Eastover Welcomes Renowned Chinese Medicine Doctor Zhang Dechao & the Deyu Hall Cancer Treatment/Rehabilitation Team

Who:	Eastover Estate & Eco-Village
Where:	430 East Street Lenox, MA Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Deyu Hall is well-known to Chinese and other foreign nationals for their successful treatment of cancer through the use of centuries old Taoist principles and Traditional Chinese Medicine. With a belief system centered on the “Tao” (the Way/Source) its focus is the cultivation of “Source” energy as a way of life. The doctor of Chinese Medicine was therefore thought of very highly – well respected for their dedication to a practice that, while not theistically oriented in the traditional sense, stemmed greatly from a reverence for the Source of all things. In addition to the extensive use of herbs, acupuncture, qigong and massage, doctors practicing Chinese medical sciences were devoted to Qi cultivation by way of the practice of meditation, breath control, and Taoist ethics that instilled, among other virtues, simplicity, compassion and a non-fear based/non-dogmatic sense of morality. In the tradition of Chinese medicine masters such as Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo and Li Shizhen, Dr. Zhang Dechao is outstanding in this field – catering to cancer victims for decades, he has cured and brought hope to many patients with the creation of his “Anti-Cancer Stereotherapy”.
Dr. Zhang Dechao received the title of Master of Acupuncture and Moxibustion from the Hubei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His father, Zhang Sinan, was also a Chinese Medicine doctor, and the inventor of the first generation of the Acupuncture Induction Electrotherapy machine in China. He studied under Professor Sun Guojie, Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Acupuncture Masters, was a student of Wu Wenwen, and is proficient in spiritual teachings and ethics. From childhood he demonstrated interest in ancient Chinese texts on morality and medicine, reading such classics as the I Ching and The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine to acquire the wisdom of sages. Dr. Dechao has traveled extensively to places like Wudang Mountain and Shennongiia in China to collect exotic medicinal herbs in an effort to lay the foundation for his role in ridding the world of cancer.

If you're walking around the neighborhood of South Williamsburg in Brooklyn and hear loud drums in the distance, it's not a dream — follow the bellowing sound waves down a nondescript alleyway to discover a hidden dojo practicing a 1500-year-old drumming art from Japan.
Join New York Adventure Club for a private drumming workshop at Taiko Masala, a Brooklyn-based dojo dedicated to the art of Taiko, a traditional Japanese drumming and martial arts-inspired movement.
Led by master drummer Hiro Kurashima, owner and founder of Taiko Masala, our unique musical experience will include:

The history and story of Hiro's Brooklyn dojo and ancient Japanese art of Taiko
A walkthrough of the workshop to see the dojo's arsenal of hand-made instruments, including small eight-inch hand-held drums, five-foot barrel drums, and the giant 250-pound O-daiko
A one-hour lesson on the art of Taiko — you'll learn everything from a simple Taiko backbeat rhythm to simple melody pattern
A jam session with your fellow Adventure Club Taiko orchestra members that incorporates your newly learned Taiko skills

After the interactive lesson and jam session, we'll listen to a live musical demonstration by Taiko Masala's Thunder Drumming Troupe, a professional Taiko drumming orchestra that travel the country performing at some of the nation's largest Japanese events and festivals.

See you there!

About Taiko Masala
Taiko Masala was formed in 2001 under the leadership and instruction of Suwa-style Master Drummer and Founder of the New York Suwa Taiko Association, Hiro Kurashima.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Taiko Masala strives to carry on the tradition of Grand Master Daihachi Oguchi. Grand Master Oguchi developed and introduced Suwa-style ensemble Taiko drumming first to Japanese audiences in the 1950s and then to audiences around the world until his untimely death seven years ago. Grand Master Oguchi’s goal was, and the intention of Taiko Masala and all the other Suwa Taiko Association teams in the New York Metropolitan area is, to spread the joy of Taiko to as many people as possible.
Taiko Masala drummers—men and women of different ages, with different cultural, religious and music backgrounds; from different walks of life, for a wide range of personal reasons — come together with the intention to play well and share the joy of both traditional and contemporary Taiko music with everyone.

Gu Ge - Vocal Art Inspired by Classical Chinese Music and Verse: Hailing from Antiquity, Returning to the Source

Who:	The Renwen Society at China Institute
Where:	100 Washington Street New York, NY Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Gu Ge (Ancient Vocal Music) is a genre that constitutes part of China’s music heritage: ancient poetry set to ancient tunes. These songs are based on classical Chinese music, lyricised with classical Chinese verse and sung by modern vocalists. They lend themselves to easy learning and singing and serve as a vehicle for spreading contemporary Oriental music aesthetics and placing these ancient musical gems on the landscape of modern life. On 5 January 2019, vocal artist Xiao Cao, at the invitation of the Renwen Society of China Institute, will share the stories behind Gu Ge and demonstrate the irresistible and inimitable charm of classical Chinese melodies and poetry.

Free, but advanced registration is requested.

While the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in January 2017 marked a step back from its role as a champion of regional trade agreements in the Asia-Pacific, other nations in the region have since taken up the mantle. From the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partenrship (CPTPP) – the successor to the TPP, which will go into effect on December 30th – to negotiations to conclude the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) by 2019, the future of trade in the Asia-Pacific is increasingly being shaped by Asians.
As the appeal of these agreements and others remains strong, economies in the region are increasingly looking to develop trading ties with new partners. Which economies will be the next to join CPTPP? Will China at some point express interest? What will a final RCEP look like, and what are the prospects of reaching agreement in 2019? How will greater economic integration affect individual economies in this dynamic region? How do these developments impact the U.S. as it pursues bilateral deals in the region?
To consider these questions and more, the Asia Society Policy Institute is organizing a discussion with foreign officials and Asia trade experts, including special guest Amb. Kenichiro Sasae, former Japanese Ambassador to the United States.

In that capacity, she worked on a range of U.S. trade negotiations and initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and bilateral negotiations with Japan. She was also the Chief Negotiator to the U.S.-Korea (Korus) Free Trade Agreement.
Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae is the president and director general of the Japan Institute of International Affairs.

He also served as director-general for the Asian and Oceania Affairs Bureau from 2005 to 2008, and held various other positions both in Japan and abroad, including postings in the US, the UK, and Geneva.

Prior to his current appointment, he served as Ambassador to Indonesia from 2006 to 2012, High Commissioner to Malaysia from 2002 to 2006 and High Commissioner to Australia from 2000 to 2002.

