism” from Reception History to Global Religious Studies\nDavide Marino (University of Erlangen-Nürnberg)\n\n  \nDate: May 8\, 2025\nTime: 18:00 – 19:30\nPlace: KWZ 0.603  \nAbstract: \nThis presentation examines the intricate and multifaceted relationship between Chinese spiritual culture(s) and the field of “Western Esotericism.” For centuries\, the East\, and particularly China\, was regarded by Europeans as a repository of superior spiritual knowledge\, a realm of profound wisdom that seemed inaccessible to the West. This perception of the East as a mystical and enigmatic source of ancient wisdom persisted across various periods of European intellectual history\, with China holding a particularly prominent place in Western imagination. Beginning in the early modern period\, and reaching its peak during the colonial era\, Western thinkers found abundant inspiration in Chinese religions\, philosophies\, and cultural practices and these elements were integrated into the evolving spiritual and philosophical discourses of the time\, ultimately becoming essential components of the eclectic mix of ideas now known as “Western Esotericism.” China was not simply “received” or passively absorbed into Western thought; rather\, various Chinese intellectuals\, spiritual leaders\, and cultural movements became active participants in a global esoteric discourse that transcended geographical boundaries and facilitated the exchange of ideas. This dynamic of intellectual and spiritual exchange is even more pronounced in contemporary times. While in “the West\,” Chinese cultural elements such as Chinese medicine\, the Daodejing\, and the notion of qi have become widely embraced as staples of global post-confessional spirituality\, “Western Esotericism” is increasingly being discussed\, reinterpreted\, and adapted in the People’s Republic\, both in commercial contexts and within academic discourse. This growing interest reflects a reciprocal flow of ideas that continues to shape global spiritual trends. Although often overlooked by Western scholars\, Chinese perspectives on “Western Esotericism” present a challenge to traditional diffusionist models\, which tend to view the flow of ideas as a one-way process. Instead\, these Chinese perspectives reveal a more complex and circular flow of ideas\, which calls into question the conventional notion of one-way reception (whether “from East to West” or “from West to East”). China did not merely provide raw material for Western thinkers to appropriate and adapt for their own purposes; rather\, Chinese cultural and spiritual traditions actively shaped and influenced the trajectory of global discourses on esotericism. Likewise\, contemporary Chinese discourses on “Western Esotericism” are increasingly framed around both domestic issues—such as the role and necessity of regulating religion in Chinese society—and international debates on religion\, science\, and public health. Thus\, this presentation advocates for a global and interdisciplinary approach to the study of esotericism—one that recognizes the entangled and reciprocal histories of “China” and “the West\,” and acknowledges their shared responsibility in shaping the development of modern and postmodern alternative religious trajectories. \nDavide Marino\, PhD \nDavide Marino specializes in the interplay between East Asian religions\, particularly Chinese\, and European Esotericism\, with a focus on Traditionalism. His Ph.D. thesis\, which received the CUHK Young Scholars Thesis Award in 2023\, examined the influence of Chinese and Vietnamese religious concepts on the works of Albert de Pouvourville and René Guénon. More recently\, he has been investigating the intersection of politics and esotericism in both China and Europe. \nOrganizers:\nDepartment of East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies\, University of Göttingen \nImage: Image: Gauthier Delecroix\, Spirituality   CC BY 2.0\, https://flic.kr/p/MxGNDj

SUMMARY:Lecture: Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience
DESCRIPTION:Towards a New World Order: Reading Zhao Tingyang’s Tianxia in Light of the Japanese Experience\n \n\n\n\n\n Prof. Viren Murthy (University of Wisconsin-Madison)\n\n\n\nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21\n\n\n \n\n\n13. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15–19:45\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nToday in the midst of a global pandemic\, we are constantly confronted with the inability of national governments to create the conditions for human flourishing.   In this context\, the recent attempts from Chinese Confucianists to envision a new world order could point the way to a more sustainable future.  This global gesture in recent Confucian theory overlaps with recent trends in Marxism. For example\, Jacques Bidet has written of an incipient world-state (état-monde)\, which could potentially go against the capitalist world order.  From its inception\, Marxism has been interested in a global movement to overcome capitalism.   But tianxia theorists seem to proceed from the opposite direction of Marxism.   Put simply\, while Marxists explain philosophical theories by relating them to social and historical structures\, Confucian tianxia theorists proceed from philosophy to history and politics.  Recently\, Marxists have questioned the Confucian tianxia approach and contend that such theories are merely an ideology to legitimate Chinese capitalism and the imperialist tendency of the contemporary Chinese government. In response to such criticisms\, I attempt to synthesize Marxism and tianxia theory by focusing on the contemporary Chinese thinker\, Zhao Tingyang.  With respect to imperialism\, one of the key issues concerns how Zhao envisions the unity of a world as encompassing the many\, without negating their particularity.   