In the first decade of the twenty-first century, traditional Confucian education re-emerged in China in the context of so-called study halls and academies. The goal of the parents, teachers, and headmasters associated with them is to cultivate modern virtuous persons through an approach called “classics-reading education.” Even though they allude to deep historical roots, these contemporary facilities are novel (re)creations, developed in response to current needs. This article examines the classics-reading movement under the theoretical lens of infrastructures of memory to illustrate the roles of memory and the perception of the past in the current making of “traditional” education and educational sites. Memories of and references to the past inform people's visions of a better future that is to be achieved through their tradition-related educational practices. Making a connection with the past through memory aims at stability in the face of future uncertainty.
在21世纪的第一个十年,传统的儒家教育在所谓的自习室和书院的背景下重新出现在中国。与他们相关的家长、教师和校长的目标是通过一种被称为“经典阅读教育”的方法培养现代道德人。尽管它们暗示着深刻的历史根源,但这些当代设施是新颖的(再)创造,是为了响应当前的需求而开发的。本文在记忆基础结构的理论视角下考察了经典阅读运动,以说明记忆和对过去的感知在“传统”教育和教育场所的当前制作中的作用。对过去的回忆和参考使人们对通过与传统有关的教育实践实现的更美好未来有了憧憬。通过记忆与过去建立联系的目的是在面对未来的不确定性时保持稳定。

Hong Kong's distinct system, as a Special Administrative Region within the People's Republic of China, makes it an interesting case when examining the notion of citizenship, and how it shapes and is shaped by the education system. This article examines the existing literature at this important point in the territory's development. This review contains important lessons not only for the study of citizenship in Hong Kong, but also for how regional identity and citizenship can be shaped by the historical, social, and political forces. Finally, this article will present some of the gaps, which have been identified by scholars in the field.
香港作为中华人民共和国的一个特别行政区,其独特的制度使它成为一个有趣的案例,当我们审视公民身份的概念,以及它如何塑造和被教育制度所塑造。本文考察了在这一领土发展的重要时刻的现有文献。这篇回顾不仅为研究香港公民身份提供了重要的经验教训,也为研究历史、社会和政治力量如何塑造地区认同和公民身份提供了重要的经验教训。最后,本文将介绍一些已经被该领域的学者发现的差距。

Mask Diplomacy? Understanding China's Goals in Delivering Medical Aid in the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic 面具外交?了解中国在新冠肺炎疫情第一波医疗援助中的目标

In the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, China provided medical assistance on an unprecedented scale. While some observers have underscored the strategic purposes of China's COVID-19 aid, referred to as “mask diplomacy,” they have yet to assess this argument against empirical evidence. We seek to examine whether China's medical aid was used as a strategic tool, or it remained reactionary and fragmented, by combining a new dataset on the global distribution of Chinese in-kind medical aid with a qualitative analysis of government and news reports during the first wave of the pandemic. Our findings show that although COVID-19 aid did have the potential to strengthen China's influence over recipients and promote Chinese knowledge of health governance, Chinese policymakers were underprepared to use aid strategically during the pandemic. The reactionary and fragmented nature of China's COVID-19 aid was reflected in its allocation, its policy-making processes, and its implementation.
在新冠肺炎第一波疫情中,中国提供了规模空前的医疗援助。虽然一些观察人士强调了中国援助新冠肺炎的战略目的,被称为“面具外交”,但他们尚未根据经验证据对这一论点进行评估。我们试图通过将中国实物医疗援助的全球分布的新数据集与对第一波疫情期间政府和新闻报道的定性分析相结合,来检验中国的医疗援助是被用作战略工具,还是仍然是反动和分散的。我们的研究结果表明,尽管COVID-19援助确实有可能加强中国对受援国的影响力,并促进中国对卫生治理的了解,但中国政策制定者在大流行期间没有准备好战略性地使用援助。中国抗疫援助的反动性和碎片性反映在资金分配、决策过程和实施过程中。

