Webinar Transcript — Chinese Diaspora in the Modern World
China Reconnects
"The book shows how the Chinese are now confident of their capacity to learn all they need from the developed world and are keen to know which parts of the past they would need to build a modern Chinese civilization. They are very conscious of the challenges coming from the United States, and are looking for ways and means to respond to a superpower that wants to preserve its dominant position in the international status quo. The book seeks to ex…
Global History and Migrations
Migration History
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on what migration history had contributed to one's understanding, and possibly the actual shaping, of global history. It discusses the role of the nation-state in determining patterns of migration. The book deals the global and the regional in illuminating ways. It highlights how the total past of migration patterns for o…
Silk roads and the centrality of Old World Eurasia
The Chinese have been changing throughout their history. The China before the Qin–Han unification was quite different from imperial China. After the fall of the Han dynasty, what was “China” went through a very turbulent period of three centuries. The Chinese economy declined rapidly after 1840. The Deng Xiaoping era saw the use of economic weapons to ensure development and create the platform for the wealth and power that Chinese would need to f…
Dear China
Qiaopi is the name given to the “silver letters” Chinese emigrants sent home in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These letters-cum-remittances, which were entered into UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in 2013, document the changing history of the Chinese diaspora in different parts of the world and in different periods, as well as its linkages to China. The qiaopi trade played a big part in making China transnational. This book, the f…
A Note on the Origins of Hua-Ch’iao
All over Southeast Asia, the term hua-ch&s;iao has been dropped except for those Chinese who are citizens of either the People&s;s Republic of China or the Republic of China in Taiwan. The Peking government has been carefully distinguishing between its citizens abroad who are hua-ch&s;iao and others who are merely &s;foreign nationals of Chinese origin&s;. The use of ch&s;iao to describe Chinese away from home, therefore, retained the sense of te…
Lee Kuan Yew through the eyes of Chinese scholars
A compilation of essays by highly-respected Chinese scholars in which they evaluate the life, work and philosophy of Lee Kuan Yew, founding Prime Minister of Singapore. Presenting a range of views from a uniquely Chinese/Asian perspective, this book provides valuable insights for those who wish to gain a fuller and deeper understanding of Lee Kuan Yew, the man, as well as Singapore, his nation
Keynote Address - Southeast Asia
A celebratory conference of this kind should allow the keynote lecture to be \nsomewhat more personal than normal. It is with that in mind that I have linked \nthe theme, 'Southeast Asia: Past, Present and Future', to the person whose \nbirthday we are celebrating. I do not know if I can do that successfully but \nwill try by pursuing some of Nick's [Nicholas Tarling] and my own life and \nprofessional experiences with imperial themes in Southeas…
Global History
World history today has been greatly influenced by the fact that it was the revolution in naval power during the past two centuries that made the world truly global. This has led to a new master narrative that re-framed five millennia of recorded history in order to explain the ultimate triumph of the maritime economies. The result of such revision is to underestimate and distort the role of continental Eurasia in the shaping of the three key civ…

Student movements
For the past three decades, student movements in most countries in the world have been beaten back, but there are signs that some may be returning. In response to the Arab Spring, students participated fully in Tahrir Square and beyond. The student elections in Egypt that followed, however, seem to have been divided according to the various links that each student group had with the political groups contending for state power, like the Muslim Bro…

