Covid-19 and Political Polarization
Chinese Australians are from a variety of backgrounds, Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan for instance. Most Chinese Australians of Southeast Asian migrant backgrounds are politically inactive regarding the PRC, but do take the opportunity of China’s economic take off to expand their business. Migrants from Guangdong and Hong Kong used to be the most numerous in Australia since the middle 19th century and they were also the ones that…
Gao Village Revisited
Vital factors for Chinese rural development
This paper, by a case study of Gao Village, examines how two factors, i.e. lineage identity and the reach of the state, impact on local governance in rural China. The paper argues that the withdrawal of the state was detrimental to local governance in the first 20 or so years of post-Mao rural China. With the abolition of agricultural tax and various levies, and the introduction of rural subsidies, rural healthcare and medical care insurances and…
Early Chinese Migrants to Australia
This paper critically assesses the issues surrounding nineteenth-century Chinese migration to British colonies, especially Australia. The issues discussed in the paper include the origin of the term “sojourner” and its relationship to Western colonialism, and the origin of the term huaqiao (overseas Chinese) and its relationship to Chinese nationalism. By being critical of the narrative of the “sojourner” for its cultural essentialist approach to…
The Battle For China's Past
从对电视剧《施琅大将军》的争论看 中国文化民族主义复兴的困境 (The Dilemma of Chinese Cultural Nationalism
With the rise of China's status on international stage as a result of its economic development there is an increasingly audible voice of Chinese cultural nationalism. More and more educators and intellectuals are calling for the revival of Chinese traditional culture values. However, the very issues of who are the Chinese and what are traditional Chinese cultural values present a huge dilemma. The debates on a recent a TV program "General Shi Lan…

The Trojan Horse of English Language Teaching
Influences of Native Culture and Language on Intercultural Communication
The paper is a discussion of verbal and non-verbal communication issues encoutered by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) students as immigrants in Australia. It is based on a large survey study as well as interview studies of PRC students who were granted residence status by the Australian government after the 1989 Tiananmen events. When immigrants initially live in a society which is culturally different, their own culture is still with them m…
Contesting Citizenship in Urban China
Asian Bulge
Sino-US love and hate relations
This article examines the issues surrounding the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade on 7th of May 1999. It first describes both the official and the unofficial Chinese reaction to the bombing. Then the Western media reaction to the Chinese reaction is analyzed. The article then proceeds to identify the emotional impact of the bombing on the Chinese. Finally, the article looks at the consequences that the bombing has already caused or…
Factional Politics in the CPC
The interpretation of the CPC elite politics in terms of factionalism or informal politics is well recognised. The effects on ordinary citizens at the grassroots level of the authoritarian nature of the Chinese political system is also well documented. Although factionalism, informal politics and the authoritarian nature of CPC politics have been demonstrated and analysed extensively, most of the scholarship focuses on the description of politics…

From Student to Citizen
This article is a survey of students from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) who arrived in Australia after 1986 and were still there in 1992. Students from the PRC began to enter Australia in 1972 when China and Australia established diplomatic relations. The numbers were insignificant until 1986 when Australia launched its education export policy. The article provides statistics and analysis on the motivation of these students, their educatio…
Chinese reality and writings by Chinese expatriates
At first glance, it might appear that the books under review fall into two unrelated categories. The first of the three books, Dialectic of the Chinese Revolution, presents intellectual reflections on Chinese consciousness at the highest degree of abstraction, whereas the next two, Deng Xiaoping and The Private Life of Chairman Mao, are largely empirical and descriptive
Rural situation in post-Mao China and the conditions of migrant workers
The economic reforms instituted in China in the late 1970s have transformed Chinese society and it is clear that the material well-being of many Chinese has improved greatly since that time. Numerous studies confirm this general picture and it would be pedantic to cite references to document the obvious benefits of these reforms. This report intends to draw the attention of readers to the other side of China's economic policies and practices. Foc…
Involutionary Rural Development and the Possibility of a Breakthrough
The post-Mao rural reforms have been generally accepted as a step forward in improving human conditions in rural China. It is true that in areas such as Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu improvement is impressive, though in other areas improvement has affected only a portion of the population.1 This study of one village, Gao Village, argues that in some areas rural life is not a clear-cut picture of total improvement since 1978. It shows that there…

Dōu as a wide scope universal quantifier
May (1977, 1985) argues that the rule of Quantifier Raising (QR), which is an instance of Move 8 is operative at the level of Logic Form (LF) in English. Based on the assumption that QR is operative at the level of S‐Structure (SS) in Chinese and that the lexical item dōu is relevant to the application of QR at SS in Chinese (Gao 1989, 1990), this paper, by demonstrating a set of properties of dōu, aims to argue that dōu is a wide scope universal…

China Under Deng Xiaoping
Memoirs and interpretation of the cultural revolution
In recent years a large number of memoirs providing important information and insights about contemporary China have become available in Chinese and English. These memoirs also give us an emotional dimension in our understanding of China's history and politics. However, how to read and interpret these memoirs is an important issue for historians and political scientists. This is particularly true when we read the accounts by the survivors of the …