Why There Has Been No Anti-Regime Movement on College Campus in China for Three Decades? A Survey Study at Thirty-Five Universities (2015–2018) and Its Implications 为什么30年来中国大学校园没有反政权运动?35所高校调查研究(2015-2018)及其启示

Since the suppression of the student movement in 1989, there has not been any anti-regime or pro-democracy student movement for over three decades in China. What does this suggest? Apart from the known strengthened campus control by the authority which might have forestalled it to some extent, are there alternative reasons? Has the government drawn lessons from the past and since improved its governance, thus effectively enervated student motives to challenge the government? In order to demystify what is behind, the researchers conducted an extensive survey at over thirty-five universities across China from 2015 through 2018. Through analysing the 1,859 valid responses received, the study found that current college students give a high approval rating to the status quo of the country, and they also hold strong optimism for the future. This result may indicate that there is no strong incentive for them, like the generation of the students in the 1980s, to push forward any dramatic political, economic and social changes. The West may need to take this prospect into consideration in their interactions with China, which may enjoy a long period of relative stability without political challenges from college students in the foreseeable future.
自1989年学生运动被镇压以来,三十多年来,中国没有发生过任何反政权或民主的学生运动。这说明了什么?除了已知的当局加强了校园控制,这可能在某种程度上阻止了它,还有其他原因吗?政府是否吸取了过去的教训并改进了治理,从而有效地削弱了学生挑战政府的动机?为了揭开背后的神秘面纱,研究人员从2015年到2018年在中国35所大学进行了广泛的调查。通过对收到的1859份有效回复的分析,研究发现,当前的大学生对国家的现状给予了很高的认可,他们对未来也持强烈的乐观态度。这一结果可能表明,他们没有强大的动力,像80年代的学生那样,推动任何戏剧性的政治、经济和社会变革。在与中国的交往中,西方可能需要考虑到这一前景,在可预见的未来,中国可能会享受一段长时间的相对稳定,而不会受到大学生的政治挑战。

State Institutions as Building Blocks of China's Infrastructures of Memory – The Case of Intangible Heritage 国家机构作为中国记忆基础设施的组成部分——以非物质遗产为例

The past is continuously reinterpreted to serve the interests of the present. Over the last two centuries of turbulent Chinese history, the past has been redefined through narratives and categorisations. How does the party-state manage the diversity and complexity of China's past, and what implications does this have for state–society relations in China? Based on a case study of China's adoption of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention, this article argues that the Chinese party-state creates “infrastructures of memory,” which enable it to actively manage China's diverse past through selective institutionalisation. This process creates a “cognitive map” of tangible and rationalised relations and boundaries between vernacular memories as interpreted by the state. Although this map is to shape and direct Chinese collective memory and identity, it also sparks contestation among members of the populace who seek to preserve vernacular and multiple memories of their socio-cultural past.
过去不断被重新解释,以服务于现在的利益。在过去两个世纪动荡的中国历史中,过去通过叙事和分类被重新定义。党国如何管理中国过去的多样性和复杂性,这对中国的国家-社会关系有什么影响?本文以中国加入《非物质文化遗产公约》为例,认为中国党国政府创造了“记忆的基础设施”,使其能够通过选择性的制度化来积极管理中国多样化的过去。这个过程创造了一个“认知地图”,在国家解释的本土记忆之间建立了有形的、合理的关系和边界。虽然这张地图是为了塑造和引导中国人的集体记忆和身份认同,但它也引发了民众之间的争论,他们寻求保留自己过去社会文化的白话和多重记忆。

Unpacking “the West”: Divergence and Asymmetry in Chinese Public Attitudes Towards Europe and the United States 拆解“西方”:中国公众对欧美态度的分歧与不对称