Thoughts on Four Subversive Words
The words empire, civilization, anthropology and China are rarely seen together. In addition, all four words are actually foreign to the Chinese language. However, when they are juxtaposed, they point to exceptional Chinese experiences with the research field and suggest that these can lead to a new understanding of what anthropology can do to illuminate ancient and modern relationships. In particular, areas between the emperor-state that shaped …
Chinese Circulations
Palembang, "Jawa," "Samudera," Sunda, Patani, and Annam.Hamashita's essay examines the role of the Ryukyu tributary trade network with Fujian merchants' networks in East and Southeast Asia, concentrating particularly on the pepper and sappanwood trades.18In many ways, it is a specific commodity history of the South China Sea in miniature.Li Tana then picks up the precolonial thread in her essay, "Cochinchinese Coin Casting and Circulating in Eigh…
Introduction
The region of the East and South China Seas is often studied either from a regional or from a colonial perspective. This chapter argues that different patterns of trading and power relations formed overlays that changed slowly over the centuries and influenced each other. Thus understanding the changes of 1839 and after requires a long-term perspective. Such a perspective is possible through the Lidai baoan, a compilation of manuscripts written i…
Chinese Circulations
Chinese merchants have traded with Southeast Asia for centuries, sojourning and sometimes settling, during their voyages. These ventures have taken place by land and by sea, over mountains and across deserts, linking China with vast stretches of Southeast Asia in a broad, mercantile embrace. Chinese Circulations provides an unprecedented overview of this trade, its scope, diversity, and complexity. This collection of twenty groundbreaking essays …
Connecting Seas and Connected Ocean Rims
Long-distance migration of peoples have been a central if little understood factor in global integration. The essays in this collection contribute to a new history of world migrations, written by specialists of particular areas of the world. Collectively these essays point towards a shift from the regional migrations of individual seas and oceans of the early modern era toward nineteenth-century labor migrations that connected the Pacific and Ind…
Chairperson’s Note
Wang Gungwu
This book of interviews with Professor Wang Gungwu, published to felicitate him on his 80th birthday in 2010, seeks to convey to a general audience something of the life, times and thoughts of a leading historian, Southeast Asianist, Sinologist and public intellectual. The interviews flesh out Professor Wang’s views on being Chinese in Malaya; his experience of living and working in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia; the Vietnam War; Hong Kong an…
Party and Nation in Southeast Asia
When feudal kingdoms in Europe recognized that the people within their borders shared enough of culture and history to be organized as separate nations, political parties became increasingly important. These parties represented different interest groups, but were committed to making their nations richer, stronger and better integrated. That model was brought to other parts of the world following the retreat of imperial powers like Britain, France…
Chinese history paradigms
Chinese people have had a strong bond with a long continuous history that has shaped their identity as Chinese. The opening to the outside world during the last century has exposed them to different kinds of histories. Within China, the threats to their civilisation and the possibility of national history have led to many revisions of the Chinese past. Those who have lived outside China have faced alternative historical representations. How will …
The Cambridge Companion to Modern Chinese Culture
At the start of the twenty-first century, China is poised to become a major global power. Understanding its culture is more important than ever before for western audiences, but for many, China remains a mysterious and exotic country. This Companion explains key aspects of modern Chinese culture without assuming prior knowledge of China or the Chinese language. The volume acknowledges the interconnected nature of the different cultural forms, fro…

External China as a New Policy Area
T HIS ESSAY SEEKS TO SHOW that some recent developments in the People's Republic of China mark the emergence of a new policy area that may be called External China (Waihua Zhengce).' This policy area would focus mainly on people outside the P.R.C. who are Chinese nationals of one kind or another as well as those people within China who are related to, and are identified with, ethnic Chinese outside China. This means that it is not simply about fo…

Nation Building
The book addresses questions such as: how should historians treat the earlier pasts of each country and the nationalism that guided the nation-building tasks? Where did political culture come in, especially when dealing with modern challenges of class, secularism and ethnicity? What part do external or regional pressures play when the nations are still being built? The authors have thought deeply about the issues of writing nation-building histor…

Within and Without
Thousands of Chinese outside China have been writing in Chinese and other languages since the past century. Some wrote merely to record their personal experiences. Others wrote to express their thoughts and feelings. We are beginning to have some idea of the aspirations and limitations of these writers and their struggles to define their place in their respective communities and countries, and in the larger world of literature. Each writer is a S…

Southeast Asian Hua-Ch'iao in Chinese History-Writing
The number of scholarly books and articles on the Chinese in Southeast Asia has increased so rapidly during this century that it would be useful to examine some of the trends in writing and put the results into some historical perspective. For example, there have been the early writings by Chinese in China and by various colonial officials of the region; then came writings by Southeast Asian Chinese themselves, whether in Chinese or in some local…
May Fourth and the GPCR
T Wo RECENT EVENTS are forceful reminders China is the only country in the world has experienced two revolutions this century. first is the sustained campaign by the present leaders in the People's Republic of China to convince everyone the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (GPCR) of 1966-76 was gross mistake. second is the publication of series of articles in China in 1978-79, identifying the Tienanmen Incident of April 5, 1976 with what had…

Juxtaposing Past and Present in China Today
Ever since the 10th Party Congress in August 1973, what had been a rather quiet anti-Confucian campaign has been combined with a much fiercer anti-Lin Piao campaign to make a very broad onslaught on all who are backward-looking and opportunistic and who seek to “restore capitalism.” In many respects, there is nothing new in this. China has gone through many campaigns since the 1950s and 1960s, and attacking Confucius is something that dates back …

The Question of the “Overseas Chinese”
During the years which saw maximum Chinese withdrawal from international affairs together with maximum United States military commitment to Southeast Asia, the years 1965-71, there was very little journalistic or scholarly interest in the Chinese communities living in Southeast Asia. It was not until after June 1971, when President Nixon announced that he was going to visit Peking, that anxious questions once more began to be regularly asked abou…

China and the Region in Relation to Chinese Minorities
Since the beginning of 1978, following the announcement that a National Conference on Affairs was about to be convened, China has shown a renewed interest in minorities abroad. It may even appear that China now has a new policy on Overseas Chinese, the basis of which had already been outlined and discussed in the controversial editorial in the People's Daily of 4 January 1978. But is this policy really new? Does it show any better understanding o…