Battling for Definition: Healing and Gender among Afro-Iberian Herbalists in 17th-Century Cartagena de Indias

Kathryn Joy McKnight, University of New Mexico
Afro-Iberian women healers in Cartagena de Indias provided essential services where disease and injury surpassed the capacity of the city’s European doctors. Their use of herbal and ritual remedies was often more effective than the latters’ purges and bloodlettings. These women were also feared, as the African-descent population surged beyond that of Europeans in a multiracial imperial port city. They became the target of imperial and inquisitorial attack, labeled as a “great conspiracy of witches” in the 1630s. This talk teases out the gendered competition for definition of self and of urban space by casta healers who told stories with words and movement through hospitals, jails, city walls, neighborhoods, churches, and homes, playing on the vulnerabilities expressed in elite representations of urban space. The talk draws especially on the Inquisition trials of herbalist Paula de Eguiluz and surgeon Diego Lopez whose stories try alternately to arouse and allay the fears of the Iberians they lived with and treated.
Free and open to the public.
Light lunch will be served.

Join Asia Society Northern California and Young China Watchers for a private tour of the "Art and China after 1989" exhibition at SFMOMA with curator Gary Garrels.
About the exhibition: Bracketed by the end of the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World presents works by more than sixty artists and artists’ groups that anticipated, chronicled, and agitated for the sweeping social transformation that saw the rise of China as a global power in the new millennium. The exhibition examines conceptually based performances, paintings, photographs, installations, videos, and socially engaged projects that question consumerism, authoritarianism, and the rapid development transforming society and China’s role in the world, placing their experiments firmly in a global art-historical context. The artists serve as both skeptics of and catalysts for the massive changes unfolding around them, and their work continues to inspire new thinking at a moment when questions of identity, equality, ideology, and control have pressing relevance.
Gary Garrels is Elise S. Haas Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture at SFMOMA, a position he assumed in September 2008. Previous appointments include chief curator and deputy director of exhibitions and public programs, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Robert Lehman Foundation Chief Curator of Drawings and Curator of Painting and Sculpture, Museum of Modern Art, New York; Elise S.

Garrels has organized numerous exhibitions throughout his career including Inside Out: New Chinese Art (1999, co-organized with the Asia Society, New York) at SFMOMA. Currently he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, Saint Louis.

Historian and USC professor James McHugh returns to the IAO for a talk about the role of scent in early India. Drawing from the research that led to his seminal book ‘Sandalwood and Carrion,’ James will share some formulas while exploring philosophical, literary and religious interpretations and usages of scent – and the wider impact aroma had on early Indian culture.
Join us!
-
About James McHugh
After receiving his BA in Philosophy from Cambridge and his M.Phil in Classical India Religion at Oxford University, McHugh received his Ph.D in Sanskrit from Harvard University in 2008.
McHugh’s PhD focus was on perfume making in ancient India, and he is probably the very first graduate student to officially attach and archive scents as part of his PhD thesis. He did this through a series of historic reconstitutions with perfumer Christophe Laudamiel.
He is now a professor of Indian religions at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, continuing his research on the history of the sense of smell and perfumery with a focus on India.
McHugh recently concluded a fellowship with Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities, and his book on smell, ‘Sandalwood and Carrion’, was published by Oxford University Press in September 2012.

ACIR is honored to host retired South Korean Lieutenant General and former Commander of South Korea's Special Forces In-bum Chun who will speak on the topic, "Contemporary Issues on the Korean Peninsula."
General Chun pulls no punches when he speaks, and he has much to say about North Korea's "Supreme Leader," Kim Jong Un, and his nuclear ambitions. Is Kim stalling and buying time with the current American and South Korean administrations while he continues his march toward completion of a nuclear tipped missile? General Chun's review of past European and American administrations as well as the current one will prove to be a most interesting one.
General Chun is the first South Korean officer since the Vietnam War to be awarded the U.S. Bronze Star, and in 2016, he received the U.S. Special Operations Command Medal. General Chun speaks perfect English, and he leaves no misunderstandings about his positions regarding threats on the Korean Peninsula and what realistic options face the United States and South Korea.
General Chun retired from military service in July 2016 after completing an illustrious 35 year career that included many command and staff assignments. In the latter years of his career, he served as the Director of U.S. Affairs at the Korean Ministry of National Defense, Commander of the Republic of Korea's (ROK) Special Warfare Command, and Deputy Commander for the First ROK Army. He has been a research fellow at the Center for International Studies, a contributor to the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and was a visiting fellow in the Center for East Asia Policy Studies at the Brookings Institute.

Facts:
Currently, the employment rate of South Korean women is 21 percentage points below that of men, according to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD also recommended that South Korea should promote a workplace culture that supports work-life balance, and break down labor market dualism to support female labor force participation.
Many South Koreans are reluctant to accept that women have careers, and firms often fail to accommodate the needs of working mothers. The workplace has been slow to adapt, and huge numbers of capable female candidates are being overlooked or sidelined.

Chinese Spirits and Cheese @ Murray's Cheese

Come to Murray's for a truly one-of-a-kind baijiu spirits and cheese pairing class! Baijiu, pronounced bye-j’yo, meaning ‘white spirits’ in Mandarin, is a category that encompasses all traditional Chinese grain spirits. Production techniques differ significantly by region and style, and different styles of baijiu can be as distinct as whiskey is to tequila. Baijiu and Western spirits are fundamentally different alcohols with respect to their production, ingredients, and taste. The unique aromas and flavors of baijiu ranging from light hints of vanilla to tropical fruits to bold earthy umami will most likely make for an extraordinary cheese pairing experience! The class will feature cheese pairings with four major baijiu styles (Rice, Light, Strong, Sauce) and a special Ming River Sichuan baijiu cocktail.
Ming River is the original Sichuan baijiu. Crafted by Luzhou Laojiao, China’s oldest continuously operating distillery since 1573, it uses time honored traditional methods passed from master to apprentice over 24 generations. Each batch starts with locally harvested red sorghum grain and the purest waters from protected wells. It is fermented in earthen pits with naturally harvested yeast cultures native to the lush river town of Luzhou that impart the distinctive terroir of Sichuan style baijiu. After two months the mash is unearthed and distilled in small batches using a traditional Chinese pot still. The spirits age for up to two years before a master blender balances them into Ming River’s distinctive flavor. The result is an uncompromisingly bold spirit with notes of pineapple and anise followed by a long mellow finish. Double Gold winner of the 2018 NY World Wine & Spirits competition.

