SUMMARY:Free Public Talk on China - China and the West

DESCRIPTION:In modern history\, the West (Europe and the USA) has been a 
 source of inspiration for some in China and a source of threat for other
 s. Not so simple as a split between radicals and conservatives: the Boxe
 r uprising was virulently anti-Western but the student radicals and the 
 early Chinese communists (1919-1927) drew strength from Western ideas. W
 ith 1949\, and the rule of the CCP\, the new state was firstly in a mutu
 ally antagonistic ‘non-relationship’ with the West. Now\, as symbolised 
 by the 2008 Olympics\, harmony has replaced discord. We will\, in histor
 ical perspective’ and in the context of the international work of the Co
 nfucius Institutes\, consider Chinese / Western interaction over the las
 t two centuries.
