In this presentation, he will discuss the challenges that Chinese universities are facing and the role that the university sector is playing in China’s drive for national economic, technological and research pre-eminence, the evolving political pressures that shape and constrain the development of tertiary education in China, and the extent to which China is willing and able to work with international partners. In addition, he will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of research conducted at Chinese universities and the extent to which US institutions are likely to find opportunities for cooperation in future.
A video screening and panel discussion about the consequences of the U.S. government’s China Initiative and its future under the Biden administration.
On November 1, 2018, Jeff Sessions, then the U.S. Attorney General, announced the China Initiative, a program designed to combat Chinese espionage from “non-traditional” collectors. Many Chinese and Chinese-American researchers feel that the program has placed a target on their back, and that they are being unfairly targeted for their Chinese ethnicity. There are also critics who say the Initiative has done little more than drive talent away from the U.S.
This event will consist of a screening of a video produced by SupChina about the China Initiative and will then be followed by a panel discussion with guest speakers with exclusive insight into the initiative and its impacts.
About the Speakers:
Catherine X. Pan-Giordano is Partner and Corporate Group Head of the New York office at Dorsey, a firm that has represented some of the individuals that have been impacted by the initiative. As the Co-Chair of the U.S.-China practice, she will share some of the pain points the initiative has caused and how there is ample evidence to show many innocent people have been caught in its crosshairs.
James Mulvenon is the Director of Intelligence Integration at SOS International and a Chinese linguist. Dr. Mulvenon will discuss the legitimate threats that Chinese academics pose and point out some of the reasons that the initiative is essential to U.S. security.
This event will be moderated by Bob Guterma, the COO of SupChina and the Executive Producer of the China Initiative video.

Judging from the recent statements of China and the United States, the potential areas for cooperation between the two countries appear to be quite broad. Prospective respects for cooperation encompass but not limited to global public health security, climate change and non-proliferation. At the same time, the cultural exchanges between the two sides, which have gone through four years of twists and turns, also need to be rebooted. Of all the drastic reversals of the Trump policies, the Biden Administration has not changed a single Trump policy toward China.
At present, the priority for the two countries is to share empathy with each other, treat the other as equals, and cautiously manage their differences in a constructive manner. The friendship between China and the United States, in no small part, rests on the people. Therefore, the Carter Center and Intellisia Institute jointly hold a webinar tilted “CAN U.S.– CHINA PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE EXCHANGE STOP THE DANGEROUS SLIDE OF THE BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP?”, bringing a group of practitioners of people-to-people exchange from both countries to deliberate on this important issue.
While offering their views on the decline of government-to-government relationship between the U.S. and China from Presidents Trump to Biden, participants of this online discussion will focus their discussion on past successes, current challenges and future developments of the bilateral people-to-people exchange between the U.S. and China in the area of public health, media, education and think tank. They will share their thoughts on how the people-to-people diplomacy can stabilize and improve the bilateral relationship that has been an anchor for peace and prosperity for both countries, Asia Pacific region and the world in the past four decades.

A Virtual Global Conference
Keynote by Francesca Bray
Roundtable Years of Chinese Food Studies
The world faces daunting challenges today, from political liberalization to economic transformation, and from climate change to public health. The United States, the most developed Western country, and China, the largest emerging power, seem to have chosen different paths forward. Are they heading towards conflict? Can they work together to address pressing global issues? In this new era, innovative and unprecedented technologies are clearly a necessity, not a luxury. What does the future hold for China and the world? In this “China and the World Dialogue,” Professor Zhiqun Zhu and Professor Da Hsuan Feng will expound major challenges facing China and the world.
Special Guest:

Professor Zhu is a member of the National Committee on United States–China Relations and is frequently quoted by international media to comment on East Asian and Chinese affairs.

Anti-Asian prejudice and discrimination has accelerated in the U.S. since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. President Biden and his administration have since vowed to address hate crimes and violence against Asian Americans, and Congress has passed historic legislation aimed at strengthening federal efforts to address such violence.
How can anti-Asian discrimination be understood alongside the struggle of Black and African Americans and other ethnic minorities? How have Asian Americans and Black Americans expressed solidarity against racial discrimination in the past? What does solidarity and allyship look like in the future?
The Carter Center and the Center for American Studies at Fudan University have jointly organized a webinar to address these questions from a uniquely trans-Pacific perspective. We are honored to have Dr. Qin Gao from Columbia University and Dr. Keisha Brown from Tennessee State University as panelists. Discussants from the U.S., China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Singapore will also participate.

2021年6月17日，美国总统拜登签署了国会两院通过的《6月19日独立日法》(Juneteenth National Independence Day Act)，将6月19日定为最新的美国联邦假日，以纪念美国内战（1861-1865）中奴隶制的终结、最后一批奴隶获得解放的日子。奴隶制如何引爆了美国内战？谁在内战中解放了奴隶？获得解放的奴隶为何在（第一次）重建（1863-1877）结束之后丧失了平等的公民地位和权利？他们又如何重新获得平等的公民地位和权利？20世纪50、60年代的民权运动为何被称为是“第二次重建”？本讲座将围绕上述问题展开叙述，勾画黑白美国人在19-20世纪为废除奴隶制和种族歧视而进行的艰苦卓绝的漫长斗争经历，比较两次“重建”的进程与得失，并讨论当前美国种族关系面临的挑战。

At the end of Reconstruction (1863-1877), southern blacks gradually lost their newly acquired rights and status as equal citizens. Being denied the right to vote, placed at the bottom of economic ladder, and subject to state-imposed Jim Crow laws in civic and public life, African Americans were turned into true second-class citizens of the nation. Confronting such suppressive and challenging environment, how did African Americans maintain their faith of regaining the rights? How did they continue to create and nurture antidiscrimination forces, ideologically and constitutionally? How did the changes of domestic and international situations help reshape the nation’s power structures and pave the way for the coming of the Civil Rights Movement? What political and legal resources did the activists of various backgrounds and at different levels use and what strategies did they adopt to advance their courses? How did the legislations of the Civil Rights Movement expand the constitutional principles of the first Reconstruction and how did they affect today’s enjoyment of civil rights by American citizens? The second talk will focus on the causes, processes, and outcomes of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, with a brief discussion on how Asian Americans were related to the movement and how new challenges were posed after America’s “Rights Revolution.”

美国的两次“重建”讲座第二部分——民权运动如何改变了美国？
重建（1863-1877）结束之后，南部黑人逐步丧失了平等的公民地位和权利。他们的选举权被剥夺，经济上处于最底层，在公民和公共生活中受制于州政府强加的种族隔离法，成为了名副其实的二等公民。面对严峻和恶劣的政治环境，非裔美国人是如何保持重获权利的信念的？他们如何积蓄和培养反种族歧视的力量？20世纪早期的国内和国际形势如何改变了美国的权力结构，为民权运动的到来准备了条件？民权运动中，不同背景和层面的积极分子利用了什么政治和法律资源，并采取了哪些斗争的策略？民权运动的立法如何扩展了重建时代的宪政原则，又如何影响了当今美国公民权利的享有？第二次讲座将叙述20世纪50、60年代民权运动的发生、进程与结果，兼论亚裔美国人与民权运动的关系，并讨论“权利革命”之后美国公民权利遭遇的新挑战。