Who:	Global Family Travels
Where:	112 5th Avenue South Edmonds, WA Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Join Global Family Travels' Founder and CEO, Jennifer Spatz and Seattle-area school teacher, Ben Wheeler, Trip Leader of our Summer 2019 Ladakh Trip, as they share their expertise and vibrant images of the region along with practical advice on what you need to know to prepare for a trip to Ladakh!
Often called "Little Tibet," Ladakh is one of the last places in the world where the Buddhist way of life is unrepressed and many Tibetan refugees have settled here. The region was once an independent Buddhist kingdom at the crossroads of the Silk Road between China and the Middle East. Ladakh is now part of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir in one of the northernmost regions in India, and although it is a remote part of India, it is a destination that Global Family Travels will always travel to.
In 2019, Global Family Travels will be offering several trips to Ladakh, including:

Our signature Ladakh: Learn, Serve & Immerse itinerary (July 7-18)

Art of the SIlk Road trip (July 8-10)

Discover India and the 8-Limbs of Yoga Rereat with Tina Templeman (late September/early October, 2019)

Our trips offer the opportunity to immerse in, and learn from, the Ladakhi communal culture and the Buddhist traditions of this stunning region, as well as to participate in a community service project with students from the Siddhartha School Project.
Jennifer will review these trip itineraries, which can also be downloaded from: https://www.globalfamilytravels.com/india

Indian Cooking Class

Who:	Josh Turansky
Where:	2206 East Baltimore Street Baltimore, MD Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

A one time Indian cooking class with a Pakistani chef. $50 per person. January 12th in my Butchers Hill home. 8 total guests.
Menue:

chicken biryani

chapati

chai tea

Here's the backstory. Two months ago I was in an Uber and my driver told me that he was a trained chef from Pakistan. He and his family have been in the US as a refugees for the past two years. He is driving Uber so that he can save money and start his own restaurant. My hobby for the past 12 years has been cooking and eating Indian Food. So I suggested that our families do a meal together.
Back on November 10th Mohammed brought his wife and three kids over and cooked an amazing meal in my kitchen. It was an amazing experience. I suggested he should teach private cooking classes and offered to host the first one in our home. We live off Baltimore street in Butchers Hill. All funds collected through this event will be passed along to Mohammed. The event will start around 5 PM and end by 8 PM.

Camaje Cooking Classes are unique. They are intimate (there is room for only 6 students per class) and are taught in a working restaurant kitchen by a professional chef. Class starts in the Camaje dining room, where you meet your chef/teacher and your classmates to discuss the menu and how to prepare it. Then you don aprons and, under the chef’s watchful eye and with her help, if needed, you prepare your ingredients. Prep finished, it's time to move to the kitchen to cook. (Remember: You are in a working restaurant kitchen—if there’s a rush, stand back! Students tell us they find this exciting and instructive.) When you all have finished cooking, it’s time to gather around your table in the dining room for wine and tasty food cooked by you. Relax with the chef and chat with your classmates. Bon appetit!

Asia Briefing - Huawei, Hi Tech and U.S.-China Ties
When Canadian authorities arrested Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou in December, they were acting at the request of the U.S. prosecutors investigating whether the tech giant had violated U.S. sanctions against Iran. That probe was prompted by a series of articles by Steve Stecklow, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter with Reuters.
Please join Asia Society Southern California and the USC US-China Institute for a discussion with Stecklow about a case that encompasses key issues in the complex relationship between Washington and Beijing: trade, high technology and national security. The arrest of Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei’s founder, underscores the stakes. Huawei has risen to become the world’s largest telecommunications-equipment maker and second largest smartphone maker – a key player in building digital infrastructure for the global economy. Her arrest has heightened tensions between China and both the U.S. and Canada. Ottawa says that China has since detained 13 Canadian citizens. What’s more, the friction over Chinese high-technology sales extends beyond Huawei. Stecklow’s reporting has also led to about $2 billion in fines levied by the U.S. against Huawei’s fellow telecom-equipment maker ZTE.

Stecklow joined Reuters in 2012 after 18 years at the Wall Street Journal, where he shared a Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for a series of stories on stock-options backdating by U.S. companies. Based in London, he has long reported on Asia, and his recent investigations include stories on how Facebook failed to combat hate speech in Myanmar, how Iran's Supreme Leader secretly controls a multi-billion-dollar corporate empire and how Western and Chinese technologies are used by repressive regimes to crack down on dissidents.

Explorers Club Public Lecture Series with Mary Ting
Mary Ting will give a visual oriented historical, cultural and personal presentation that examines the complex issue of the Chinese market for endangered species products and the quest for power, status, and immortality. From elephant ivory to elephant skin, rhino horn, shark fin, pangolin scales, tiger and lion parts, sea cucumber and rosewood - the list of desired luxury items is long and growing as species dwindle and “new traditional” products appear. In order to get behind the how-and-why this came to be, it is necessary to look at history. Guests will sprint through 200 years of history spanning the Century of Humiliations, the Communist takeover, the Economic Reforms to the Belt & Road expansion, all through the lens of the wildlife trade. Chinese traditional symbols, gift tradition, shopping, Western influences, and societal changes in the meaning of basic words and societal mores, will all be discussed. Ting’s talk ends with suggestions and hope from within China itself.Mary Ting is a Chinese American artist, cultural thinker, educator, independent curator, and writer. She teaches at City University of New York at John Jay College in both the studio art department and the Environmental Justice program. Mary is a two-time recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, 2016 Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Residency, 2010 Gottlieb Foundation grant, Lambent Fellowship, and a Pollack Krasner Foundation among others. She curated the recent exhibition, ENDANGERED! and COMPASSION: For the Animals Great & Small. Along with a MFA in fine art, she has an advanced degree in Chinese folk art studies from the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. Mary worked as a consultant for UNICEF Beijing and organized nine photography exhibitions on its social welfare development programs in China. Earthjustice featured her work in the blog post; "The Earth Needs a Good Artist".

Despite 2018 being the year of Korean diplomatic engagement which was characterized by President Trump’s unconventional, experimental, top down diplomacy there has been no reduction in the conventional and unconventional threats to the ROK/US alliance from the mafia-like crime family cult known as the Kim family regime. Although we all desire a peaceful outcome to the "Korea question" there remains a very real threat posed by north Korea's offensively postured 6 million man army (the 4th largest in the world) and there has been no substantive action toward denuclearization. This presentation will discuss the north’s interests, strategic plans, negotiating strategy, and the full range of threats posed by the regime’s strategic ways and means of subversion, coercion, extortion, and potential use of force.
Lunch will be provided.