I deal with this ideal philosophically\, making comparisons to Hegel’s conception and also to thinkers in interwar Japan\, which was imperialist.  I claim that Zhang can avoid the pitfall of the Japanese path\, only if he places the problems of capitalism at the center of his theory.  In short\, one will not be able to achieve a non-imperialist global unity that respects multiplicity without overcoming global capitalism. \n\n\n \n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\nMy work probes the historical conditions for the possibility of philosophy and politics in the modern world and in East Asia in particular. I am generally interested in the attempts of East Asian intellectuals to resist modernity through reviving premodern philosophies and religions\, such as Buddhism. My first book\, The Political Philosophy of Zhang Taiyan: The Resistance of Consciousness\, shows how in early 20th century China\, Zhang Taiyan\, drew on Consciousness-Only (Yogācāra) Buddhism to formulate a theory of revolution. In particular\, the book explains how this seemingly ancient body of knowledge is reformulated as China was incorporated into the global capitalist system of nation-states. \n \nIn June 2022\, I published The Politics of Time in China and Japan: Back to the Future (Routledge)\, which is a collection of essays that explore how Chinese and Japanese intellectuals mobilize traditional texts to create a better future. They produce what I call “back to the future” narratives\, in which they conjure the past to envision a world beyond global capitalism. These narratives are nationalistic but unlike in England and the United States\, this nationalism is connected to anti-imperialism and resistance to global inequality. I suggest that such inequality also divides Europe\, which enables comparisons between Germany and Asian nations\, all of whom saw themselves as being marginalized. \n \nMy third monograph Pan-Asianism and Legacy of the Chinese Revolution (University of Chicago Press\, 2023) shows how intellectuals in China and Japan promoted unity among weak Asian nations to resist Western domination. To promote such unity\, pan-Asianists struggled against Eurocentric visions of history articulated by philosophers such as Hegel\, who argued that the Orient had to follow the West. At the same time\, these thinkers appropriated Hegel’s criticisms of abstract individualism. I contend that Japanese and Chinese pan-Asianists drew on elements of both Asian and Western culture to posit a world beyond narrow self-interest\, capitalism\, and imperialism. The legacy of pan-Asianism is complex given that Japan employed this ideology to promote imperialism. Consequently\, postwar Japanese pan-Asianists had to confront the problem of war memory. Postwar pan-Asianists tried to show that a healthy transnationalism was both possible and necessary to struggle against Western imperialism. \n \nMy present project concerns how East Asian intellectuals drew on G.W.F Hegel to uncover logics to Chinese and Japanese history\, which culminate in a new world order inspired by their respective cultures. In addition to the above projects connected to East Asia\, I am also involved in a project on South Indian Classical Music and Tamil Identity\, which also explores issues of how traditions have been reconstituted by capitalist modernity. I have also been interested in how Marxists in (primarily in the North Atlantic) have drawn on Jewish Messianism to confront capitalist modernity.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nImage Disclaimer: \nThis promotional poster was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT (DALL·E) for non-commercial academic purposes.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy
DESCRIPTION:The Great Transformation of International Order and the Future of Chinese Economy\n  \nProf. Gao Bai (Duke University) \n  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n 27. May (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45 \n  \nAbstract:  \nThe international order established after World War II is currently experiencing a profound transformation.  Many Chinese use 百年未有之大变局 （major changes unseen in a century）to describe the current situation. \n What are the driving forces behind this great transformation? \nIn his newly published book titled 《把脉：全球巨变与中国经济》（Taking A Pulse：Global Transformation and the Chinese economy）\, Bai Gao uses three long cycles of history\, which include the pendulum movement of globalization\, the cycle of hegemonic expansions\, and technological revolution\, to explain the drastic changes occurring in the international economic order and their profound impacts on the Chinese economy. \nBai Gao demonstrates that since China’s reform and opening up\, the dynamics of development of the Chinese economy have changed twice\, first to the world factory model focusing on external circulation by promoting export\, and then shifted to a supply-side demand model emphasizing internal circulation sustained by government spending in infrastructure construction and private investment in real estate. With low birth rate and ageing population and mounting debts of local governments\, these old strategies can no longer sustain economic growth.  