Recent public opinion polls conducted in Europe and the United States show increasingly negative views of China. Does the Chinese public hold similar views of “the West”? Conducting a two-wave survey in China, we found great divergence and asymmetries in Chinese public perceptions. First, Chinese views of European countries and the US diverge sharply, despite these countries being typically grouped together as “the West” in mainstream English and Chinese discourses; the Chinese viewed the US much more negatively than Europe. Second, whereas the Chinese reciprocated American antipathy, there was an asymmetry in public perceptions between China and Europe, with the Chinese expressing much greater favourability towards European countries than the other way around, though the degree of favourability still varied by country. Analyses of respondent attributes also yielded insights that both confirm and challenge some of the conventional wisdom regarding age, education, and party membership in Chinese public opinion.
最近在欧洲和美国进行的民意调查显示,对中国的负面看法越来越多。中国公众对“西方”是否也持有类似的看法?我们在中国进行了两波调查,发现中国公众的看法存在很大的分歧和不对称。首先,中国人对欧洲国家和美国的看法大相径庭,尽管这些国家在主流英语和汉语话语中通常被归为“西方”;中国人对美国的看法比欧洲负面得多。其次,尽管中国回应了美国的反感,但中国和欧洲之间的公众看法存在不对称,中国人对欧洲国家的好感程度远高于欧洲国家,尽管好感程度仍因国家而异。对受访者属性的分析也产生了一些见解,这些见解既证实又挑战了中国公众舆论中有关年龄、教育程度和党员身份的一些传统观点。

The Role of Moral Foundations and Attitudinal Motivations in the Chinese's Support for China’s Vaccine Diplomacy During the COVID-19 Pandemic 新冠肺炎疫情期间中国人支持中国疫苗外交的道德基础和态度动机

During the COVID-19 pandemic, China has been the leading exporter and donor of COVID-19 vaccines in the world. Based on a survey of 460 Chinese participants conducted in mainland China in March 2021, the results showed that the participants’ value-expressive attitudes (i.e. their responsibility to help) and esteem attitudes (i.e. China's image and status) were strong predictors of their support for vaccine exports and donations, whereas attitudes related to prevention and a possible vaccine shortage in China were weak predictors. Fairness and ingroup loyalty were the major moral foundations of their support for such international efforts; the influence of fairness and ingroup loyalty was both direct and mediated by value-expressive and esteem attitudes. Collectively, the present results show that support for international efforts can be analysed from a moral, altruistic perspective and thus extend the previous theorising that focused on the transactional nature of international outreach efforts.
在新冠肺炎大流行期间,中国一直是全球最大的新冠肺炎疫苗出口国和捐助国。根据2021年3月在中国大陆对460名中国参与者进行的一项调查,结果显示,参与者的价值表达态度(即他们帮助的责任)和尊重态度(即中国的形象和地位)是他们支持疫苗出口和捐赠的强预测因素,而与预防和中国可能的疫苗短缺有关的态度是弱预测因素。公平和对集团的忠诚是他们支持这种国际努力的主要道德基础;价值表达态度和尊重态度对公平和群体忠诚有直接和中介的影响。总的来说,目前的结果表明,对国际努力的支持可以从道德、利他的角度来分析,从而扩展了以前的理论,即关注国际推广工作的交易性质。

From Frame of Steel to Iron Cage: The Chinese Communist Party and China's Voluntary Sector 从钢架到铁笼:中国共产党与中国志愿部门
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.1177/18681026221142224

As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) celebrated its centenary, its expanding role in penetrating, regulating, and reshaping social organisations (社会组织, shehui zuzhi) seemed to signal a decisive shift in not only the arrangement, but also the balance, of power between the state, the voluntary sector, and the party in favour of the latter. Beginning with the recent reform “decoupling” professional associations and chambers of commerce (行业协会商会, hangye xiehui shanghui) from state management, which has been cited in official documents as a model for “separating the state from society” and an initial step in further reducing the state management in other realms of activity, this article considers broad trends in the CCP's historical relationship with social organisations, particularly alongside its shifting relationship with the state apparatus after 1949, over time. Working through both the CCP's governing practice of “documentary politics” and, more recently, initiatives to expand “rule by law” under Xi, I argue that the party has vastly increased its power, presence, and control over both as it marked its centenary, albeit at times donning the mask of the state to do so. I conclude that the party's continued advance under Xi is occurring at the expense of both the autonomy of the state administration and that of social forces.
在中国共产党庆祝其成立一百周年之际,它在渗透、调节和重塑社会组织方面不断扩大的作用似乎标志着一个决定性的转变,不仅是在安排上,而且是在国家、志愿部门和党之间的权力平衡上,都发生了有利于后者的转变。从最近的改革开始,将专业协会和商会与国家管理“脱钩”,这在官方文件中被引用为“国家与社会分离”的模式,也是进一步减少其他活动领域的国家管理的第一步,本文考虑了中共与社会组织的历史关系的广泛趋势。特别是随着时间的推移,1949年之后,它与国家机器的关系发生了变化。

