SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #46  Supply Chains Under Pressure: How to Understand and Respond to China’s Evolving Export Controls?
DESCRIPTION:Supply Chains Under Pressure: How to Understand and Respond to China’s Evolving Export Controls?\n26.011.2026\, 11:00 – 12:00 (CET)\nGlobal China Conversations #46\n\n\n\nRegister online\n\n\n\n\nChina’s export control policy is evolving rapidly and becoming increasingly complex\, with growing implications for global supply chains\, corporate risk management\, supply security\, and strategic autonomy at the national and supranational levels. From critical minerals to advanced technologies\, new rules and enforcement practices are reshaping how companies and governments assess exposure and build resilience. How has China’s export control policy developed over time? What are the key drivers behind its most recent measures? What are the implications for businesses? What are the broader political and geopolitical consequences for international (economic) relations? How can businesses and policymakers respond to China’s export controls and navigate the growing regulatory uncertainty in a world marked by rising geopolitical tensions?\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #46 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\n\n\n\nChina Macro Group (2025)\, Understanding China’s Evolving Approach to Export Controls and Implications for International Business\, CMG Primer.  \nGarcía Bercero\, I. and Poitiers\, N.F.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #47  Der Industrial Accelerator Act: Kann die EU ihre wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zu China in strategischen Sektoren neu gestalten?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #47 \nDer Industrial Accelerator Act: Kann die EU ihre wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zu China in strategischen Sektoren neu gestalten?\n\n\n\n\n26.03.2026 \n11:00 – 12:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nOnline \n\n\nzur Online Anmeldung\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAm 4. März 2026 stellte die Europäische Kommission den Industrial Accelerator Act vor\, der als Versuch der Europäischen Union verstanden werden kann\, ihre industrielle Basis wieder zu stärken\, strategische Abhängigkeiten zu verringern und die Kontrolle über kritische Wertschöpfungsketten zurückzugewinnen. Da chinesische Unternehmen tief in europäische Lieferketten eingebunden sind und China weiterhin zu den größten Handelspartnern der EU zählt\, könnten die Auswirkungen kaum größer sein. Was will die EU mit dem Gesetz letztlich erreichen? Wie weit ist sie bereit zu gehen\, um Chinas industrielle Dominanz herauszufordern – und zu welchem Preis? Wie könnten chinesische Unternehmen reagieren\, und welche Rolle könnte die chinesische Regierung bei der Gestaltung dieser Reaktionen spielen? Und wie könnte das Gesetz die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zwischen Europa und China verändern? \nProgramm\nDie Veranstaltung besteht aus Impulsvorträgen der Sprecher gefolgt von einer Diskussion. \nDie Global China Conversation #47 wird auf Deutsch abgehalten. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPositionspapiere\nBinder\, J.\, Dohse\, D.\, Görg\, H.\, Liu\, W.-H.\, Schoel\, B. und Semrau\, F.O.

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Monk\, the Poet\, the Bureaucrat\, and the Anarchist: Vegetarian Discourse in Republican-era China
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. John Kieschnick\n\nThe Monk\, the Poet\, the Bureaucrat\, and the Anarchist: Vegetarian Discourse in Republican-era China\n \nLocation: KWZ. 0.606\n \nTime: 02. April. (Thursday) 16:00-18:00 CET\n \nEvent page: https://www.sinologie-goettingen.de/en/events/lecture-prof-john-kieschnick-stanford-university-the-monk-the-poet-the-bureaucrat-and-the-anarchist-vegetarian-discourse-in-republican-era-china/\n\n \nAbstract\nIn the first half of the twentieth century\, leading monks were eager to harness new developments to further the longstanding Chinese Buddhist cause of vegetarianism. The prominent monk Yinguang 印光 (1862–1940) wrote essays promoting vegan soap and\, somewhat surprisingly\, MSG. Others championed the new urban vegetarian restaurants. In addition to drawing on traditional doctrines in established ways\, Buddhists also adapted teachings of karma for the modern era of nationalism. However\, Buddhists were not the only proponents of vegetarianism in Republican-era China. In this talk\, I place Buddhist vegetarian activism in the context of the vibrant discourse on politics\, culture\, and health in the early twentieth century through four figures: Yinguang\, Lü Bicheng 呂碧城 (1883–1943)\, Huang Yanpei 黃炎培 (1878–1965)\, and Li Shizeng 李石曾 (1881–1973)\, each with different motivations for promoting vegetarianism and different relationships to Buddhism.\n \nShort Bio\nJohn Kieschnick is The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Professor of Buddhist Studies and co-director of the Ho Center for Buddhist Studies at Stanford. He specializes in Chinese Buddhism\, with particular emphasis on its cultural history. He is the author of The Eminent Monk: Buddhist Ideals in Medieval China\, The Impact of Buddhism on Chinese Material Culture\, and Buddhist Historiography in China. In connection with a regular graduate seminar\, he has compiled a primer for reading Buddhist texts in Chinese. He is currently completing a translation of the Biographies of Eminent Monks Compiled during the Song Dynasty and is writing a general history of Chinese vegetarianism.\nPh.D.\, Stanford University (1996); B.A.\, University of California at Berkeley (1986).