Bai Gao predicts a new model for the Chinese economy in the 21st century: 休养生息（rest and recuperate）by developing strong social protection programs\, and 强筋壮骨 （strengthen muscles and bones）by upgrading industries and developing international competitiveness. \nSpeaker: \nGao Bai is a lifelong professor of sociology at Duke University. Professor Gao Bai graduated from Peking University in the 1980s and received a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. In 1994\, he graduated from the Department of Sociology of Princeton University and received a doctorate in sociology. \nProfessor Gao Bai’s main research fields include economics and society\, comparative history sociology\, organizational theory\, comparative political economy\, international political economy and globalization. \nProfessor Gao Bai has been teaching at Duke University since graduation; has been a visiting scholar at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Tokyo\, the Department of Economics of the University of One Bridge\, the School of International Business and Law of Yokohama National University\, the Tokyo University of Economics and the Max Planck Institute of Social Studies in Cologne\, Germany; has been a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo\, Meiji University and Jacob University in Bremen\, Germany\, as a self-strengthening professor at the University of Shanghai and a lecture professor at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics; and has been the director and chief expert of the China High Speed Railway Development Strategy Research Center at Southwest Jiaotong University since June 2014. \nOrganizer:  \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen

SUMMARY:Gab es außereuropäische Kolonialreiche?  Theoretisch-konzeptuelle Überlegungen am Beispiel des Qingreichs (1636-1912)
DESCRIPTION:Gab es außereuropäische Kolonialreiche? Theoretisch-konzeptuelle Überlegungen am Beispiel des Qingreichs (1636-1912)\n  \nZeit: 16.00-17:30\, 2. Juni 2025 \nOrt: KWZ 0.607\, Göttingen \nVortrag: Julia C. Schneider \n  \nAbstract \nSeit etwas mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten findet man in der historischen Forschung vermehrt die Konzeptualisierung des Qingreichs und anderer außereuropäischer Reiche wie des osmanischen und des russischen Reichs als Kolonialreiche. Parallel zu den europäischen imperialistischen Kolonialreichen und -staaten der frühen Neuzeit\, so die These\, hätten sie in eroberten Gebieten koloniale Projekte durchgeführt und Siedlungskolonialismus unterstützt. \nIn meinem Vortrag stelle ich diese These auf den Prüfstand\, indem ich am Fall der manjurischen Qingdynastie zeige\, warum der Begriff Kolonialreich und verwandte Begriffe in den Empire studies verwendet werden\, was ihre Verwendung mit Postkolonialismus zu tun hat und warum sie aus meiner Sicht letztlich unzutreffend sind. \n  \nCV: Julia C. Schneider ist Professorin für Sinologie an der Universität Hamburg. Von 2019 bis 2024 war sie Lecturer bzw. Senior Lecturer für chinesische Geschichte am University College Cork (Irland). Nach einem Magister in klassischer Sinologie (Heidelberg) hat sie an den Universitäten Gent und Göttingen in Sinologie promoviert (Cotutelle). \nJulia C. Schneider befasst sich vor allem mit Ideengeschichte.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Guerrilla Practice and the Cultural Conjury of Cooperation in Wartime China\, 1937-1945
DESCRIPTION:Guerrilla Practice and the Cultural Conjury of Cooperation in Wartime China\, 1937-1945\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \n  \nDr. Harlan Chambers (University of Göttingen)  \nPH 20. Hörsaal der Philosophischen Fakultät\, Humboldtallee 19/21 \n3. June (Tuesday)\, 18:15-19:45 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbstract:  \nWithin the long\, global history of modern guerrilla warfare and related practices of “small wars\,” revolutionaries and scholars alike have regarded Mao Zedong’s texts on guerrilla war as formative to post WWII liberation struggles. In this talk\, I will argue that beyond Mao’s famous texts on military strategy\, the “guerrilla” as it was developed in China’s War to Resist Japan articulated a cultural and philosophical project to forge a new logic of political-economic development. Progressive thinkers and creative writers working amongst guerrilla zones narrated “guerrilla practices” as those of cooperative construction\, a non-exploitive form of economic organization that rejected the extractive economics of fascism that were engendered by Japanese invasion and Nationalist hegemony. \n         First\, I will examine how Chinese thinkers staged and debated the guerrilla in 1930s China\, particularly in light of Italy’s invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia). By analyzing international developments\, progressive thinkers not only formulated the guerrilla as a project of social reconstruction but interrogated it as a philosophical problem for thinking world history. The second part builds upon these formulations of the guerrilla to understand the particular “guerrilla practices” of the late 1930s\, which extend beyond Mao’s famous military tactics to encompass forms of cooperative economic construction in the base areas of northern China. I show that\, by the early 1940s\, guerrilla zones’ economic practices also integrated culture workers as essential for developing their particular forms of cooperative labor. Considering several cultural creations from these guerrilla zones\, particularly around the Jin-Cha-Ji base area\, I will argue that cultural works conjured a new logic of cooperatively organized economic production\, formative to the guerrilla project. \nSpeaker: \nHarlan Chambers completed his Ph.D. in Modern Chinese Literature and Culture at Columbia University in 2022 and served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Illinois Wesleyan University before joining the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen in 2024. As an interdisciplinary scholar of Chinese culture and history\, as well as feminist and critical theory\, his research interrogates the role of cultural practices in processes of social transformation\, integrating archival research with analyses of cultural texts. Harlan is part of a research team exploring the history of conceptions of world order at the University of Göttingen. \nOrganizer: \nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n\n \n\nImage Disclaimer: \nThis promotional poster was generated using OpenAI’s ChatGPT (DALL·E) for non-commercial academic purposes.

