China's Rise: Prosperity, power and pushback

The Australian Centre on China in the World warmly invites you to attend a panel discussion and the launch of the China Story Yearbook: Power 权势威力, with opening remarks by Professor Rufus Black, Vice-Chancellor, University of Tasmania.

The China Story Yearbook: Power surveys the various ways in which the Party-state wields its hard, soft, and sharp power, both in China and abroad. Citizens of the People's Republic have long had to negotiate the state’s power and influence in their life. Increasingly, diaspora communities and non-Chinese citizens, companies and governments around the world are learning to do the same. Some submit, some push back.

Jane Golley and Linda Jaivin, two of the book’s co-editors, will be joined by two contributing authors, Ben Hillman and Mark Harrison, to discuss ‘Girl Power’, soft culture, the rapid expansion of state-owned enterprises, an analysis of Taiwan’s politics and more.

Panellists

  • Jane Golley, Director, Australian Centre on China in the World, ANU, and Co-editor, China Story Yearbook: Power
  • Mark Harrison, Senior Lecturer (Chinese Studies), School of Social Sciences, College of Arts, Law and Education, University of Tasmania
  • Ben Hillman, Director, Policy and Governance Program, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU
  • Linda Jaivin, Cultural Commentator and Co-editor, China Story Yearbook: Power

The China Story Yearbook: Power is available for purchase at a discounted price of $20 (RRP$45) at the launch. All proceeds will go towards funding the next Yearbook.
