Digital Media and Press Freedom in the Era of Big Tech: A case study on China
On Friday, February 1st the Tow Center for Digital Journalism and the Committee to Protect Journalists will host a half-day symposium to discuss the best research and guides related to digital media and press freedom in China in the era of big tech. The symposium will consist of three panel discussions on the state of digital media in China, the role of tech platforms, and China's authoritarian influence on free expression around the globe, respectively. Tow Center Researchers Mia Shuang Li and Emilie Xie will present preliminary research results on the WeChat-based “self media” phenomenon and the black box news personalization algorithms of China’s leading news aggregators.
Panel 1: New challenges to press freedom in the age of digital media The age of digital media has created both opportunities and problems for journalism. New technology in digital publishing and advertising allows journalists to instantly reach audiences, but it also allows governments to deploy innovative censorship tactics. This panel will examine how going digital is changing the media landscape in China, and what it means to protect of press freedom. Moderated by: Mia Shuang Li, Tow Center Panelists: Joanna Chiu, Veteran China correspondent Qiao Mu, China Media Analyst Rebecca Davis, Beijing Correspondent@AFP
Panel 2: Practices and power of tech platforms As news consumption becomes increasingly digital and mobile, big tech firms and platforms have increasingly consolidated power over what news stories consumers read and talk about. In China, the political and economic power of big tech platforms such as Tencent adds a fascinating dimension to the traditional state-censor-versus-newsroom dynamic. How much power over the news do China's big tech firms have, and what are their practices around it? Can they serve the state censors, their shareholders, and users at the same time? Are they friend or foe when it comes to press protection? Moderated by: Emilie Xie, Columbia Journalism School Panelists: Jonathan Hassid, Iowa State University Jason Ng, Citizen Lab Rongbin Ha, University of Georgia Angela Wu, New York University
Panel 3: China's authoritarian influence on free expression around the globe From Chairman Xi’s talk on “cyber sovereignty” in Brazil to China’s “digital silk road” initiative, China's authoritarian influence on online expression is expanding beyond its borders. As it does, the global tech sector is becoming increasingly connected, with Chinese investment entering Silicon Valley and global tech firms looking to data-mine in China. This panel aims to shed light on potential exports of China’s model of Internet control, and ensuing consequences for global online expression and press freedom. Moderated by Emily Bell, Tow Center Panelists: Howard French, Columbia University Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian, Foreign Policy

Welcome to Host Stella's Chinese New Year Dumpling Party! DATE: Friday, February 1st TIME: 5:30pm LOCATION: Arts District RSVP on Kitchen Table App (make sure to click this on your iPhone) here.
ABOUT YOUR HOST: Hi! I'm Stella. I'm a native Angeleno and love eating healthy and delicious foods from all over the world. I help men and women get out of their heads and into their body to get in touch with their sensuality... and beautifully prepared food is definitely a feast for all of our senses. I'm a healing artist that uses food, music, dance, and meditation to nourish people from the inside out. I hope you'll join us for our next meal. Stella grew up with her aunties and uncles coming over and everyone gathered around the table to wrap dumplings together while chit-chatting and then cooking them together and enjoying them for dinner. You'll help her continue this fond childhood tradition :)
ABOUT THIS GATHERING: Happy Chinese New Year! Dumplings are a symbol of wealth so if you're calling in more cheddah this year, what better way than to make it and let it nourish you through the art of dumpling wrapping! You'll learn how to make the "stuffing" for the dumpling (vegetarian/vegan + meat versions will be available) and then enjoy wrapping them, then boiling or pan-frying for potstickers! Wraps will be made of flour. Unfortunately Chinese gluten-free dumpling wraps don't exist yet. So please make a note if you're gluten-free.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Once you RSVP, you’ll receive address, parking instructions, and contact info from your Host. Please be sure to arrive on time. If you can't make it, please let us know. We understand that things come up, but please try your best to keep your commitment. Thank you so much. Love, Kitchen Table Team

