Abstract: China is one of a few communist countries to survive into the twenty-first century. The Chinese economy was on the verge of collapse in the 1970s mainly because of failures of the planned economy. After Mao Zedong’s death, China began to depart the classic Maoism and combined its political power with market forces to develop its economy, so-called the socialist road with Chinese characteristics. This Chinese development model has created the world’s fastest-growing economy and enormous global political influence. However, China’s high-speed economic growth began to decelerate in 2011 and will possibly continue to fall for years to come. Meanwhile, China faces great challenges from the mainstream of the international society. Is the China model losing power? Why? It is important especially for developed countries to address the questions in order to work with the rising power China and handle their domestic issues. This talk will discuss the domestic and international dimensions of the China model and present different perspectives to generate further discussion on the questions.

OPEN TO ALL

Abstract: Rapidly changing audience, audience habits and consumption patterns pose major challenges for all traditional media outfits. Market forces and changing audience aside, international media, especially traditionally public-funded international Chinese language media face its own unique set of challenges such as a political, cultural and commercial sensitivity, as well as blockage and market entry difficulties in Mainland China. How does an international Chinese media institution adapt and stay relevant in the digital world? In this presentation, the Editor-in-Chief of BBC Chinese Service Howard Zhang will share some of his observations and practical experiences on how the BBC as a whole as well as BBC’s Chinese language service are adapting to the digital world.

Abstract: The first sentence of Chinese classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms says, “This world will separate after long time united. Also, will do the opposite after long time splitting.” Today’s world surfs too much separation: populism, nationalism and extremism…How to achieve unity in diversity? The Belt and Road Initiative and Community of Shared Future for Humankind as two coins of one silver of Chinese traditional he/he (和合, harmony) culture, were put forwarded by Chinese president Xi Jinping in recent years, to go beyond the European approach of high-standard (rigid uniformity; sovereignty transferring), US approach of exclusiveness and modern Human centered doctrine while seeking common or shared values of all nations, NGOs, etc. There are three dimensions to understand Community of Shared Future for Humankind: historically, activating shared traditions of lasting peace, common security; Presently, shaping common prosperity and open/ inclusive international system; in the future, building a green and sustainable world, seeking global dynamic consensus in AI revolution and global commons. The Community of Shared Future for Humankind is also rebuilding Chinese Communist Party from revolution to construction, from internationalism to globalism.

Abstract: Across the globe, many countries are experiencing rapidly growing need for public provision of long-term care services. Compared to developed countries such as Germany and the U.S., this challenge is particularly acute in China where the demographic shifts are occurring at a faster rate and the capacity for family to provide long-term care (LTC) is declining much more rapidly. Incorporating market mechanism into public provision of long-term care (LTC) is part of a global trend featuring the liberalization of policies and politics during the past four decades. From a political-economic perspective, this presentation examines how the market mechanism has been used in the delivery of public long-term care service in Germany, the U.S. and China. It also examines the lessons that China has learned and can further learn from the German and American experiences, as it charts its path forward to develop a full-fledged “Elder Care System with Chinese Characteristics.”

Abstract: Based on one of the authors’ experiences in social scientific studies on China in the UK for more than two decades, we assert that Chinese social sciences have not been accorded their rightful prominence in general social science studies. This paper will introduce Chinese social sciences, discussing their institutions, resources and methodology, and explain why we are keen to promote the globalisation of Chinese social sciences. It will then demonstrate a case of literature search on the keywords ‘Chinese civilisation’ and ‘comparison’, comparing the CNKI database and some digital libraries in the West.

Abstract: China’s social credit system has provoked a great deal of horror in the international media. There have been numerous reports complaining that by keeping close track on its citizens using big data, China is using a ‘Big Brother’ form of coercion and control. Many foreign journalists have suggested it is a dystopian human rights violation. Is this is a fair assessments of the social credit system? What does the Chinese government see as its goals and is there much resistance among ordinary citizens? In this presentation, the Editor of Asian Affairs Duncan Bartlett will provide an overview of social credit and examine how it has been perceived in the Chinese and foreign media.

Abstract: Released on 2 March 2018 in tandem with the ‘Two Sessions’, Amazing China (厉害了，我的国 dir. Wei Tie, 2018, in Mandarin, 90 min.) has become the highest grossing documentary film in China to date. How can a documentary with explicit political messages about China’s achievements under Xi’s leadership become a blockbuster? What can we learn about China’s screen industries in relation to the state and the market? Does this case exemplify a ‘paradigm shift’ in the way how the Chinese government conducts its political communication for domestic and transnational Chinese-speaking audiences? Through critical analysis of some textual features and contextual factors that contribute to the commercial success of the film, I argue that the film showcases the commercialisation and industrialisation of Chinese government’s political communication strategies. The film’s commercial success lies in the active involvement of the state in commercial screen industries; and the popularity of the film can be attributed to its successful mobilisation of an affect of optimism. For individuals, this optimism can both be empowering and precarious, and sometimes even ‘cruel’ in the words of Laurent Berlant (2011): as it brings confidence and pride to imagine oneself as part of an unfolding history and an emerging global power; it also reinforces the insignificance and even venerability of the self in such a narrative.

Besides highlights on publishing Chinese academic literature, CNKI undertakes a national project of “Journal Translations Project”, which is in alliance with hundreds of publishing house in China to publish the translated top journals in China according to the rank of their international impact.
