This week on Sinica, I chat with University of Melbourne transnational historian Pete Millwood about his outstanding book Improbable Diplomats: How Ping-Pong Players, Musicians, and Scientists Remade U.S.-China Relations. The road to normalization is told too often with a focus only on the Nixon-Kissinger opening and official diplomatic efforts culminating in the final recognition of the PRC in January 1979, but there's much more to the story than that, and Millwood tells it deftly, drawing on extensive archival research as well as interviews with many of those directly involved.3:33 — Transnational history 4:44 — The early, “pioneering” trips to China in the 1950s and ‘60s and China's shift in invitations 11:14 — The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) in the 1960s 16:27 — The role of the Committee of Concerned Asia Scholars (CCAS)20:43 — Why Nixon's opening to China was seen as so surprising, and the impact of the UN's shift in recognition from the ROC to the PRC on American thinking 24:57 — The Glenn Cowan and Zhuang Zedong ping-pong diplomacy story 31:21 — Edgar Snow's meeting with Mao33:43 — The return leg of ping-pong diplomacy and the National Committee's “baptism by fire”36:33 — The significance of the Philadelphia Orchestra's tour of China with Eugene Ormandy 42:23 — Jiang Qing and the controversy around the cancelled performing arts tour in the U.S. in 1975 46:03 — Kissinger's thinking in the early 1970s after the first communiqué 48:48 — The U.S.-China People's Friendship Association 50:42 — How scientific cooperation smoothed the process toward normalization under the Carter administration, the state of play in '77, and how Frank Press CSCPRC argued for greater reciprocity 1:02:25 — The politics in China in regards to the grander bargain and the decentralization of exchanges 1:05:43 — The disbandment of the CSCPRC and the reinvention of the NCUSCR 1:08:58 — Pete's suggestion for continuing academic and cultural exchange 1:12:51 — How Pete got interested in such an American and China-centric topic 1:18:02 — Pete's current projects Recommendations:Pete: Island X: Taiwanese Student Migrants, Campus Spies, and Cold War Activism by Wendy Cheng; Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong by Louisa Lim (also available as an audiobook read by the author) Kaiser: We Met in Beijing, a book of poems by Anthony Tao See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

主播：David | 翩翩音乐：Sucker for You疫情一爆发，教学随之受到很大的影响。今天，翩翩和David跟大家聊一聊：疫情在世界范围内，对大学生活以及留学申请程序变化的影响。1.Changes on college campuses 大学授课方式有变化 COVID-19 爆发后，中国的学校很多都转成线上教学了（have moved to online learning），春运，旅行等也都受到了限制（there are some limits on traveling）。美国也有类似的限制（restriction）：The US has very strict travel bans（出行禁令）.餐馆酒吧等公共场所都关停了（shut down）。Many people are required to quarantine（被要求居家隔离）.“flatten the curve”（让曲线变平）成为了美国人的最新流行语，意思是：降低病例的数量（lowering the number of cases that are reported）。然而，最大的变化之一就是在大学校园里（college campuses）：大学基本都不能正常上课了（cannot have normal classes anymore），有的直接完全变成了线上课（have moved completely online），面对面的活动（in-person events） 也没有了。采用a hybrid（/ˈhaɪbrɪd /混合）method of learning：一些小课 in person（面授）, 人多的话， happen online（线上上课）。圣母大学（the University of Notre Dame）会有手机APP，每日更新校园病例（updated number of cases ontheir school campus）。帝国理工（the Imperial College London）增设了冠状病毒课程（new course about the coronavirus）。想到我们正经历的一切（the events we are experiencing today），有朝一日会出现在历史课上，真是让人难忘（mind-blowing）。中国在美国读书的学生，take online classes from across the globe：在中国上美国的线上课，过着美国时间。许多出国留学项目（Study Abroad）也被取消了（are canceled）。2.Changes on college applications大学申请有变化申请美国大学的留学生减少（a lot less students are applying to colleges in the US）：2020年，申请留学的人数减少了40%。招生政策有变化（colleges admissions have changed ）：1）申请截止日期延迟（extended their application deadline）2）对测试成绩不作要求（waived test requirements） , 比如SAT或ACT这样的测试。加州的学校，UCLA（加州大学洛杉矶分校）, UCSD（加州大学圣迭戈分校）, UC Berkley（加州大学伯克利分校）等名牌大学，就都不看测试成绩了。*SAT或ACT：标准化考试（standardized tests），为了保证申请公平（to compare everyone in a fair way），考试使用全球标准给学生打分（use a global standard to score students）。 对于这样的变化，有人欢喜有人忧。 对于那些取得高分的学生来说，花了大量时间准备考试（they studied so hard），it's a waste （太可惜了）。成绩不太好的就高兴了，更有信心去申请排名靠前的名校（they feel more confident to apply to high-ranked colleges）。 3.The different response towards the pandemic between China and the US中美对待疫情态度大不同China：人们非常愿意遵守卫生规定（People are very willing to follow health regulations）,比如，戴口罩（wearing masks），测体温（checking temperature），保持社交距离（social distancing）。中国人很看重国家的幸福（the well-being of the nation），集体观念比较强。US：美国的文化很关注个人利益（is very focused on the individual） : 人们重视（value）每个人自己的信仰和标准（each person's own beliefs and standards）。有人戴口罩（wear masks）,有人不想戴；有人想打疫苗（take vaccines），有人害怕打（are afraid to）。