January 17-18, 2019
In late 1978, President Jimmy Carter and Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping made the decision to establish full diplomatic relationship between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China on January 1, 1979. This decision, President Carter said, has changed the US, China and the world.
2019 sees the 40th anniversary of this decision. Both sides agree this relationship is one of the most consequential bilateral relationship in the world. Both sides also recognize the stable and productive relationship in the past 40 years has contributed significantly to global peace and prosperity. At the same time, arguably, this relationship is currently undergoing the most serious crisis of trust and faces unprecedented challenges.
It is therefore important for the caretakers of the bilateral relationship (practitioners, corporate leaders, academic watchers and NGO workers to come together to share their views on what are the factors that have made the relationship in the past mutually beneficial and what it takes to sustain this relationship in the future so that the two largest economies in the world won’t become arch rivals engaged in zero-sum competition or even outright confrontation.
It is with this view The Carter Center (TCC), the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and the Institute of American Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IAS) will jointly organize this symposium. The Kettering Foundation and the Fordham University are supporting organizers of this forum. The Ford Foundation has offered a generous grant for this forum. Many other national and local corporations and organizations have offered organizing and financial support for this event

Japanese Ryūrei Tea Ceremony

Who:	Japan House
Where:	2000 South Lincoln Avenue Urbana, IL Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Join us for Ryūrei, a traditional table-style Japanese tea ceremony!

Chado, or the Way of Tea, is one of the most ancient and revered arts of Japan, and is at the very heart of Japan House. There are many different variations of this art form. Traditionally, guests sit in the seiza posture (kneeling with the tops of the feet flat on the floor and sitting on the soles). But there is a variety of tea ceremony in which one sits on a chair while drinking the tea. This is called the Ryūrei style.
Historically, in Japan, people didn't use chairs. They sat on the floor to eat meals. In contrast, people in the West sit on chairs at a table to eat meals. Ryūrei was created as a way of making tea ceremony more accessible to Westerners. Even Japanese people, who use the seiza posture much less than in the past, embrace the Ryūrei style of tea ceremony because it places less of a burden on the legs.
The Ryūrei style of tea ceremony was created by Gengensai Seichū (1810-1877), the 11th head of the Urasenke school of tea ceremony, for an exposition held in 1872 in Kyoto. Many foreigners visited Japan at this time, so the government requested that an effort be made to accommodate them by modifying the traditional form of tea ceremony.
The main feature of Ryūrei style is that both host and guests sit on a chair. The seiza posture is no longer used, but utensils are used in the same way as in a normal tea ceremony. Although this one aspect of the ceremony is altered, the Ryūrei style is otherwise the same as a tea ceremony performed using the seiza posture.
While here, learn about Japan House and the history of this 500 year old art form, and enjoy a bowl of matcha tea and wagashi, a traditional Japanese sweet. Experience a moment of peace.
Reservations are required. You will be asked to remove your shoes (or use shoe covers) when you enter, and to wear white socks (we have some to lend you if you forget). We also ask that legs be covered as is traditional in Japan. You will be sitting on chairs, not on the tatami mats.

FAQs
Why is this tea ceremony served Ryūrei (table style) and not the traditonal style on the tatami mats?
In order to accommodate guests of all ages and ranges of mobility, we offer a style of tea ceremony where all guests sit on chairs. The tea ceremony where guests sit on tatami, is held on alternating Wednesdays at 5:30pm and occasional weekends.

Under President Xi Jinping, China has become a large and confident power both at home and abroad, but the country also faces serious challenges including debt, "the middle income trap," the renminbi, and an aging population. In Red Flags, George Magnus argues that Xi's authoritarian and repressive philosophy is ultimately not compatible with the country's economic aspirations.
How do the political challenges at home and abroad threaten China's continued rise? Can Xi Jinping, who may be president-for-life, be open to reform?
George Magnus is an associate at the China Centre at Oxford University, research associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and formerly chief economist of UBS.

Join us for a traditional Japanese tea ceremony during 3rd Saturdays at Japan House!

Chado, or the Way of Tea, is one of the most ancient and revered arts of Japan, and is at the very heart of Japan House. Come to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony to learn about Japan House on the campus of the University of Illinois, and the history of this 500 year old art form. Watch as the host carefully and thoughtfully prepares each piece of equipment so you can thouroughly enjoy a bowl of matcha tea and seasonal wagashi, a traditional Japanese sweet.
Experience a moment of peace.
You will be asked to remove your shoes (or use shoe covers) when you enter, and to wear white socks (we have some to lend you if you forget). We also ask that legs be covered as is traditional in Japan. You will be kneeling or sitting on the tatami mats, but if that is a problem we can easily pull a chair up to the tea room for you, and you still still be at the same height as the other participants.
Space is limited to 20 guests. Reservations are recommended.
Every 3rd Saturday of the month Japan House is open to the public for free tours and shopping from 11am - 1pm.

With the new amendments to the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement scheduled to go into effect soon, now is an opportune time for the United States and the Republic of Korea to explore ways to strengthen and expand their economic ties. With an eye to the future, a number of areas – including stronger trade and investment ties, energy, digital and advanced technologies, infrastructure, and women’s empowerment – are ripe for closer cooperation.
Join the Asia Society Policy Institute for the launch of its latest issue brief: Advancing the U.S.-Korea Economic Agenda. In this brief, ASPI vice president Wendy Cutler and co-author Hye-min Lee, former G20 sherpa and ambassador for international economic affairs for the Republic of Korea,provide recommendations for how the two countries can bolster cooperation in the economic sphere.
To discuss the findings of the report and explore the prospects for advancing the broader U.S.-Korea economic agenda, ASPI will host a public panel discussion with brief co-authors Ms. Cutler and Amb. Lee, along with former Congressman Charles Boustany and the U.S. Chamber’s David Gossack. Bloomberg anchor Shery Ahn will moderate the discussion, with opening remarks by Korean ambassador to the U.S., Cho Yoon-je.