SUMMARY:Lecture: Repositioning Women in the History of Chinese Buddhism: Case studies from the Late Qing and Republican Sichuan
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stefania Travagnin \nRepositioning Women in the History of Chinese Buddhism: Case studies from the Late Qing and Republican Sichuan\n\n \nLocation: KWZ. 0.609\n \nTime: 09. April (Thursday) 2026\, 16:00-18:00 CET\n \nEvent page: https://www.sinologie-goettingen.de/en/events/lecture-hybrid-dr-stefania-travagnin-soas-university-of-london-repositioning-women-in-the-history-of-chinese-buddhism-case-studies-from-the-late-qing-and-republican-sichuan/\n\n \nZoom Link: https://uni-goettingen.zoom-x.de/j/65461522559?pwd=xFzg0W5tTRse8dDjbHK92ga9HrHD2t.1\n \nAbstract\n \nThe history of Chinese Buddhism has too often been told as a story of male monks\, with particular emphasis on a select group of “eminent” figures. I propose a different approach by centering female communities—especially small nunneries—and attending to the so-far unheard voices of Buddhist women. As my findings show\, Buddhist women have not simply witnessed the unfolding of history; they have been active agents in making it. \n \nMy research is based on archival research and multi-year fieldwork conducted in both urban and rural areas of Sichuan\, encompassing one hundred temples and their resident nuns\, as well as several institutes of Buddhist studies that had been established for lay Buddhist women and nuns’ education. In this talk\, I will highlight the leadership roles nuns played in the religious sphere and in local communities from the late Qing and Republican periods to the present day. Based on recurring patterns and areas of excellence in my data\, I have so far identified seven main themes that best illustrate Buddhist women in late Qing and Republican Sichuan: (1) entrepreneurship in education and culture; (2) inner-Sangha relations and networks; (3) involvement in wars; (4) the building or revival of Buddhist sites; (5) historiography and memorialization strategies; (6) life on sacred mountains; and (7) spiritual and societal authority. I will also offer methodological and theoretical reflections that formed the foundations of my work and that may serve as models for similar future studies.\n \nThis study aims to advance an alternative history in which nuns are protagonists\, the marginal becomes exemplary\, and the very notion of “eminence” is redefined; it unfolds a page of history that both complements and challenges the official (male) narrative of modern Chinese Buddhism\, while illuminating the distinctive local features of Sichuan Buddhism.\n \n\n \nShort Bio\n \nStefania Travagnin is a Reader in Chinese Buddhism at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)\, where she also chairs the Centre of Buddhist Studies. Her interdisciplinary work focuses on Buddhism and Buddhist communities in modern China and Taiwan\, from the late nineteenth century to the present. As co-director of the project “Mapping Religious Diversity in Modern Sichuan\,” initially supported by a Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange Research Grant (2017–2023)\, she has examined Buddhist communities in Sichuan\, with particular attention to nuns and nunneries in the late Qing and Republican eras. She has recently completed a British Academy–funded project (2024–2025) on Tzu Chi humanitarianism beyond Asia. Travagnin has edited and co-edited several volumes\, including Religion and Media in China: Insights and Case Studies from the Mainland\, Taiwan\, and Hong Kong (Routledge 2016)\, the three-volume publication Concepts and Methods for the Study of Chinese Religions (De Gruyter 2019–2020)\, and Buddhism and International Humanitarian Law (Routledge 2023); she is editor-in-chief of Review of Religion and Chinese Society.

SUMMARY:Lecture: “What Kind of Innovation is e-CNY?” by Karman Lucero (Yale Law School)\, 21 April 2026\, 16:30 (KWZ 0.608)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: “What Kind of Innovation is e-CNY?” by Karman Lucero (Yale Law School)\, 21 April 2026\, 16:30 (KWZ 0.608)\n \nE-CNY: China’s Digital Currency\n\nJoin us on 21 April 2026 at 16:30 (KWZ 0.608) for an insightful talk by Karman Lucero\, Senior Fellow at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center. In his lecture\, “What kind of innovation is e-CNY?”\, he explores China’s digital yuan\, examining the gap between its ambitious policy goals and real-world implementation—and what this means for the future of global finance.\n\nTo sign up\, please write a short email to chinarecht@jura.uni-goettingen.de\n\nTitle: E-CNY: China’s Digital Currency\nDate: 21. April 2026\, 16:30 Uhr\nRoom: KWZ 0.608\nSpeaker: Karman Lucero (Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center)\nThis event is sponsored by AKI Göttingen (Academic Confucius Institute Göttingen)\, and organized by the DCIR and the Centre for Modern East Asian Studies (CeMEAS). Thank you for your cooperation!\n\n\nTitle: “What kind of innovation is e-CNY?”\n\nAbout the speaker:\nKarman Lucero is a Senior Fellow at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center. His research focuses on China’s governance of emerging technologies\, particularly artificial intelligence\, AI governance in the U.S.\, global AI governance\, and U.S.-China relations. He has organized multiple ongoing Track 1.5 and Track 2 dialogues that bring together academic and private sector experts as well as policy makers in the U.S. and China to address topics pertaining to domestic and transnational AI governance. He has published op-eds and public-facing scholarship in The Global Law Review\, The Republic\, The South China Morning Post\, Project Syndicate\, Lawfare\, and elsewhere. Further\, he has advised policy makers in the U.S.\, UK\, EU\, Japan\, and other countries on how to understand and respond to China’s approach towards regulating AI\, data flows\, digital currencies\, and other emerging technologies. He was a visiting scholar at Peking University and Renmin University and holds a J.D. and B.A. from Columbia University.\n\nAbout the topic:\nChina has developed and promoted its own central bank digital currency (CBDC)\, the digital yuan (e-CNY)\, in order to stay ahead of the financial infrastructure of the future\, strengthen state oversight and control over payments\, and change the nature of its relationship with fintech giants. The state has also touted the longer-term goals of internationalizing the RMB and leading fintech advancements. In practice\, the rollout of e-CNY has thus far fallen short of many of its stated goals.
