China and the World
,
Ren, Yue
Note: In order to access the course descriptions, select \"Courses Offered\" from the menu on the left and follow the links to corresponding UndergraduateÊcourses. China\'s place in the world has changed dramatically since the establishment of the People\'s Republic of China in 1949. How do we account for the transformation of the country\'s position from being a Soviet ally challenging the West, to an independent radical revolutionary state, and then reform-minded country eager to join the international community? As communism collapsed elsewhere after the end of the Cold War China is becoming an emerging global power practising \'socialism with Chinese characteristics\'. How do we understand and analyze China\'s relations with the rest of the world? This course examines China\'s interaction with the rest of the world since 1949, with reference on competing perspectives including power-political, economic inter-dependence and historical-cultural analysis. The course concludes with a critical assessment of China\'s position in a globalizing world.

Beijing Red Guard Factionalism: Social Interpretations Reconsidered
,
Walder, Andrew
A generation of research on Red Guard politics has traced the origins of its debilitating factionalism to social and political divisions that were well established among students on the eve of the Cultural Revolution. These social interpretations impute political motives to student activists according to their positions in the pre-Cultural Revolution status quo. However, a closer examination of events during the summer and early autumn of 1966 in Beijing where the Red Guards and their factional divisions first emerged suggests a different interpretation. Factions took shape when student activists from similar social backgrounds responded differently to ambiguous and rapidly changing political signals. These initial acts left students on opposite sides of a growing political divide and exposed them to unforeseen risks as the movement took unpredictable turns. In this interpretation, student divisions are rooted in political interactions in the early phases of the conflict itself. Red Guard factions did not emerge in Beijing as expressions of opposed group interests based on pre-existing social divisions, but as struggles to vindicate earlier actions and avoid the harsh fate of political victims.

Building Trust in the United States-China Relationship
,
Choate, Allen C.
This paper expresses that the United States-China relationship lacks traction. There are neither sufficient mutually perceived common interests nor adequate and shared long-term goals in the relationship that allow both countries to weather the inevitable buffeting by single episodes and incidents. In recent times that list includes United States objections to what it considers to be human rights violations within China, China\'s entry into the World Trade Organization, United States charges of Chinese sales of weapons of mass destruction, the Hong Kong transition, the issue of Most Favored Nation status for China, the ongoing exposure of Asian contributions to American political campaigns, and Chinese state enterprise investments and sales in the United States. All of these issues not only influence the relationship, they actually drive it. The essay concludes with some suggestions about what needs to be done and what can be done to improve the relationship.

China and International Law
,
University of Pennsylvania
China\'s engagement with the international legal order has expanded greatly during the last quarter-century. The PRC has become a member of most major international organizations, enacted elaborate legal frameworks for foreign investment and trade, acceded to (or promised to accede to) major international conventions, entered into a host of bilateral treaties and agreements, and engaged in debates and disputes concerning international human rights and the rule of law. This seminar examines contemporary China\'s approach to international law, focusing on how China has understood and addressed key principles and doctrines of international law, and on international legal disputes and issues that have been important for China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong).Introductory sessions will focus on major themes in ChinaÕs earlier approach to international law, including those that emerged during the Maoist/high socialist period, the 19th century encounter with Western international law, and \"traditional\" Chinese approaches to international law (during the late imperial period and in classical Chinese thought).

China in the American Political Imagination
,
Carola McGiffet, ed.
As China becomes an increasingly powerful political and economic leader in Asia and around the world, Americans and Chinese alike must reexamine the images by which they judge each other. By exploring the basis of past and present perceptions (and misperceptions) of one another, we may begin the process of developing a stable relationship based on a sound understanding and accurate assessment of our mutual¡ªand at times conflicting-interests and goals. This book examines the origins of U.S. images of China. The authors represent a wide range of professional fields-global strategists, historians, journalists, military experts, business representatives, human rights activists, and government officials¡ªand explore their respective perceptions of China from their various functional points of view.

China's changing images of Japan, 1989-2001: the struggle to balance partnership and rivalry
,
Rozman, Gilbert
This item requires a subscription to International Relations of the Asia-Pacific Online. Chinese views of Japan, both official and popular, grew more negative after the end of the cold war. From 1989 to 1993 the Japanese side bears much of the blame for failing to overcome the distrust of the Chinese people. When the major deterioration in Japan\'s image occurred from 1994 to 1998, however, it was China's leadership that was chiefly responsible, arousing nationalist emotions. When China\'s leaders sought to reverse this process from 1999 to 2001 they were unsuccessful both because of the intensity of public emotions and the lack of reassurance from the Japanese leadership and public. Divisions inside China reveal the hesitation of leaders to foster a realistic image of Japan. By tracing the content of changing Chinese perceptions, we can observe the effects of overconfidence and insensitivity in each state and recognize the difficulty at times of uncertain national identity of finding a coordinated strategy for expanding mutual trust.