SUMMARY:GCC#41 Zeitenwendezeiten: Welche China-Politik sollte die neue Bundesregierung verfolgen?
DESCRIPTION:Info für GCC#41\nZeitenwendezeiten: Welche China-Politik sollte die neue Bundesregierung verfolgen?\nDie neue Bundesregierung steht vor der Aufgabe\, ihre China-Politik strategisch neu auszurichten – inmitten globaler Machtverschiebungen\, wachsender Systemrivalität und ökonomischer Interdependenz. Vor dem Hintergrund sicherheits-\, handels- und wertepolitischer Spannungsfelder stellt sich die Frage\, welche Rolle China künftig in der deutschen Außenwirtschaftspolitik spielen soll – und welche politischen Instrumente dafür angemessen sind. Dabei gilt es\, die Balance zwischen wirtschaftlicher Zusammenarbeit und geopolitischer Resilienz neu zu definieren. Wie können deutsche Interessen in einer zunehmend multipolaren Weltordnung gewahrt werden\, ohne bestehende Abhängigkeiten zu verstärken? Welche Rolle spielt die europäische China-Politik in diesem Kontext – und wie kann ein strategischer Umgang mit Risiken gestaltet werden\, ohne Chancen auf Kooperation zu verspielen? Welche Auswirkungen haben diese Überlegungen auf zentrale Politikfelder wie Handel\, Technologie\, Klimaschutz und Menschenrechte? \n  \n am 05.06.2025\, 11-12 Uhr [Auf Deutsch] \nOrt: Online auf Zoom – Registrierung \n  \nProgramm \nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprechenden gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #41 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n  \nSprechende \n \nBernd Lange \nBernd Lange (1955\, Oldenburg\, Deutschland) ist der Vorsitzende des INTA-Ausschusses. Er war von 1994 bis 2004 Abgeordneter des Europäischen Parlaments und ist seit 2009 wieder Mitglied des Parlaments. Seit 2022 ist er auch Vorsitzender der Konferenz der Ausschussvorsitzenden.

Bevor er sein erstes Mandat im Europäischen Parlament antrat\, arbeitete er elf Jahre lang als Lehrer. Er ist Mitglied der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands und Mitglied der IG Metall. Lange hat zwei Kinder und lebt in der Region Hannover. In Würdigung seiner politischen Arbeit erhielt er 2001 das Bundesverdienstkreuz. Der Vorsitzende Lange setzt sich für eine Handelspolitik ein\, die sich an universellen Werten orientiert und die Interessen aller Menschen und die Nachhaltigkeit in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Seiner Ansicht nach sollte der Handel als Instrument zur Verbesserung der Lebensbedingungen der Menschen eingesetzt werden. Er ist ein überzeugter Multilateralist und eine der treibenden Kräfte hinter der stärkeren Betonung von Arbeits- und Klimafragen in Handelsabkommen. Darüber hinaus ist er ein Verfechter von Nachhaltigkeitsgesetzen und setzt sich dafür ein\, dass diese durchführbar sind und partnerschaftlich erarbeitet werden. \nFoto: Fotograf: Waldemar Salesski \n  \n  \n \nJürgen Matthes \nJürgen Matthes ist Leiter des Kompetenzfelds Internationale Wirtschaftsordnung und Konjunktur am Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln.

SUMMARY:Lecture: ‘Contesting the Liberal Script? The AIIB and World Bank in Development Finance.’