About Yin Yin operates the "Five Spice Tour of Philly's Chinatown" - cultural walking tour with dim sum tastings, and restaurant hopping tours to Philly Chinatown. As a dumpling expert, she hosts classes and competitions based on the iconic food. She has worked in City Kitchen for the dumpling making show at the Reading Terminal Market as its guest for Chinese New Year. Yin was also interviewed by “What’s Cooking” on 1060 by Hadas Kuznits, of the Philadelphia (CBS) KYW radio station about Chinese New Year. In early 2017, she was invited by the show, Travel & Adventure, to host a dumpling making show in the PA Convention Center. Photo Taken During One of Five-Spice Tours of Philly Chinatown/Dim Sum Tasting "Yin did such a wonderful job during our Chinese New Year celebration and was so engaging. After the fun and exciting dumpling demo for the Chinese New Year, we all thought Yin would be great person to have back for this event." - From Reading Terminal Market. Photo Taken During Dumpling Making Show for the Chinese New Year Celebration at Reading Terminal Market on Feb 4th, 2017 In summer, 2017, Yin was invited by the Reading Terminal Market to participate in an important community project - The Breaking Bred, Breaking Barriers dinner project. Yin represented the Chinese community to present Chinese iconic food to other ethnical groups. More specifically, she performed a dumpling making demonstration and brought the most popular street food in China, the Chinese Crepe, to the Philly market for the first time ever. Photo with our guests during the dumpling making demonstration at City Kitchen, Reading Terminal Market on June 5th, 2017
Yin was doing the demo for Chinese Crepe, the most popular street food in China on September 13, 2017 at City Kitchen, Reading Terminal Market The Breaking Bread, Breaking Barriers dinner project, funded by Knight Foundation, brings together individuals from different cultures to sample each other’s cuisines and learn more about each other, to see what they might have in common. The project parties include the Reading Terminal Market, HIAS-PA, Philadelphia’s Human Relations Commission and the UPENN Project for Civic Engagement. On June 5th, Reading Terminal invited three communities – the Chinese, the Mexican, and the Mummers, to get to know one another better through this forum, by learning about each other’s culture through food. We were honored to be invited to represent the Chinese community. Each community, through a guest chef, provided an interactive cooking demonstration of one to two dishes that can be used to highlight one’s culture, history, and communal stories. They then sat down to have dinner to engage in a dialogue facilitated by the Human Relations Commission. The idea is that the participants walk away from the session with a foundational understanding of one another’s culture and history.
Photo with Mayor Jim Kearny, General Manager from Reading Terminal Market, Anuj Gupton, and community leaders from the event on June 5th, 2017 On September 14, 2017, Yin assisted Master Chef Joseph Poon from Chef Joseph Poon Creations and Events during 2nd Annual PAAFF (Philadelphia Asian Arts Film Festival) Asian Chef Experience highlighting the top Asian culinary talents in Philadelphia. This was a special Chef tasting event with 14 of Philadelphia's most prominent Asian American & Pacific Islander Chefs preparing tasting sized portions of their best dishes. This event serves as an important fundraising tool for 2017 Philadelphia Asian Arts Film Festival while also highlighting the incredible talent and diversity of cuisine within the local community of culinary artists. Yin founded Five-Spice Philly and Dumpling Academy. Five-Spice Philly is an organization dedicated to the service of showcasing Philadelphia’s thriving Asian food scene. It seeks to bring Philadelphia residents and all incoming visitors the latest in Philadelphia’s cuisine and entertainment. www.DumplingAcademy.com

Painters must be at least 12 years old attend. Arrive 10-15 minutes before the start of the session to check in with the front desk, snack, and get settled. Please call if running a little late. Late painters beyond 30 min. w/o notice cannot participate and, along with day-of cancellations and no-shows, will not be refunded. Painters must paint what they signed up for. If you do not wish to paint the above piece, please DO NOT register for it. If this occurs, it will be treated as a "no-show", with no refund; you may, however, reschedule for another painting being offered by KNK. For Military and Student Discounts (15% off subtotal), please register in-store or call 412-787-5790. In-store registration requires an ID to receive discount. Phone registrations will need to present their ID at check-in on the day of the class to maintain the discount. Lack of ID will result in a charge of the difference.
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event? In general, our canvas sessions are for ages 6 and up, but may change occasionally based on difficulty level. The Adult Paint & Sip sessions are strictly for adults 18 and over, with 21 years being the age for those who want to bring and consume alcoholic beverages. We will card at adult sessions for age; we will card for proof of military or college affiliation for ALL discounted reservations. Failure to provide the proper ID will result in cancellation of your spot with NO refund in the case of Adult Paint & Sip sessions, since it's technically a "day-of" cancellation. Failure to provide proper military or college ID for any session under a discount will result in the customer paying the difference; failure to comply will lead to being asked to leave. How can I contact the organizer with any questions? The Studio's phone number is 412-787-5790; the e-mail is kolornkiln@gmail.com. What's the refund policy? Refunds are given if you cancel the day prior to the event if something comes up and you can't make it. You may also pick another painting to attend. Day-of cancellations and no-show/absent painters will not be refunded. Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? It's great if you have it, but it's not a requirement as we record the attendees names on a roster prior to the day of the session.

According to legend the Jade Empreror said the order would be decided by the timing of the animals arrival to his party. The pig was extremely late- last and thus is his placement. The Pig is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì zhī) hài (亥), and the hours 9–11 in the night. In terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Pig is yin. In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth. The pig symbolizes such characteristic traits as diligence, compassion and generosity. Pigs enjoy entertaining and life in general and others enjoy their company. Pigs tend to indulge a little too much in just about everything. Pigs are profoundly giving and enjoy helping others, sometimes a little too much. Pigs are all about honesty and expect the same in return.

Far greater than just China, the new Asian system taking shape is a multi-civilizational order spanning Saudi Arabia to Japan, Russia to Australia, Turkey to Indonesia—linking five billion people through trade, finance, infrastructure, and diplomatic networks that together represent 40 percent of global GDP. There is no more important region of the world for us to better understand than Asia—and thus we cannot afford to keep getting Asia so wrong. How exactly is the world being "Asianized"? Is the region returning to centuries-old patterns that thrived before European colonialism and American dominance?

Korean Barbecue (called Gogigui in Korean) refers to the roasting of beef, pork or chicken or other meats. Dishes are often prepared at the diner's table on small gas or charcoal grills. It is a unique dining experience and is fun and a very social way to enjoy a meal.
You will learn how to make Bulgogi (the marinated beef & pork that you will BBQ), Korean Pancake, Japchae (Korean starch noodles), and several banchan (side dishes). Side dishes for Korean Cuisine are not decoration or appetizers, but an essential part of the meal. Banchan can include Kimchi, Green Chili Pepper Pickles (Gochu Jangajji), Soy-and-Sesame Spinach (Sigeumchi Muchim), Seasoned Bean Sprouts (Kongnamul Muchim), Toasted Seaweed (Gim), Soy-Marinated Eggplant (Gaji Namul), and more. These Banchan dishes complete the flavors of the meal. Maricel's Korean BBQ Class is a perfect way to learn and taste at your own pace. Whether you are a Korean BBQ aficionado or a first timer Maricel walk you through all the dishes and side dishes (banchan). This is a hands on experience and one that is perfect for an afternoon with friends. Come hungry as you will be making a lot of food.