China's Minorities: The Case of Xinjiang and the Uyghur People
,
Gladney, Dru C.
This report by renowned University of Hawai'i at Manoa Professor Dru C. Gladney for the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights analyzes the likelihood that Uyghur separatism in Xinjiang will lead to a weakened or collapsed China. Gladney's findings are that such a scenario is unlikely, for the following reasons: China's economic success has made Xinjiang too dependent upon Beijing; Uyghur Muslims are just as likely to quarrel with other ethinic minorities, including other Muslim groups, as they are with Beijing; Xinjiang does not appear to have the capabilities, in terms of economic structure or a power-base, to transition successfully from a Chinese province to a successful, independent state.

China's Muslim Separatists: Terrorists or Terrorized?
,
Nankivell, Nathan
With a brief overview of the unrest between the ethnic Uygar minority's separatist Muslim movement in Xinjiang and Beijing, this article addresses current concerns in building a peaceful relationship between the two parties. Beijing views Xinjiang as a resource goldmine, with some of the largest oil and gas reserves in China. Beijing also sees its Muslim population as a threat, susceptible to terrorist separatist movements from neighboring minorities and Muslims in Western China and Central Asia, claiming that numerous Xinjiang Uygurs have trained with the mujaheddin in Pakistan. Meanwhile, human rights activists say that numerous Uygurs have suffered unjust discrimination, abuse, arrests, and even deaths at the hands of the dominant Han Chinese majority and their government officials.

China's New Journey to the West
,
Gill, Bates; Oresman,Matthew
One of the most intriguing developments in Central Asia over the past decade has been China\'s renewed attention to diplomacy in the region. China\'s interest in building relations with Central Asia is not startling given its history, but the agility and creativity it has recently exercised in doing so has taken many by surprise. China has moved rapidly from the difficult task of delineating and disarming its borders with Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan to building a multilateral organization and growing economic and security ties, all the while working to alleviate traditional suspicions among Central Asian states about the Chinese government\'s true intentions.This report argues that China\'s prominence in Central Asia will grow over the next decade, particularly if Russia\'s position continues to wane and the strategic attention of the United States is drawn elsewhere in the years ahead. However, on the basis of geography and economic reality alone, China appears well placed to expand its influence in the region over the long haul. Central Asian states will continue to seek robust engagement with China as their transportation infrastructure and developing economies become more intertwined, and China will likely continue to exercise a light touch with its diplomacy to assure stable, productive relations along its interior frontiers, dispelling fears that it is seeking regional hegemony

China's Recent Approach To Asia: Seeking Long Term Gains
,
Sutter, Robert
Robert Sutter, professor of Asian studies at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, analyzes the domestic motivations behind China's Asia policy and security framework. Although China's efforts to engage its Asian neighbors are often characterized as a response to perceived U.S. containment, Dr. Sutter argues that China's goals are more calculated and long term. At a time of economic and political transition, he maintains, China seeks to secure its foreign policy environment, promote economic exchanges that benefit its internal development, calm regional fears about its rising power and national intentions, and boost its regional and international power and influence. In these efforts, China has made considerable progress toward improving relations with most of its Asian neighbors. Nevertheless, these countries remain cautious about China's intentions as a rising power, and they continue to look to the United States as a desirable economic and security partner. As U.S. policymakers consider China policy, they must keep in mind that America's presence in Asia, especially in Central and South Asia, will largely determine whether current trends move in the direction of increased U.S. influence in the region or whether China will reassert its pre-September 11 efforts to restrict the U.S. presence in the region.

China-India Relations Since Pokhran II: Assessing Sources of Conflict and Cooperation
,
Frazier, Mark W.
This article assesses recent changes in bilateral relations between China and India following the South Asian nuclear tests of May 1998. As states, China and India share a number of similar problems and challenges, yet their bilateral relationship is one that remains fairly understudied by scholars and policy analysts. This gap in the literature is quickly being filled with new studies on Sino-Indian relations. This article first discusses China's fairly restrained reaction to India's nuclear tests and developments in Sino-Indian relations since 1998. It then examines several recent studies of various facets of the bilateral relationship. A number of institutional features particular to the foreign policy-making communities in China and India are identified as possible sources for the conduct of Sino-Indian relations and prospects for their future development analyzed. Among the most significant of these features is the degree of foreign policy conflict and consensus between civilian and military officials within each country.