Speakers

Ambassador Cho Yoon-je has served as the Ambassador to the U.S. of the Republic of Korea since 2017. He previously served as the Senior Counselor to the Deputy Prime Minister, and to the Minister of Finance and Economy, as well as the Ambassador of Korea to the United Kingdom. He has also served in positions at the World Bank and the IMF, and a professor at Seoul’s Sogang University, teaching courses on economics, finance and development.
Wendy Cutler is vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) and the managing director of the Washington D.C. Office. She joined ASPI following an illustrious career of nearly three decades as a diplomat and negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), including serving as Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative, during which she worked on a range of U.S. trade negotiations and initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region, including on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. She was also the Chief Negotiator to the U.S.-Korea (Korus) Free Trade Agreement.
Ambassador Hye-min Lee is a visiting professor of the Graduate School of International Studies at Seoul National University.

During his years in Congress, Boustany served on the influential House Ways and Means Committee and was Chairman of the Subcommittee on Tax Policy, where he established himself as an expert and leader on tax, trade, health care, and entitlement policy. As Congressman, he authored legislation on a wide range of subjects, including trade enforcement language that created the tools for more effective trade enforcement in an effort to stop abusive practices.

He concurrently serves as president of the U.S.-Japan Business Council (USJBC) and president of the U.S.-Korea Business Council (USKBC).

Book Talk: Victor Cha and David Kang on "Nuclear North Korea: A Debate on Engagement Strategies"

Who:	SFS Asian Studies Program
Where:	36th Street Northwest Washington, DC Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

The Asian Studies Program and the Mortara Center for International Studies invites Georgetown University students, faculty, and staff to a discussion about North Korean engagement strategies with Professor Victor Cha and Professor David Kang, authors of Nuclear North Korea: A Debate on Engagement Strategies (Columbia University Press). Fifteen years after the book was first published, the revised edition "remains an essential guide to the difficult choices we face" when interacting with North Korea. "Coming from different perspectives—Kang believes the threat posed by Pyongyang has been inflated and endorses a more open approach, while Cha is more skeptical and advocates harsher measures, though both believe that some form of engagement is necessary—the authors together present authoritative analysis of one of the world’s thorniest challenges." Read more about the book here.

A limited number of books will be available for purchase at this event.

Victor D. Cha is D. S. Song–Korea Foundation Endowed Chair in the Department of Government and School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He is senior adviser and Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and was director for Asian affairs at the National Security Council from 2004 to 2007. His books include The Impossible State: North Korea, Past and Future (2012).

David C. Kang is Maria Crutcher Professor of International Relations, Business, and East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California, where he is also director of the Korean Studies Institute and the Center for International Studies. His most recent book is American Grand Strategy and East Asian Security in the Twenty-First Century (2017).

#ChinaToo: The Feminist Awakening in the People's Republic

Where:	International House, The Great Hall Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 274

Through interviews with the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists, journalist and scholar Leta Hong Fincher argues in "Betraying Big Brother" that the popular, broad-based movement poses a unique challenge to China’s authoritarian regime today. Her book traces the rise of a new feminist consciousness now finding expression through the #MeToo movement, and describes how the Chinese government has suppressed the history of its own feminist struggles and how the movement against patriarchy could reconfigure China and the world.
Fincher's presentation will be followed by a discussion with Dayo Gore, associate professor in Ethnic Studies and Critical Gender Studies at UC San Diego.
A reception will be held after the event.
The event is co-sponsored by Global Forum at i-House.
Location: International House, The Great Hall (directions). Closest parking will be at the Pangea Parking Structure (Pangea Drive at N. Torrey Pines Rd.) A parking permit is required and can be purchased at the pay stations.

Experience a moment of peace.
You will be asked to remove your shoes (or use shoe covers) when you enter, and to wear white socks (we have some to lend you if you forget).

Space is limited to 20 guests. Reservations are recommended.

Free Japanese Cinema ScreeningMIRAI(98mins, 2018)
Directed by Mamoru Hosoda
Wednesday, January 23 @7PMFREE Admission, No Registration Required

About Film:From acclaimed director Mamoru Hosoda (Summer Wars, Wolf Children) and Japan’s Studio Chizu comes MIRAI, a daringly original story of love passed down through generations. When four-year-old Kun meets his new baby sister, his world is turned upside down. Named Mirai (meaning “future”), the baby quickly wins the hearts of Kun’s entire family. As his mother returns to work, and his father struggles to run the household, Kun becomes increasingly jealous of baby Mirai… until one day he storms off into the garden, where he encounters strange guests from the past and future – including his sister Mirai, as a teenager. Together, Kun and teenage Mirai go on a journey through time and space, uncovering their family’s incredible story. But why did Mirai come from the future?
An official selection at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, and the epic capstone of director Mamoru Hosoda’s career, Mirai is a sumptuous, magical, and emotionally soaring adventure about the ties that bring families together and make us who we are.

China & Pacific Rim Markets: Compliance Processes for Life Science Products - Company Establishment, Clinical Trials, Registrations, Renewals and Supply Chain Considerations

*** LIMITED TIME OFFER: FREE $100 AMAZON GIFT CARD! ***
REGISTER TODAY!

This China & Pacific Rim life science compliance-based seminar will discuss the regulatory structure and requirements for compliance with in-country regulations for Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Biologics and Combination Products.
China has been improving its regulatory regime governing the food and pharmaceutical industry in recent years. In 2010, by promulgating the amended GMP and amending GLP, GCP, GSP and other regulations, China will further align the country with international standards of practice. For manufacturers and distributors of drugs and medical devices in China, it is important to pay close attention to the pace at which SFDA implements these changes and to make changes to their standard operating procedures when necessary to ensure compliance with the evolving regime.
Other Pacific Rim markets are also growing in importance and interest in access to innovative products. In-country Regulatory Agencies are progressing in their sophistication, process development and regulatory requirements.

Topic Back Ground:
The Chinese government's establishment of a single drug regulatory authority in 2003 (The State Food and Drug Administration) was an important step toward foreign access, because it eliminated the conflicting standards that prevailed among provincial government agencies, centralized the Chinese healthcare regulatory system, and made it more transparent to industry partners. The SFDA now oversees all medications. Other former functions of the ministry have been assigned to different government bodies. The most important of these was the transfer of medical insurance responsibilities to the new Ministry of Labor and Social Security. The Ministry of Health retains its other main functions: regulatory development and oversight, healthcare resource allocation, and medical research and education.
Along with it in 2010, China has amended GMP, GLP, GCP, GSP and other regulations, China's aim is to further align the country with international standards of practice. For manufacturers and distributors and importers of drugs and medical devices in China, it is imperative to pay close attention to the pace at which SFDA implements these changes. They have to make changes accordingly to their standard operating procedures, so that they can ensure compliance quickly and effectively with the evolving regime.

