- AGI Lecture - Reading China’s Future by Reading the Past: How China-West Relations are Being Shaped Today by Historical Thinking
In this lecture, Rana Mitter from the Harvard Kennedy School joined Dee Poon from Tessellation Group, as well as Brian Wong from the Department of Philosophy, HKU, to discuss some of the key events from the recent and ancient past and how they continue to shape political thinking and policymaking in China and which should be better understood by its counterparts in the West and beyond.
Mitter delivered an insightful presentation exploring the four major factors that have shaped China's social thought and diplomatic approach. The economic legitimacy, which provides a rationale for China's emphasis on economic development, and it elucidates why both the government and the people exhibit robust support for advancements in science and technology; China's modern history, which explains its vision and unwavering pursuit of leadership in the Global South; The traditional thought of Confucianism, combined with Marxism-Leninism, offers insights into China's selection of social policies and its approach to tackling challenges, such as inequality and social mobility.
In the subsequent panel discussion, Heiwai Tang delved deeper into China's economic policies within the Global South and its strategic approach to collaborating with developing nations. In contrast, Wong offered a philosophical perspective on China's social development since the initiation of the Reform and Opening Up policy. Poon as a business professional, contributed an on-the-ground viewpoint, sharing her experiences navigating geopolitical tensions, deciphering various policies, and striving for sustainability while growing her enterprise.
Interesting with clarity. One drawback is the sound quality. Rana Mitter is amazing and very knowledgeable about China than more Chinese scholars.
You missed the link. Common prosperity is a concept emphasised by Confucianism - social harmony, ethical governance, and equitable distribution of wealth and resources. Confucius was in770 to 476 BC. Ching Imperial dynasty was 1744 to 1912 way off in your history. need to go further back for Chinese and Asian phyic
China is going to have a renaissance. China needs a renaissance. China needs to bring the rich traditional culture up to date, making the traditional culture relevant to modern life. In the last century and half, China has been absorbing the culture of the West. That makes China culturally very rich. That also requires China to integrate the different elements into new whole. China needs to examine its history with a new viewpoint. China needs to develop or adapt many disciplines, like sociology and anthropology to tell its own story.
He's British as far as I can tell.