China: 21st Century Superpower
,
York University
China's relationship with the outside world has been one of the dominant themes in its development. How is China moving from its position of isolation to become a 21st century superpower? We focus on the post-1949 period, in particular, the Sino-Soviet relationship; American-China relations; China and Japan; China and India; Canadian-China policy; China's relations with Taiwan and Hong Kong; and China's integration into the global economy. A significant portion of the course will focus on the China trade and on key issues involved in doing business in China.

Chine-U.S. Cooperation: Will It Last?
,
Jia, Qingguo
The September terrorist attacks in the U.S. led to increased cooperation between the U.S. and Chinese governments against international terrorism. Dr. Jia will address the question of whether this is a marriage of convenience or a development of sustainable cooperation. Dr. Jia will argue that after twenty years of sweeping changes in China, the fundamental issue between China and the U.S. lies less in their substantive differences (economic, political, ideological and cultural) than in their differences in priorities. Dr. Jia will propose that Beijing and Washington can serve their best interests if the current emerging cooperative relationship is managed properly.

Chinese Cultural Revolution
,
University of Pennsylvania
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution can be seen as the culmination of Maoist idealism, with faith in Chairman Mao and in human capacity for self-improvement reaching the level of religious mania. At the same time, the Cultural Revolution developed the most vicious and dishonest aspects of the Maoist regime to their logical extreme. The revolution turned on and devoured its own true believers, the best people it had-and the lies that justified such violence became too absurd to be believed by anyone for long. As a result, the Chinese Communist Party today must reckon with a complete lack of faith in socialism on the part of the people whose support it seeks.How do we make sense of this paradoxical period of recent Chinese history? In search of the truth, we will read a variety of memoirs, propaganda literature, and scholarly analyses.

Dangerous Meditation: China's Campaign Against Falungong
,
Human Rights Watch
This article is available for purchase online for $10.00.
Quoted from Human Rights Watch: "The Chinese government is using new laws and new interpretations of old laws to crack down on the Falungong, Human Rights Watch says in this report. today. Falungong members have been classified with Tibetan and Uighur 'splittists' and unauthorized religious groups as a major threat to the Communist Party, Human Rights Watch said. This 117-page report, Dangerous Meditation: China's Campaign Against Falungong, analyzes why and how the Chinese government embarked on a plan to eradicate the group it terms an 'evil cult.' In recent documents, the Chinese government has suggested that Falungong is a terrorist organization. The new report traces the evolution of the Chinese government's crackdown, starting with the July 1999 ban on the hierarchically-organized meditation group, which now boasts millions of members worldwide. From the initial ban, the government moved on to prohibit practicing the group's exercises in public, and to confiscate and destroy hundreds of thousands of copies of its publications."

Dangerous Minds: Political Psychiatry in China Today and its Origins in the Mao Era
,
Munro, Robin
Quoted from Human Rights Watch: "The Chinese government should immediately release anyone held in institutions for the mentally ill based on a politically motivated diagnosis, Human Rights Watch and the Geneva Initiative on Psychiatry said in this report. The government should also end the longstanding practice of using psychiatric incarceration for political ends. In the 298-page report, Dangerous Minds: Political Psychiatry in China Today and its Origins in the Mao Era, Human Rights Watch and the Geneva Initiative on Psychiatry, a Netherlands-based international foundation, compare the treatment of dissidents in mental asylums to similar abuses in the former Soviet Union. The sentencing of political dissidents to special psychiatric hospitals on the basis of false diagnoses led to the forced withdrawal of the Soviet Union from the WPA in 1983 and it was not readmitted until 1989, after the Gorbachev reforms had brought an end to systematic political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union."

Democratization in the Greater China Region
,
Pei, Minxin
In this essay, Professor Minxin Pei examines the main findings on the causes and progress of democratization in Greater China. The difference stages in the process of democratization have tremendous implications for relations among China, Taiwan and the United States. The author identifies four areas of political liberalization in Mainland China that are likely to stimulate further democratic reforms: (1) the rapid growth of civic organizations with at least some independence from the state; (2) increased institutional identity and autonomy of the National People's Congress; (3) progress in legal reform; and (4) direct election of village leaders.