Grand Strategy and American Power in the Asia Pacific Since 1783

Who:	The Institute of World Politics
Where:	1521 16th Street Northwest Washington, DC Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

This discussion is a part of IWP's China series.
About the Book: Soon after the American Revolution, certain of the founders began to recognize the strategic significance of Asia and the Pacific and the vast material and cultural resources at stake there. Over the coming generations, the United States continued to ask how best to expand trade with the region and whether to partner with China, at the center of the continent, or Japan, looking toward the Pacific. Where should the United States draw its defensive line, and how should it export democratic principles? In a history that spans the eighteenth century to the present, By More Than Providence: Grand Strategy and American Power in the Asia Pacific Since 1783 follows the development of U.S. strategic thinking toward East Asia, identifying recurring themes in American statecraft that reflect the nation's political philosophy and material realities. Drawing on archives, interviews, and his own experience in the Pentagon and White House, Green finds one overarching concern driving U.S. policy toward East Asia: a fear that a rival power might use the Pacific to isolate and threaten the United States and prevent the ocean from becoming a conduit for the westward free flow of trade, values, and forward defense. By More Than Providence works through these problems from the perspective of history's major strategists and statesmen, from Thomas Jefferson to Alfred Thayer Mahan and Henry Kissinger. It records the fate of their ideas as they collided with the realities of the Far East and adds clarity to America's stakes in the region, especially when compared with those of Europe and the Middle East.
About the Author: Michael Jonathan Green is senior vice president for Asia and Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and director of Asian Studies at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He served on the staff of the National Security Council (NSC) from 2001 through 2005, first as director for Asian affairs with responsibility for Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, and then as special assistant to the president for national security affairs and senior director for Asia, with responsibility for East Asia and South Asia. Before joining the NSC staff, he was a senior fellow for East Asian security at the Council on Foreign Relations, director of the Edwin O. Reischauer Center and the Foreign Policy Institute and assistant professor at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, research staff member at the Institute for Defense Analyses, and senior adviser on Asia in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He also worked in Japan on the staff of a member of the National Diet.
Dr. Green is also a nonresident fellow at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia, a distinguished scholar at the Asia Pacific Institute in Tokyo, and professor by special appointment at Sophia University in Tokyo. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Aspen Strategy Group, the America Australia Leadership Dialogue, the advisory boards of Radio Free Asia and the Center for a New American Security, and the editorial boards of the Washington Quarterly and the Journal of Unification Studies in Korea. He also serves as a trustee at the Asia Foundation, senior adviser at the Asia Group, and associate of the U.S. Intelligence Community. Dr. Green has authored numerous books and articles on East Asian security, including most recently, By More Than Providence: Grand Strategy and American Power in the Asia Pacific Since 1783 (Columbia University Press, 2017). He received his master’s and doctoral degrees from SAIS and did additional graduate and postgraduate research at Tokyo University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his bachelor’s degree in history from Kenyon College with highest honors. He holds a black belt in Iaido (sword) and has won international prizes on the great highland bagpipe.

Come enjoy a free movie and pizza!
PG-13, 120min, 2018Crazy Rich Asians” follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life. It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families but also one of its most sought-after bachelors. Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim. And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things.For Grades 7-12

Where:	3350 Scott Blvd, Building 54 Santa Clara, CA Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Crazy Hilarious Asians, inspired by Crazy Rich Asians, is a standup comedy show featuring Bay Area's top Asian comedians! Enjoy an evening of laughs from jokes that touch on the Asian American experience and more with your significant other or friends at Ding Ding TV's amazing Silicon Valley Innovation Channel (yes, even the venue is an Asian TV studio).
Here is a photo of the amazing venue:

The lineup includes:
Sid Iyer is an "up-and-coming star" at just twenty years old, performing alongside and opening for major comedians including Maz Jobrani (Netflix Comedy Special, CBS), Samuel J. Comroe (2018 America’s Got Talent Finalist, Conan), Sammy Obeid (Conan, NBC), K-von (MTV), and Kabir Singh (Comedy Central, Family Guy, NBC). Sid has been tearing up the comedy scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, performing at every major comedy club within just the first four months of his stand-up career (SF Punchline, Cobb's, San Jose Improv, Tommy T's, Rooster T. Feathers). He is also an accomplished filmmaker and has won multiple awards from the California College Media Association and a San Jose film festival.
Kevin Wong is a Bay Area comic that performed at his first open mic at Tommy T's in 2010. In 2014, Kevin started a weekly show, producing and hosting The Secret Show: a Night of Stand-Up Comedy at The Swingin' Door in San Mateo, California. In 2016, he expanded his comedy reach, adding two new Bay Area shows: Comedians@RedRock - at Red Rock Coffee in Mountain View and Comedians@Rail - at Rail Club (formerly Carlos Club) in San Carlos. He also launched a solo podcast, aptly named The Podcast. Twice a week, he speaks candidly on topical issues, finding humor in life's lessons.
Helen Chu is a rising star comedian in the Bay Area. An Albany native, Helen went down the traditional path to entertainment stardom by majoring in mechanical engineering and delivering funny presentations about fluid dynamics. There is nothing fluid about Helen's humor though - she's mostly on fire at shows, except when it's dead. There has never been a flood.
Vilaska Nguyen is a public defender by day and comedian and actor by night. He's appeared in local and national television commercials, and for the past several years, he's performed stand-up at Cobb's Comedy, Punchline SF, Crazy Funny Asians, and was recently featured at the Kearny Street Workshop's APAture Festival in the Asian Art Museum. His comedy touches upon the immigrant experience, being a father, and the absurd injustices of the criminal justice system.
No drink or food minimum! The show is recommended for adults ages 18+, although parents may bring children at their own discretion.
EARLY BIRD ENDS 1/13!!!