Organisation and (Lack of) Democracy in the Chinese Communist Party: A Critical Reading of the Successive Iterations of the Party Constitution 中国共产党的组织与(缺乏)民主:对党章连续修订的批判性解读
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-12-01 DOI: 10.1177/18681026221117287
Jean-Pierre Cabestan
There has always been a lack of democratic life in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Former CCP Secretary General Hu Jintao attempted in the first decade of the twenty-first century to promote reform, including a revision of the party constitution, aimed at enhancing “intra-party democracy” (党内民主, dangnei minzhu). However, Xi Jinping has put on hold this plan, fully restoring the verticality of the institution where it may have been weakened. This article has three objectives. First, it compares the successive versions or iterations of the CCP constitution in the last 100 years and analyses all the changes related to democratic centralism, elections, and democracy that have been introduced. Then, it assesses Hu's reforms and their failure. Finally, it explains why the CCP cannot reform and democratise as long as it remains a party-state and China remains a one-party system.
中国共产党内部一直缺乏民主生活。本文有三个目的。首先,它比较了过去100年中共宪法的连续版本或迭代,并分析了所有与民主集中制、选举和民主有关的变化。然后,它评估了胡的改革及其失败。最后,它解释了为什么只要中共仍然是一个党国,中国仍然是一党制,中共就不能改革和民主化。

Former CCP Secretary General Hu Jintao attempted in the first decade of the twenty-first century to promote reform, including a revision of the party constitution, aimed at enhancing “intra-party democracy” (党内民主, dangnei minzhu). However, Xi Jinping has put on hold this plan, fully restoring the verticality of the institution where it may have been weakened. This article has three objectives. First, it compares the successive versions or iterations of the CCP constitution in the last 100 years and analyses all the changes related to democratic centralism, elections, and democracy that have been introduced. Then, it assesses Hu's reforms and their failure. Finally, it explains why the CCP cannot reform and democratise as long as it remains a party-state and China remains a one-party system.","PeriodicalId":37907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Chinese Affairs","volume":"56 1","pages":"364 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76843150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By tracing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 100 years, this special issue brings to light the organisation's contradictions, setbacks, and changes in direction, together with its long-term evolution. Taking a step back from the current focus on the historical juncture of the twentieth CCP Congress, and on Xi Jinping himself, our long-term approach contextualises recent developments. Looking at the CCP's evolution over time shows how the founding structures and objectives of the CCP have had a long-lasting impact on its future developments as well as how they have been tweaked and rearranged to adapt to the new economic and social environment the party contributed to creating. Our long-term historical approach stresses impermanence beyond the apparent permanence of the party's concepts (e.g. “loyalty” and “democratic centralism”), discursive tactics (e.g. the mobilisation of emotions) and on-the-ground practices (e.g. grassroots party building), while also bringing to light the mere recycling of past practices and strategies.
本期特刊通过追溯中国共产党成立100年的历程,揭示了中国共产党的矛盾、挫折和方向的变化,以及中国共产党的长期演变。回顾中国共产党随着时间的演变,我们可以看到,中国共产党的成立结构和目标如何对其未来的发展产生了持久的影响,以及它们如何被调整和重新安排,以适应党所创造的新的经济和社会环境。我们的长期历史研究方法强调了党的概念(如“忠诚”和“民主集中制”)、话语策略(如情绪动员)和实地实践(如基层党建)的表面持久性之外的无常,同时也揭示了过去实践和战略的纯粹循环。