Course Description: Global Medical Device Regulations continue to evolve, as devices become more diverse and sophisticated. Understanding the regulations and requirements in your targeted markets will expedite speed-to-market of innovative products and assist patients needing access to life-saving products and technologies.

One such example is the Medical Device Single Audit Program [MDSAP], where Authorized Organizations would be allowed to carry out a single GMP audit on medical device manufacturing facilities and have it stand to support registrations across the current participating member countries: U.S. Canada, Brazil, Australia and Japan.

In a new book, Blaming China: It Might Feel Good but it Won’t Fix America’s Economy, author Benjamin Shobert explains how many of the issues raised during the campaign, and general U.S. anxiety about a rising China, is misplaced. According to Mr. Shobert, China has become an easy target for Americans to project their frustrations with the overall political dysfunction, economic difficulties, and foreign policy blunders since 9/11, much of which actually has nothing to do with China. Join us in a conversation with Mr. Shobert on Thursday, February 7, 2019, from 5:30-7:00 pm at Seattle University, 1215 East Columbia Street, Seattle, WA 98122. Sponsor

GSU ensemble in residence Bent Frequency will bring Pulitzer-Prize winning composer, performer, and sound artist Du Yun to campus for a four-day residency in early 2019 for a Chinese New Year celebration. This residency is sponsored by the GSU College of the Arts (COTA), School of Music, and Confucius Institute. Du Yun has been hailed by The New York Times as "a leading figure in China’s new generation of composers” and “an indie pop diva with an avant-garde edge.” This will be the fourth time in recent years that GSU has hosted a Pulitzer-Prize winning composer on campus. During her residency, Du Yun and Bent Frequency will present a culminating Chinese New (Y)Ear concert featuring Du Yun as composer and performer in Kopleff Recital Hall on February 7, 2019. In addition, Du Yun will present a masterclass for the composition students, a creative project workshop with the Creative Music Ensemble, and will coach student chamber ensembles in an open rehearsal/workshop environment. Du Yun will give an public lecture on her artistic work for both the COTA and Atlanta communities and will give a Global Presentation Series lecture in collaboration with the Confucius Institute and the Office of International Initiatives for the campus-wide and Atlanta communities. Since her work blurs the lines between composition, sound art, and performance art, her presentation on her artistic work and Chinese heritage will be geared not just to music students, but students of all disciplines within COTA and the university. All events will be free and open to the public.

The organization currently has lodges in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Boston, Montreal, Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. The strength of the non-profit and non-political organization comes from its highly qualified members and their determination to build on its mission of Fellowship and Service. About PennYo PennYo is America's First Collegiate Chinese A Capella group, founded in 2002 by a group of students bonded together by their passion for singing Chinese songs. Since then, the group has grown to become a well-recognized collegiate a cappella group and has gained a following of fans and supporters at the University of Pennsylvania and beyond. They draw their material mainly from contemporary Chinese pop music. Past FF CNY Banquets

CHINA CATS Performing for nearly a decade and nearly 200 shows, China Cats continues the musical tradition of the Grateful Dead while throwing a new kind of gasoline on the fire. On any given night the band will play songs from throughout the Dead’s 30-year repertoire. Their joy and enthusiasm for making music together is so contagious that the band has featured guest appearances from Grateful Dead alum, including original member Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay.* Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band has joined the band on numerous occasions since 2013. China Cats performs throughout California including a recent series at Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, which belongs to Dead bassist Phil Lesh. Each performance is a new, communal journey. Band members seek out a unique style and sound while paying homage to the spirit of the Dead. Matt Hartle brings experience from collaborations with Dead-family musicians including Henry Kaiser, Michael Kang (String Cheese Incident), and is a current member of Painted Mandolin with former Garcia-Grisman instrumentalist Joe Craven. Rhythm guitarist Scott Cooper has recorded with members of Little Feat, Galactic, David Nelson Band, New Riders. His debut solo CD reached #5 on the Relix jam band radio charts. Steve regularly plays keys in Stu Allen & Mars Hotel. Roger formerly played bass in David Gans & the Sycamore Slough String Band and has performed with artists such as Frank Wakefield. Michael is an in-demand drummer who is versed in New Orleans, jazz, reggae and African styles. TALLEY UP! Talley Up! is a psychedelic New Orleans funk band featuring some of the finest players in Marin County, Ca including bandleader Jim Talley (Bob Weir, Eric McFadden, Karl Denson, Stu Allen) on keyboards and lead vocals, Tom Finch (Big Brother & the Holding Co., Pamela Parker, SF Airship) on guitar and vocals, Michael Pinkham (New Monsoon, Scott Law, Albino) on drums, Jen Rund ( Stu Allen, Mark Karan, The Real Sarahs) on bass and vocals as well as regular special guest Aaron Saul (George Clinton, Soul Ska, Vinyl) on alto sax. The band has released their first cd entitled “Funky Alchemy”. Recorded 24 track live at 19 Broadway in Fairfax by ace live recordist Bob Cogswell the 9 song 74 minute cd showcases the band’s instrumental songs and their amazing alchemy of funky improvisation and telepathic musical interplay. The current focus in the band are the vocals with 3 part harmonies. Mixing funky originals by Jim Talley with New Orleans classic hits from the Meters, Dr. John, Neville Bros., Allen Toussaint, Dumpstaphunk, Jon Cleary and Little Feat among others the band constantly stretches the limits of New Orleans funk to find new musical destinations and discoveries. Talley Up! brings together the dance mania that is New Orleans funk with extraordinary improvisation skills to take the music and the audience to higher realms with each successive show!