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: ‘Contesting the Liberal Script? The AIIB and World Bank in Development Finance.’\nDate: 11.06.2025\nTime: 13:00 – 14:00\nPlace: Raum 1.110 THEO\n \nSoo Yeon Kim\nAssociate Professor\, Pacific Affairs School of Public Policy and Global Affairs\, University of British Columbia \nSoo Yeon Kim \n\n\n\nAbstract: Does the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)\, formed through China’s initiative\, contest the liberal script on development finance led by existing international financial institutions?  This paper engages the important debate on the shape and trajectory of the liberal international order where China is increasingly playing a prominent role. The research problem focuses on how the AIIB conducts development finance and to whether they are aligned with the US-led World Bank. The analysis utilizes quantitative text analysis to examine project documents from the AIIB and World Bank\, leveraging the rich textual dimension of their funding activities. The paper advances the argument that the AIIB’s funding priorities align with those of the World Bank\, due to overlapping mandates\, many co-financed projects\, and China’s motivation for leading the formation of the AIIB. The analysis finds that the AIIB does not contest and is largely aligned with the liberal script of development finance in its funded projects. Project documents indicate overlap in how the AIIB and World Bank conduct lending and prioritize development objectives\, including the application of equivalent environmental and social frameworks. The findings also indicate an emerging of a division of labor between the AIIB and World Bank. AIIB funding favors infrastructure projects that enhance connectivity in the transport and energy sectors\, while World Bank funding emphasizes education\, social policy\, and other areas related to human development. The AIIB may well be expanding the “liberal script” of development finance\, one that is tailored to the infrastructural needs of the Asian region.\n\n\nOrganizers:\nCentre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS)\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Heinrich-Düker-Weg 14\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, http://www.cemeas.de\n.\nChair of International Relations\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\,Platz der Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, Prof. Anja Jetschke https://lehrstuhlib.uni-goettingen.de\n.\nChair of Development Economics\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Platz der Göttinger Sieben 3\, 37073 Göttingen\, Germany\, Prof. Andreas Fuchs https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/614556.h

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Theory to Practice: Enhancing Inclusive L2 Chinese Language Teaching at U.S. Universities through Multimedia Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:From Theory to Practice: Enhancing Inclusive L2 Chinese Language Teaching at U.S. Universities through Multimedia Pedagogy\n  \nTime: 16:00-17:30\, 25.06.2025 \nPlace: KWZ 3.601 \nLanguage: \n\nTalk: Chinese\nHandout: English & Chinese\nQ&A: Bilingual (English / Chinese)\n\nSpeaker: \nDr. Yongli Li \nHeinrich Heine University Düsseldorf / College of the Holy Cross (USA) \n  \nOver the past two decades\, shifting geopolitics\, rapid technological advancements\, and growing scholarship on decolonialization in applied linguistics have challenged conventional language teaching pedagogies within higher education. Transforming an inclusive\, culturally sustaining\, and long-term motivating pedagogy has become the center of recent scholarship. Inclusiveness in L2 language classrooms in higher education means respecting linguistically and culturally diverse students\, and creating curricula and pedagogies that promote equity and raise awareness of social justice in classroom. What are the multifaceted dimensions of inclusiveness in Chinese language teaching in higher education? How can we enhance inclusive excellence when teaching diverse learners through task-based language learning and the strategic use of multimedia? In this talk\, I will discuss recent English-language scholarship on inclusiveness in language teaching and reflect on my experiences teaching Chinese at the university level in the U.S. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session featuring discussions on classroom task design and sharing of teaching experiences in Europe and the U.S. \n  \n讲座题目:美国大学中文二语课堂中的包容性教学与多媒体应用 \n过去二十年中，全球地缘政治的变化、数字媒体和人工智能技术的日新月异，以及应用语言学领域中去殖民化研究的不断深入，都对高等教育中传统的语言教学法提出了挑战。如何对现有的二语教学法进行革新，使其成为更具有包容性、文化持续性和长期激励性的教学法已成为近年来学术研究的重点之一。高等教育二语教学课堂的包容性教学，不仅意味着尊重语言及文化背景多元化的学生，创建具有平等性的课堂，更意指在教学大纲和课堂活动设计中激发批判性多元文化主义的思考及提高学生社会正义意识的实践。此次讲座中，将首先讨论近期英文文献中关于中文二语教学包容性的学术研究成果，并以美国大学中文二语教学课堂实践为例，探讨教学中的包容性概念，并着重分享多媒体在二语教学中的应用及其对促进包容性教学的作用。 \n  \nShort bio Yongli Li is Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies in the Department of World Languages\, Literatures\, and Cultures at College of the Holy Cross in the U.S. She specializes in Chinese film history\, urban cinema and media industry.