Jasmine Ensemble is the first Yangqin ensemble in China to showcase classical Chinese and Western pieces in the form of an ensemble. On August 24, 2008—the closing day of the Beijing Olympic Games—“Jasmine” debuted at the Concert Hall of National Center for the Performing Arts, where they were invited to perform a concert named “What a Beautiful Jasmine Flower.” Shortly thereafter, they released their first album, titled Jasmine in Blossoms.
Under the guidance of Art Director, PhD supervisor Prof. Liu Yuening, Jasmine Ensemble has won the top award (national instruments group) at the 16th Osaka International Music Competition, the Golden prize (professional group) at the 1st International Dulcimer Music Festival at Eastman School of Music, among other high-level awards. They have issued their second and third albums, titled Jasmine in Fragrance and Sleepless Night—New Classics of Jasmine Ensemble, as well as an ensemble works publication. Additionally, Jasmine Ensemble has taken part in the recording of the world's first Chinese/English bilingual textbook series, Easy Steps to Chinese Music (yangqin section), featuring the overseas promotion of Chinese music as well as the CCTV feature Fenghua Guoyue (beautiful Chinese music).
On March 15, 2015, Jasmine Ensemble started its series lectures and performances themed around “Fusion and Development with Jasmine in Fragrance.” To date, the ensemble has visited 10 countries in Europe, Asia and North America, held a dozen concerts at home and abroad and premiered a dozen originally-composed and arranged ensemble pieces, sharing Yangqin ensemble music with the world. In June 2018, Jasmine Ensemble started a series performances for their tenth anniversary with a concert themed around Jasmine in Fragrance. In the fall of 2018, “Jasmine” traveled west to Tehran and collaborated with Iranian Santur on a “finding their roots” tour. The ancient echoes of the silk road played by harmonic strings received wide favor and broad acclaim from the audiences of the places they have visited.

Grandma's Chinese New Year Dinner (3+ Course Meal)

Who:	Cooking with Granny
Where:	New York, NY Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

Feast on a Chinese grandma's traditional Chinese New Year dinner. This is a delicious, interactive cultural experience. Touch, smell and handle the ingredients that make up Grandma Mamie's four dishes and accompanying sauces. Learn the symbolism of each ingredient as you watch us cook. Get to know how to make a scallion pancake extra crispy. And in typical Cooking with Granny fashion, hear the cultural stories behind the home cooking. For instance, Grandma Mamie used to shop at the ample chicken markets that dotted Chinatown in the 1950s. Where does she get her fresh, whole chicken now?
Born in Guangdong in the southern part of China, Grandma Mamie immigrated to the U.S. in 1956. She grew up in the restaurant business in Chinatown and Hell's Kitchen but really learned her cooking chops by watching and helping her own mom and grandma in the kitchen. For our dinner party, she'll be cooking the dishes that have been passed down through generations and celebrated around her family dinner table every year.
All the Chinese New Year magic will take place in an exclusive luxury Manhattan residence with a spacious patio overlooking the Hudson River. Location will be revealed only to guests. Seating is limited to preserve the intimacy of the setting.
You will be warmly received with a specialty Sichuan baijiu cocktail and a pairing from our partner, Ming River. Crafted by Luzhou Laojiao, China’s oldest continuously operating distillery since 1573, a batch of baijiu starts with locally harvested and fermented red sorghum grain. The spirits age for up to two years before a master blender balances them into Ming River’s distinctive bold flavor with notes of pineapple and anise followed by a long mellow finish.
Grandma's Traditional Chinese New Year Dinner:
A 3+Course Menu with Baijiu Cocktails
Scallion pancakes - layered, flaky and chewy-crunchy
Poached chicken - symbolic in its preparation
Buddha's Delight - 9+ Chinese vegetables, which we'll acquaint you with
Tapioca and sweet potato dessert - there's more to tapioca than what's inside your bubble tea

The Asian Pacific American (APA) population is seriously under represented on stage. “Our Perspective: Asian American Play Readings” is a staged play reading series intended to provide inspiration, space, and audiences for Midwest APA playwrights, directors, and actors. These are script-in-hand concert readings where actors read plays written and directed by Asian Americans. Presented by Asian Improv Arts Midwest’s AA Arts Incubator, “Our Perspective” is the first ever Asian American play reading series in the Midwest. These history making events are long overdue.
There are three readings in 2019. The first reading is of four brilliant short plays. Cast TBA.
READING ONE
Games by Susan H. Pak, Directed by Kaiser AhmedA highly ambitious, Korean American teen will stop at nothing to get into his dream university. He’s conquered his classes and mastered his prep tests, but can he triumph over Improv?
Yankee Princess by Preston Choi, Directed by Mia ParkThe arrival of half Korean high schooler Nancy Wilson disrupts the calm of a quaint 1960s American town. Though she and her "unconventional" family try to settle into the neighborhood, her identity, family history, and patriotism fall under scrutiny. Yankee Princess is a political coming of age story in the fallout of the Korean War. Following by Alvin Dantes, Directed by Giau TroungSam's girlfriend Jessie is having the time of her life at her friend Alex's birthday party. But Sam's paranoia gets the better of him and he starts stalking her on social media to find out what's really going on.
Black Box by Zhen E. Rammelsberg, Directed by Marie TredwayThree women of color share their adoption stories from birth to coming of age. Guided by a chorus of women as well as the mysterious Black Box, they use humor, tears, and forgiveness to understand who they are in white America.

American Basques or the Indians from Tlaxcala

Mexican Studies Seminar | Winter 2019

American Basques or the Indians from Tlaxcala

Featuring
José M. Portillo Valdés
Tinker Visiting Professor, CLAS, The University of Chicago
The University of the Basque Country

Fuero is a very well known concept for historians on both sides of the Spanish World, meaning special statute or privilege. It could be applied to the Church (fuero eclesiástico), to nobility (mayorazgo) or to cities (fuero municipal). Spanish and American historiography usually takes for granted that when applied to provinces or larger territories, Fuero was strictly European (Fuero de Aragón, Fuero de Navarra…). However, the complex process of legal miscegenation that followed the Castilian occupation of the New World produced some cases that Spanish and Spanish American political imagination interpreted also as provincial Fuero. That was the case of the Indian Province of Tlaxcala, whose inhabitants not surprisingly presented themselves as the Basques (Vizcaínos) of the New World.
This event is sponsored by the Center for Latin American Studies and the Katz Center for Mexican Studies at The University of Chicago.
Lunch will be provided for those who register in advance.

We welcome you to join our one-hour session on Chinese Tea, to learn the stories of tea, where it is grown, how it is picked and processed, different types of Chinese tea ware, and most importantly, to taste a few varieties of Chinese tea and observe the Chinese tea ritual.