This conference, open to the public, will bring together leading experts on the EU and Asia to discuss different aspects of the EU's relations with Asia—the historical connections, economic development, political considerations, and diplomacy. Such an examination is timely, given that Asia has gained rising importance on the world stage, while the EU is facing mounting internal and external challenges. We center our workshop on the historical-cultural relations, and economic and political cooperation with nations in Central, South, Southeast and East Asia. The latter is particularly important due to the recently signed EU-Japan FTA, the existing EU-South Korea FTA, the important role China played in the aftermath of the 2008 Global Recession and 2010 Eurozone Crisis, and the emergence of China as a global leader amid the retreat of the U.S. on some key issues. This conference will enable us to analyze the EU’s Asia policies, and the opportunities and challenges it entails, especially amid the shift of global order toward a more multipolar world..

The Archaeology of Colors: Polychromy and Classical Chinese Bronze Art

The Archaeology of Colors: Polychromy and Classical Chinese Bronze ArtAllison Miller, ISAW Visiting Research Scholar Allison Miller specializes in Chinese art and archaeology. She holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2011) in East Asian Languages and Civilizations (EALC) and Art History and an A.B. from the University of Chicago (2003) in Classics and EALC. She is currently Associate Professor of Art History at Southwestern University near Austin, Texas. Her research has been supported by Harvard’s Asia and Fairbank Centers and the Fulbright Foundation. She was also a 2017-2018 lecturer for the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA). As an art historian with an interdisciplinary approach, Miller’s research investigates the relationship of visual forms to political history and contexts of artistic production. Her forthcoming book, Kingly Splendor: Materiality and Royal Art in Han China, highlights the important role played by elites outside of the capital region in stimulating five important transitions in early Han funerary art: 1) rock-cut tombs, 2) miniature terracotta armies, 3) jade suits, 4) wall murals, and 5) purple dyes and pigments. The study shows how the structure of the early Han empire—with the emperor as one amongst peers—profited artistic production in a way that would not occur after the empire became more centralized, resulting in the development of artistic genres that would form the basis of Chinese funerary art for the remainder of pre-modern Chinese history. During her time at ISAW, Miller will write a history of color in ancient China. She will investigate the chief dyes and pigments used in China’s antiquity, the process by which they were acquired and produced, and the meanings associated with specific colors. The project will reveal not only the ways that the Chinese cultivated and utilized their own mineral and vegetal resources, but also the dynamic impact of long-distance trade and exchange on early imperial Chinese society.
Unless otherwise indicated, public events sponsored by ISAW take place on the first or second floor of our building. Both floors are accessible by elevator from our entry lobby, and an ADA-compliant bathroom is available in the basement level, which is also accessible by elevator.

Dr. Parag Khanna will present insights from his latest book, The Future is Asian: Commerce, Conflict and Culture in the 21st Century. The Future is Asian presents the irrepressible Asianization of the world through detailed analysis, data and maps of Asia’s major markets and their combined impact on global economy, society and governance. Asia used to produce for the West; now the West produces for Asia. The world has grown accustomed to hearing 'America first". Is it ready for 'Asia first'? With his intimate knowledge of Asian history and geopolitics, he paints a compelling vision of a balanced global system of shared responsibilities across America, Europe and Asia. Following on the heels of his pioneering trilogy that concluded with the revolutionary Connectography (2016), The Future is Asian will similarly serve as a global strategic roadmap for decades to come. Parag Khanna is Founder & Managing Partner of FutureMap, a data and scenario based strategic advisory firm. He is the international bestselling author of six books, has traveled to most of the countries of the world, and holds a PhD from the London School of Economics.

As we mark the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 25th anniversary of the Bangkok Declaration (a foundational document of the “Asian values” version of human rights), and nearly three decades since the People’s Republic of China officially accepted universal human rights, this symposium brings together leading experts to examine the state of human rights in China. Across and around China, many phenomena raise significant human rights concerns. In much of China, a more illiberal political climate under Xi Jinping, crackdowns on human rights lawyers and unauthorized religious groups, new limits on nongovernmental organizations, and an increasingly pervasive surveillance state; in Xinjiang, detention and internment of Uyghurs on a massive scale, and mounting state-created threats to ethnic and Muslim identity; in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, growing intervention by the central government and threats to Hong Kong’s promised autonomy, and stifling of democratic reform and prosecution of pro-democracy leaders; and, across the Taiwan Strait, renewed emphasis on contrasting human rights conditions on the island and in the Chinese mainland amid Beijing’s renewed squeeze of Taiwan’s international space and pressure for unification. Panel I (9:30-11:30am): Human Rights and Greater China Jerome Cohen (Professor of Law, New York University)Michael Davis (Professor of Law and International Affairs, Jindal Global University, and Fellow at the Asia Program, Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, Wilson Center)Jacques deLisle (Stephen A.

