Surface treatment techniques of ceramic molds for iron casting from the late Warring States period at the ancient capital city site of Zhu state
A collection of ceramic molds for iron casting from the late Warring States period has been unearthed at the ancient capital city site of Zhu (邾) state in Zoucheng City, Shandong Province. An array of analytical techniques was employed to examine their superficial layers and coatings, including wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energ…
The platforming of human embryo editing: Prospecting “disease free” futures
In November 2018, a scientific scandal broke when news emerged that the world’s first gene edited babies had been born in China on the eve of the 2nd International Summit on Human Genome Editing in Hong Kong. He Jiankui had recruited a total of seven couples who were in need of fertility treatment to participate in an effort to clinically apply human embryo editing with the promise that, if successful, their future children would be protected fro…
Resilience building among Chinese family caregivers of older people with Parkinson’s disease in Shanghai
Despite a rapid increase in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) in China, studies focusing on caregiver burden remain scarce. Challenges faced by caregivers in other Asian societies are also underexplored in the PD-related research field. To addresses this gap, this study drew on the theory of resilience and examined the caregiving experiences of Chinese family caregivers for older people with PD. We conducted participant observation and semi-st…
Translating Guān’ài in the People’s War on Drugs: Enacting Relations of Care in China’s State-Run Methadone Maintenance Treatment Program
China’s state-run methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program was launched in 2003 in response to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic and increasing criticism of compulsory rehabilitation centers. In conjunction with providing methadone replacement therapy, the Chinese state began promoting a politicized discourse of guān’ài 关爱 (care and love) as a more effective and humane method for dealing with drug users. While the medicalization of addiction as …
Promises and pitfalls of integrating home-based health services into Shanghai's elder-care system
Faced with the dramatic pace of population ageing, the Shanghai municipal government launched a pilot programme in 2013 designed to address this and to strengthen ageing-in-place arrangements by providing basic in-home medical services for residents above the age of 80. Yet after a two-year trial run, the ‘Home-Based Medical Care Scheme for the Oldest-Old’ (HBMCSOO) policy remained significantly under-utilised despite the increasing demand for me…

The proliferation of stem cell therapies in post-Mao China: Problematizing ethical regulation
Thousands of foreign patients have sought experimental stem cell therapies in China since 2001. Despite critical scrutiny from scientific experts and tightening guidelines on the conduct of translational medicine, stem cell clinics have continued to proliferate in contemporary China. This article delves beyond regulatory exteriors to provide an ethnographic account of why unauthorized stem cell clinics targeting foreign clients have flourished un…
Biotech Pilgrims and the Transnational Quest for Stem Cell Cures
Thousands of patients with incurable neurodegenerative conditions from more than 60 countries have sought fetal cell transplants in China since 2001. Drawing on 24 months of ethnographic fieldwork, I investigate these transnational encounters occurring in the realm of experimental medicine. Critiquing popular notions of "medical tourism," I develop the alternative concept of "biotech pilgrimage" to reveal how faith intertwines with technology, tr…