The Rise of Feminism in China

Who:	World Affairs
Where:	312 Sutter Street Suite 200 San Francisco, CA Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

On the eve of International Women’s Day in 2015, the Chinese government arrested five feminist activists and jailed them for thirty-seven days. The Feminist Five drew global attention, with many politicians and activists speaking out on their behalf. The Five are, in fact, part of a larger feminist movement of civil rights lawyers, labor activists and online voices leading an unprecedented awakening among China’s educated, urban women. These young women do not want to play the role of traditional housewives—getting married and having children early is not their top priority. The Chinese government, however, is now urging women to do exactly that, while at the same time women’s participation rate in the Chinese labor market has been steadily declining since the 1990’s.
Despite these pressures working against gender equality, journalist and author Leta Hong Fincher argues that a popular broad-based feminist movement poses the greatest challenge to China’s governing regime today. In her new book “Betraying Big Brother”, she examines the rise of feminism in China, interviewing members of the Feminist Five and other leading Chinese activists. Hong Fincher explores both the difficulties and the progress on bringing issues of gender equality to light. How can the rise of feminism reconfigure China's political and social norms? What might China’s economic boom mean for the women's rights movement? Join Leta Hong Fincher to discuss these questions and her new book “Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China.”

Helen Zia, Journalist; Author, Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao’s Revolution (forthcoming)In Conversation with Ben Fong-Torres, Author, San Francisco Media Personality
On the eve of the People's Republic of China's 70th anniversary, journalist and author Helen Zia discusses the desperate exodus out of that country's biggest and most sophisticated city—a port so notorious that its name was synonymous with evildoing. Her new nonfiction book, Last Boat out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution, is the first English language account of this mass flight, an event that mirrors the Jews and other intellectuals fleeing Berlin as Hitler came to power and the frantic rush for evacuees to enter the American embassy as Saigon fell.
This is the history of a generation of Chinese intellectuals dispersed throughout the world. The story remained untold, even in China, until Zia interviewed more than 100 survivors of this late 1940s and early 1950s exodus. Many endured great hardship and nativist hostility, including the McCarthy inquisition in the United States, as they tried to find safety for themselves and their families. Their offspring include Maya Lin, I.M. Pei, Amy Tan, Steven Chu, Elaine Chao, David Henry Hwang, Chang-lin Tien, Gish Jen and many other notables.
Zia’s first book, Asian-American Dreams: The Emergence of an American People, was a groundbreaking history of Asian-Americans in the United States. A Fulbright scholar, she first visited China in 1972, just after President Nixon’s historic trip. As a journalist, she has covered Asian-American communities and social and political movements for decades. She is a former executive editor of Ms. magazine and graduate of Princeton University’s first coeducational class.

Who:	CIIS Public Programs

This event is part of The Haresh & Joan Shah Lecture & Peformance Series.
The Tabla—a pair of small drums—is the principle rhythmic instrument in the Hindustani music tradition of Northern India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Used in traditional, classical, pop, and folk music, the Tabla playing technique is complex and involves extensive use of the fingers and palms to create a wide variety of sounds and rhythms.
Nilan Chaudhuri has devoted his life to maintaining, preserving, and sharing the art of Indian Classical Tabla music with the world. The son of Maestro Swapan Chaudhuri and a disciple of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Nilan received his first Tabla lesson from his father at the age of five and presented his first concert at the age of eleven. Drawing on his father’s innovative and revolutionary approach to classical Tabla as well as jazz-fusion influences, Nilan has won awards for his unique cross- pollinations in eastern and western music and has performed with many Hindustani Classical Music legends.
For this concert, Nilan is joined by violinist, Raaginder Singh Momi. Hailing from the school of Maihar-Seni Gharana, Raaginder implements improvisation, rhythmic patterns and the sounds of Indian classical music on a modified five-string violin.
Join Nilan and Raaginder for a deep dive into the world of rhythm and classical Indian music.
Nilan Chaudhuri has performed as a Tabla soloist and accompanist for nearly twenty years. He has shared the stage with Hindustani Classical Music’s greatest treasures, such as maestros Alam Khan, Shujaat Khan, Ramesh Misra, and Amjad Ali Khansaib in a constantly growing list of prestigious venues, such as Carnegie Hall, The Fillmore, Fox Theater, and San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center. His collaborations also include crossover work with celebrated artists, Arjun Verma, Manik Khan, Gaayatri Kaundinya, Jack Perla, The Toronto Tabla Ensemble, members of Brooklyn Raga Massive, Dennis Chambers, Miles Schon, and DJ Teeko. In addition to maintaining a busy performing schedule, Nilan teaches Tabla throughout the Bay Area as a faculty member at the Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, and at Chitresh Das Institute in San Mateo.
Raaginder Singh Momi is a young upcoming violinist and music composer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Hailing from the school of Maihar-Seni gharana, Raaginder implements improvisation, rhythmic patterns and the sounds of Indian Classical music on a modified five-string violin. Raaginder brings forth lyrical and rhythmic sections whichstem from traditional elements while also infusing a modern touch. He studied at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) where he received his BFA in World Music Performance. Raaginder has performed in prominent venues all over the world such as The White House, Staples Center, Wembley arena and many more. Through these endeavors and experiences, Raaginder's art will always bring new, intense, and interesting types of music for his audiences to hear.

The 10th Japanese Sake Tasting Dinner in OC! $100/person(not including tax & gratuity)

Who:	Ippei Suzuki
Where:	18507 Yorba Linda Boulevard Yorba Linda, CA Warning: Undefined array key "postalcode" in /home/sites/asianloop/www.asianloop.com/htdocs/events/index.htm on line 275

A new year, 2019 has arrived, and we are celebrating our 10th Sake Tasting Event as for a great start!

Again, we are collaborating with the top-rated Japanese restaurant in Orange County, Sushi Noguchi in Yorba Linda. Now becoming a tradition, we will prepare 5 different brands of Japanese Sake each paired with an Omakase menu Chef Noguchi has prepared specially for this night.

The Sake brands are imported directly from Japan, all of them unavailable through normal distribution channels in the US. They have been carefully selected from very small breweries scattered all across Japan, where I have personally visited each brewery and spoke with the owner and brew master.

Just like boutique wineries who choose to craft their wine with only local ingredients, regional Japanese Sake manufacturers focuses on its local heritage. The land, water, rice, climate and the culture in each region. It is all found in a small glass of Sake.

Many of these Sake breweries are more than 100 years old, preserving its original quality and method only to protect the legacy culture unique to its region.

Also, this is the very reason why they cannot mass produce, hence, it is difficult to find them outside of their region, even in Japan.  Instead, you will find an extremely unique flavor in each one of them, and when they are paired with the local food that each region delivers, the marriage is even more outstanding!  I will explain in detail, the background of each Sake brand, where it comes from, the region's climate, and the local food that is enjoyed together.

This will be great for a date night to learn how to enjoy Sake together, or a great learning experience on how Sake is produced, how to pair it with any type of food you like.