Ever since Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017, the world is perhaps witnessing the most intensified relations between China and the United States, the two giant powers of the world. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations of the two countries, but it only brings more question to the future of the bilateral relations: will China and the U.S. be able to return to the past? Or will such relation evolve into a new status quo that no one can predict? This time, the Committee on China-U.S. Dialogue is honored to have Professor Shi Yinhong (时殷弘), Counselor of the State Council of People's Republic of China, and Professor of International Relations at Renmin University of China in Beijing, to host a lecture on the evolution and rivalry of China-U.S. relations in the recent past, present and future.

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.

"What if, twenty-five or thirty years from now, a wealthier, more powerful China continues to be run by a one-party regime that still represses organized political dissent much as it does today? ... What if, in other words, China becomes fully integrated into the world’s economy, yet it remains also entirely undemocratic?" James Mann, the author of the book "China Fantasy", asked the above question to his readers, contemplating about a rising China without democratic institutions and political modernization. Today, it seems such Mann's China has become true. The other question to the China problem is how did the United States contributed to China's undemocratic rise and could the United States be held accountable for it? Should the United States revise its engagement policy toward China and pose a harsher stance to the leaders in Beijing? In this Dialogue China monthly panel discussion, we bring you Mr. James Mann and Mr. Wang Juntao as our speakers on the question of engaging with China. Mr. Wang Dan, the Director of Dialogue China, will moderate the discussion in person. Speakers James Mann James Mann is a Washington-based author who has written a series of award-winning books about American foreign policy and about China. He is a former newspaper reporter, foreign correspondent, and columnist who wrote for more than twenty years for the Los Angeles Times. He is now an author-in-residence at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies Wang Juntao Wang Juntao is a Chinese political dissent and the founder of the China Democracy Party based in New York. He was accused by the Chinese government as the "black hands" behind the 1989 Democracy Movement. Wang was released from prison and exile to the United States in 1994. He graduated with degrees from Harvard University and Columbia University. Moderator Uerkesh Davlet a.k.a Wu'er Kaixi Uerkesh was a Chinese Uyghur student leader during the 1989 Democracy Movement.

Abstract: Deregulation by Code/Law: Redesigning Digital Payments Market in India At an event organized by The IndUS Entrepreneurs in August 2015, Nandan Nilekani offered this provocation: ‘are we at a WhatsApp Moment in finance?’ In this paper, I explore the meaning and significance of the notion of ‘WhatsApp moment’ in Indian banking, and document how the conditions of actualization of this moment have been produced through a series of policy-legislative changes on one hand, and introduction of enabling software infrastructure for digital payments on the other.
I argue that the 'WhatsApp moment' refers to the _unbundling_ of an industry. Here, unbundling indicates at breaking up of an in1dustry into separate constituting parts that can then be turned into independent, and often differently regulated, sub-industries of their own. In the Indian banking context, I study how (digital) payments as a service formerly offered by established banks and some telecommunication companies got separated out from the larger industry of banking and financial services to become an industry in itself, which saw rapid entry of various new payments processing companies - from Alibaba-linked PayTM, to payments apps from e-commerce giants (Amazon Pay and Walmart-owned PhonePe), to payments apps from mobile device/OS companies (Samsung Pay and Google Pay). I trace how specific changes in policy design (for digital financial inclusion) and technological design (of national payments systems) came together to reconfigure the digital payments market in India and to produce a newly regulated marketplace of competing digital payments players. This techno-legal redesigning of the market for digital payments services has led to general deregulation but not without introducing various regulatory controls(-by-design). I will conclude the paper with a discussion of these controls and their implementation through technical/legal design decisions, and contradictions thereof.

SAIS China Forum The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China? Speaker: Dr. Nicolas Lardy, Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economic Moderator: Professor Carla Freeman, Director, SAIS Foreign Policy Institute China’s extraordinarily rapid economic growth since 1978, driven by market-oriented reforms, has set world records and continued unabated, despite predictions of an inevitable slowdown. In The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China? renowned China scholar Nicholas R. Lardy argues that China’s future growth prospects are shadowed by the specter of resurgent state dominance, which has begun to diminish the vital role of the market and private firms in China’s economy. Lardy’s book is a timely sequel to his path-breaking 2014 book, Markets Over Mao: The Rise of Private Business in China. This new book mobilizes new data to trace how President Xi Jinping has consistently championed state-owned or controlled enterprises, encouraging local political leaders and financial institutions to prop up ailing, underperforming companies that are a drag on China’s potential. As with his previous work, Lardy’s perspective departs from conventional wisdom, especially in his contention that China could achieve a high growth rate for the next two decades―if it reverses course and returns to the path of market-oriented reforms.

Join us for a traditional 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. 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 thoroughly enjoy a bowl of matcha tea and seasonal wagashi, a traditional Japanese sweet. Tea ceremonies in February and March will feature a special handmade wagashi, using recipes from our upcoming cookbook "The Art of Wagashi: Recipes for Japanese Sweets that Delight the Palate and the Eyes" written by Japan House founder Kimiko Gunji. The cookbook will be featured, and available for purchase at our Spring Open House on April 6th. Feb 6 - Kangori Feb 20 - Kintsubayaki
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.
FAQs Is my registration/ticket transferrable? Yes, if space allows, you may transfer your registration to a different event.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? You do not have to bring your ticket. We will just need your name.

FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; LIVESTREAM AVAILABLE; THIS PAGE IS FOR LIVESTREAM REGISTRATION ONLY. TO REGISTER IN-PERSON, CLICK HERE. Sponsored by Columbia Population Research Center About the Seminar While the battle over affirmative action has raged for decades, only recently have Asian Americans featured prominently in that debate. In November 2014, the Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) filed a lawsuit against Harvard, alleging alleging that it violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by engaging in race-based discrimination against Asian Americans in its admissions process. SFFA is advocating for the end of affirmative action, and a decision is expected in early 2019. Professor of Sociology Jennifer Lee, PhD (bio), and Assistant Professor of Sociology Van C. Tran, PhD (bio), seek to address two questions: First, where do Asian Americans position themselves in the debate over affirmative action compared to White, Black, and Latino Americans? Second, what are the social and psychological drivers of their support? They show how self-interest, linked fate, and a sense of “moral deservingness” affect Asian Americans’ support for a policy that has often been framed as one that harms their self- and group interests.

In this informative class, you will learn how to make four very different and delicious regional dals and a lentil chutney from India. You will work with spices common in Indian cuisine, and learn to enhance the flavor of spices by making a tarka (spices fried in oil or ghee).

Feel free to message me for any details.大家好，这是一个面向中国人与会讲中文的老外的喜剧脱口秀活动！基本上是这么个形式：任何人都可以上台讲五分钟段子，也可以只来捧场当观众。因为本场地是KTV，所以讲完段子之后还可以唱歌！

Parag Khanna, Ph.D., Managing Partner, FutureMap; Former Fellow, Brookings Institution and New America; Author, The Future Is Asian: Commerce, Conflict and Culture in the 21st CenturyIn Conversation with Margaret Conley, Executive Director, Asia Society of Northern California Parag Khanna says there is no more important region of the world for us to better understand than Asia, and thus, we cannot afford to keep getting Asia so wrong. He says Asia’s complexity has led to common misdiagnoses, namely that western thinking on Asia conflates the entire region with China, predicts imminent World War III around every corner and regularly forecasts debt-driven collapse for the region’s major economies. Khanna says that, in reality, the region is experiencing a confident new wave of growth led by younger societies from India to the Philippines, that nationalist leaders have put aside territorial disputes in favor of integration, and today’s infrastructure investments are the platform for the next generation of digital innovation. Khanna asserts that in the 19th century, the world was Europeanized; in the 20th century, it was Americanized; and now, in the 21st century, the world is being Asianized. He says far greater than just China, the new Asian system taking shape is a multi-civilizational order spanning from Saudi Arabia to Japan, Russia to Australia, Turkey to Indonesia—linking five billion people through trade, finance, infrastructure and diplomatic networks that together represent 40 percent of global GDP. Khanna says Asia is rapidly returning to the centuries-old patterns of commerce, conflict and cultural exchange that thrived long before European colonialism and American dominance. He will detail his view that as Asia determines its own future, it will determine ours as well. Born in India, Khanna is the international best-selling author of six books, has traveled to most of the countries of the world, and holds a doctorate from the London School of Economics and master’s degrees from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He is a contributor to CNN, a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum and has also been an adviser to the U.S. National Intelligence Council.

www.zenshuidesigns.com The Boar's Tale" The Boar is often translated as the pig, a strong animal known for his intelligence. A Classic Chinese tale tells of a smart pig who refused to work for the farmer who owned him. All the other animals labored: Ox plowed the field, Cat chased away the Rat, Horse pulled a cart, Monkey carried the farmers son to school on his back, Rooster crowed at dawn and Hen produced eggs, and Dog kept guard. But Pig just ate and slept -- ate and slept. Pig even complained about the quality of his food. Pig realized that he would have food whether he worked or not, so why bother to contribute? When Pig least expected it, the farmer sold him and his life of contentment ended. In this way, smart pig defeated himself through his own cleverness.

Named one of the top ten Parades in the world by International Festivals & Events Association, the Southwest Airlines Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco is one of the few remaining night illuminated Parades in North America and the biggest parade celebrating the lunar new year outside of Asia. Started in the 1860's by the Chinese in San Francisco as a means to educate the community about their culture, the Parade and Festival have grown to be the largest celebration of Asian culture outside of Asia. Since 1958, the parade has been under the direction of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Over 100 units will participate in the Southwest Airlines® Chinese New Year Parade. A San Francisco tradition since just after the Gold Rush, the parade continues to delight and entertain the many hundreds of thousands of people who come to watch it on the street or tune in to watch it on television on KTVU Fox 2 or KTSF Channel 26, 6:00-8:00 PM, on Saturday, February 23, 2019.Nowhere in the world will you see a lunar new year parade with more gorgeous floats, elaborate costumes, ferocious lions, exploding firecrackers, and of course the newly crowned Miss Chinatown U.S.A. and her court. A crowd favorite will be the new & spectacular 288' Golden Dragon ("Gum Lung"). It takes a team of over 180 men and women from the martial arts group, White Crane, to carry the Golden Dragon through the streets of San Francisco.This year's Southwest Airlines® Chinese New Year Parade promises to warm your heart and electrify your senses, come rain or stars.
Please Note: This is a smoke free event.

Korean food is a defining element of their culture, which is directly related to Korea's environment, the country's location, its geography, and climate. Until the 20th century, Korea was a rural, farming society with a good deal of wild food gathering. Farmers worked hard to intensively cultivate the land. As a result, Korean food tends to be hearty, much more so than in neighboring Japan or China. Master popular Korean foods as part of your February Bucket List. Chef Sunisa will provide the precise instructions on what it takes to perfect Bulgogi, Korean BBQ, Bibimbap (a Korean rice bowl mix), along with a selection of vegetables as sides.

The Passage to India Book Club led by Georgia Court. This special book club will be discussing The Secrets Between Us by Thrity Umrigar. Bhima, the unforgettable main character of Thrity Umrigar’s beloved national bestseller The Space Between Us, returns in this triumphant sequel—a poignant and compelling novel in which the former servant struggles against the circumstances of class and misfortune to forge a new path for herself and her granddaughter in modern India. "It isn’t the words we speak that make us who we are. Or even the deeds we do. It is the secrets buried in our hearts." Poor and illiterate, Bhima had faithfully worked for the Dubash family, an upper-middle-class Parsi household, for more than twenty years. Yet after courageously speaking the truth about a heinous crime perpetrated against her own family, the devoted servant was cruelly fired. The sting of that dismissal was made more painful coming from Sera Dubash, the temperamental employer who had long been Bhima’s only confidante. A woman who has endured despair and loss with stoicism, Bhima must now find some other way to support herself and her granddaughter, Maya. Bhima’s fortunes take an unexpected turn when her path intersects with Parvati, a bitter, taciturn older woman. The two acquaintances soon form a tentative business partnership, selling fruits and vegetables at the local market. As they work together, these two women seemingly bound by fate grow closer, each confessing the truth about their lives and the wounds that haunt them. Discovering her first true friend, Bhima pieces together a new life, and together, the two women learn to stand on their own. A dazzling story of gender, strength, friendship, and second chances, The Secrets Between Us is a powerful and perceptive novel that brilliantly evokes the complexities of life in modern India and the harsh realities faced by women born without privilege as they struggle to survive.

The Rise of Chinese Fintech

This event has been rescheduled from February 6 to February 25. If you previously registered to attend, please register again.
John Mahoney (Co-Chair of Global FIG, Goldman Sachs) in conversation with Todd H. Baker (Senior Fellow, Richman Center) China has the largest fintech ecosystem in the world today, dominated by giants like Ant, Alipay, Baidu, and Ping An but also with a host of startups penetrating underserved markets within the country and beyond. The volume of fintechpayments in China grew 74 times between 2010 and 2016, online loan balances grew more than 36 times between 2013 and 2016, and according to KPMG and H2, five of the world's top ten fintech firms in 2017 were Chinese. China's open regulatory environment has supported this growth largely outside of the traditional—and heavily regulated—banking sector, although this trend may be showing signs of change. Moreover, fintech innovation has benefited from government and consumer support for personal and financial data sharing, as well as limited personal privacy. John Mahoney, Co-Chair of Global FIG at Goldman Sachs and previously head of Goldman's Asian FIG practice, had a front-row seat to these remarkable developments from his office in Hong Kong. Joined by Todd H. Baker, Mahoney will discuss the rise of Chinesefintech and the lessons it holds for the United States.
Light dinner and refreshments will be served. This event is open to the public and on the record. Registration is required.

Hi, I‘m Yinong, Welcome to 5001! WHAT IS 5001?5001RealStories is a storytelling project initiated by CFoo4Thought in an effort to celebrate diversity and foster empathy around the world. Born with Chinese genes and nurtured in a multicultural world, we are passionate about sharing real stories of real people from an intercultural perspective. We respect differences and cherish individual uniqueness. We believe real stories matter, including yours and mine. WHY 5001?5000 is a magic number for Chinese people - it’s a symbol of our long-standing history and rich culture which we are proud of. "Plus one" has two layers of meaning. Firstly, it represents we the new generation, who are shaping the present and building the future of China. Secondly, it stands for individual. Our goal is indeed to tell 5001 stories of real people. We believe every single person’s story matters and there is no one standard that applies to all. We want to empower more people not to be the product of certain cultural conditioning, but see outside the bubble and be a life of their own making. You can find published stories here: www.cfood4thought.com More is coming. FOR THIS MEETUPThis is a small meetup for mandarin learners who are at an intermediate or advanced level. We will read 1 real story/interview together each time (in Chinese) and talk about the topic/issue behind the story, or whatever resonates in your mind. This is not a class setting but I'm sure you will learn a lot of new things beyond language level and gain a deeper understanding of relevant contexts. Seats are limited, please RSVP & PREPAY here. Host: Yinong - a native Mandarin Speaker and something elseFollow me on Instagram/Twitter @CFoo4Thought (foo without d) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!^_^

Abstract In 2019, the Indo-Pacific region could have three mega free-trade agreements (FTAs): the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement). Although these FTAs will differ in quality, they all do not include the United States. China seeks to improve its ties with major countries in the region, such as Japan and India, to shape the regional rulemaking process for trade, investment, and infrastructure. Although Japan continues to be cautious about China’s global and regional economic initiatives, concerns about the Trump Administration’s trade policies and possible tariffs on automobiles have motivated Japan to consider working with China to build a regional economic order that could mitigate the negative effects of U.S. protectionist policies. During his visit to Beijing in November 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared that the Sino-Japanese relationship was entering a new era of cooperation rather than competition. President Xi Jinping is scheduled to make his first visit to Japan as China’s leader when he attends the G20 Summit in Osaka in June 2019. This panel discussion will examine the economic and strategic implications of improving China-Japan relations for the United States and consider the advantages of multilateralism as opposed to bilateralism.

I Dream, therefore I Am: Asian Immigration as Creative Muse (Im)Migrant Series, Part II I Dream, therefore I Am explores interrelated aspects of immigration, Asian American, and dream. Do “dreamers” (DACA), 1.5 generation, and recent immigrants share similar immigration experience or have distinctive “American dreams”? How is their dream shaped, nurtured, pursued, or crushed? Do memories, nostalgia, or broken dreams inspire artistic creation? Do we all have the right to dream? With live music, theatre, poetry, puppetry, and improvisation, dreams are created and shared in front of your eyes. The program includes original music composed and performed by Michele Cheng and Shih-Wei Wu, dramatic work by Theatre Woks, puppetry by Chee-Hann Wu, and text by Daphne Lei.

South Korea: Inspiration for Democracy in Asia

The Candlelight Movement demonstrated the motivation of South Koreans in responding to corruption, holding those in power accountable, and revitalizing democratic participation, particularly among younger people who were not part of the country’s transition to democracy in late 1980s. As South Korea pursues reforms to address the aspirations expressed by citizens in 2016 and 2017, we see a strengthened commitment among Korea’s civil society, academics, youth and parliamentarians to building stronger democratic institutions. South Korea’s democratic reinvigoration, amidst regional and global decline, beacons the question: How can South Korea position itself to provide stronger democratic leadership in Asia? This event will feature two panel discussions, exploring how Korea’s democracy has been rejuvenated following the Candlelight Movement, and how South Korea can become a more robust leader to defend and promote democracy in the Asia region during a time where we see a major vacuum of traditional democratic leadership. All cameras and media must register with NED public affairs. Please email press@ned.org to register as a member of the press.

Join us as we expose the children to the delightful and fun art of Oragami. And during the hour, one of our Baby Talk moms will instruct the children in the Japanese language. Starting with simple words and building as we go. What Is Origami? *Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper and manipulating it to create recognizable objects. What’s the advantages of doing Origami? Helps in enhancing basics in mathematics and geometry too as it helps in a visual experience of space Helps with children in dexterity; especially in the case of children with difficulties in learning Origami helps in understanding the concept of sequencing; a natural phenomenon of steady growth and that one thing leads to another Origami is based on instructional reading and hence is helpful in following instructions It is empowering; when a child is able to create something out of nothing but plain paper, it fills his heart with courage, self-esteem, a feeling of achievement Here are some of the key takeaways of Origami: *Develop behavioural skills Since it is a process driven hobby and relies heavily on definite steps, it helps children hone their skills in understanding and following instructions. *It helps in building patience, a sense of self-esteem and recreating works of art by following simple instructions and steps Learning together You could have five to ten children in a room of different ages and all of them could be working individually or as a team to complete one work of Origami. *Enhancement of knowledge in Math and geometry It has lessons in symmetry, spatial reasoning, geometry as in creating artworks using basic shapes Multicultural Acceptance The roots are in Asia, having originated in Japan, but is today learned, practiced and revered in all parts of the world as a definite and a valuable tool in cognitive development and learning methods. *It helps in giving key lessons in acceptance and tolerance and appreciation of all cultures across the world Origami is not just merely folding a piece of paper but a piece of paper that has within itself educational values, therapeutic values, convenient and has great social values. *Age is no barrier. Sometimes the younger ones are better able to teach the elder kids how to go about the tasks

There will be a 5:30 pre-concert talk with UCLA Ethnomusicology Professor Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy, expert in the music of India and Bollywood, in addition to performances by UCLA's Near East Ensemble and Music of India Ensemble. THE CONCERT BEGINS AT 7:30pm. Event description: All India Radio's signature tune, played every morning since 1936, has been heard by literally billions of people on the Indian sub-continent. The melody has come to represent India and elicits nostalgia, patriotism, and a very definite sense of place. It was more than a little surprising to learn that it is the work of an unknown Jewish composer from Czechoslovakia, Walter Kaufmann, who fled to Bombay with the rise of National Socialism. But Kaufmann's concert-works, a unique melding of Indian and Western traditions, remain completely unknown. Their discovery and Kaufmann's extraordinary life are the touchstones of this evening of music performed by the ARC Ensemble.
Nominated for its third Grammy in 2016, the ARC Ensemble is one of Canada's most distinguished cultural ambassadors. The ensemble has appeared at major festivals and series including the New York's Lincoln Center Festival, Canada's Stratford Festival, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, London's Wigmore and Cadogan Halls and Washington's Kennedy Center.

All India Radio's signature tune, played every morning since 1936, has been heard by literally billions of people on the Indian sub-continent. The melody has come to represent India and elicits nostalgia, patriotism, and a very definite sense of place. It was more than a little surprising to learn that it is the work of an unknown Jewish composer from Czechoslovakia, Walter Kaufmann, who fled to Bombay with the rise of National Socialism. But Kaufmann's concert-works, a unique melding of Indian and Western traditions, remain completely unknown. Their discovery and Kaufmann's extraordinary life are the touchstones of this evening of music performed by the ARC Ensemble.
Nominated for its third Grammy in 2016, the ARC Ensemble is one of Canada's most distinguished cultural ambassadors. The ensemble has appeared at major festivals and series including the New York's Lincoln Center Festival, Canada's Stratford Festival, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, London's Wigmore and Cadogan Halls and Washington's Kennedy Center.

Japanese Ryūrei Tea Ceremony

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. Tea ceremonies in February and March will feature a special handmade wagashi, using recipes from our upcoming cookbook "The Art of Wagashi: Recipes for Japanese Sweets that Delight the Palate and the Eyes" written by Japan House founder Kimiko Gunji. The cookbook will be featured, and available for purchase at our Spring Open House on April 6th. Mar 14 - Matcha Meringue Mar 28 - Sakura Mochi