所以，人们对冠状病毒，有不同的态度（have different feelings and ideas）。David的哥哥现在正在美国，有一次，他在图书馆学习的时候，因为季节性过敏（seasonal allergies），打了几个喷嚏（he sneezed a few times）。之后，他周围的人都带着恐慌看向他（worried and afraid），David的哥哥只好离开。David在圣母大学的朋友告诉他，那里的人根本不在乎疫情（don't really care about the pandemic）。他们近期，甚至还举办了一场盛大的足球比赛，近11000人观赛。许多人都没戴口罩（many people without any masks）。然而，这导致了（led to）短期内（in a short period of time）新冠病例的增加。希望疫情很快结束，这样的话，学生们可以不戴口罩（ without wearing a mask），不必再担忧社交距离（social distancing），可以举办大型体育活动，正常上课（attend their classes normally）。疫情是糟糕的，因为，大学在人的一生中，应该是愉快又安全的（enjoyable and safe）。疫情也是一把双刃剑，尽管疫情带来了很多不好的影响（has had many bad effects），但也有好的一面，因为它帮助大学学会适应（adapt to）这些问题。有了应对COVID-19的经验，相信在未来，如果我们再次遇到任何像这样的突发问题（sudden issues），全世界都能够从容不迫（the world will be more prepared to face them）。请留言告诉我们，你们对于留学美国的看法吧！

Last month China held a major international forum on its Belt and Road Initiative, the first of its kind since Beijing announced the project in 2013. Drawing official delegations, scholars, entrepreneurs, as well as representatives from financial institutions and media organizations from 130 nations, the forum was an important step in China’s drive to develop infrastructure and connectivity along the “Belt and Road Corridors” from China to Africa, Europe, South and Southeast Asia. Though many important details about the initiative remain unclear, foreign businesses are already vying for opportunities to join the initiative, and their excitement was primed by President’s Xi Jinping’s promise at the Forum to raise tens of billions of dollars in new financing. The event generated some concern about whether actual profits and benefits will match expectations. From the perspectives both of recipient countries and investors, the Belt and Road Initiative represents huge potential and significant risk. Amid the enthusiasm and apprehension surrounding the project, a robust dialogue and accurate information are critical. In support of this, the National Committee and the India China Institute of the New School hosted a delegation of financial and economic scholars led by the director general of the International Finance Department of the China Development Bank, Mr. Liang Huijiang, to discuss the May 2017 Belt and Road Forum on June 20, 2017 with moderator Mark Frazier, professor of politics and director of the New School’s India-China Institute. Mr. Liang Huijiang is director general of the International Finance Department of the China Development Bank (CDB). He oversees strategy and policy making of the bank’s international business operations as well as cooperation with national and multilateral development banks.  He also manages an overseas loan portfolio of over USD 300 billion, and is instrumental in expanding the bank’s global network. From 2005 to 2009, Mr. Liang was deputy director general of the bank’s Treasury Department, playing a key role in building a professional team for the bank’s liquidity and investment portfolios as it reached several milestones in overseas bond offerings and underwritings. Between 1998 and 2003 Mr. Liang was special assistant to Mr. Chen Yuan, then president of the CDB. In that capacity, he was in charge of developing strategies as the CDB transformed itself from a semi-government agency into a market-oriented bank. Before joining CDB, Mr. Liang worked in the International Department of the People’s Bank of China, where he was involved in annual consultations between China and the IMF and reform of China’s exchange rate regime. Mr. Liang holds a master’s degree in finance from the London Business School (2004), a master’s in economics from the PBC School of Finance, Tsinghua University (1996), and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Hangzhou University (1993). Dr. Wang Wen is a professor and executive dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China. He also serves as a consultant fellow at the Counselors’ Office of the State Council of China, secretary general of the Green Finance Association of China, and standing director of World Socialism Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. As a leading think tank professional since 2013, Dr. Wang was named a “2014 Top Ten Figures of Chinese Think Tanks,” and a “2015 China Reform and Development Pioneer.” Dr. Wang worked as chief op-ed editor and editorial writer at Global Times before 2012, and won a China News Awards in 2011. He has written and edited over 20 books including Think as a Tank; Anxiety of the U.S.; Visions of the Great Powers; 2016: G20 and China; Theories of World Governance: A Study in the History of Ideas; and The G20 and Global Governance. Dr. Zha Daojiong is a professor of international political economy at the School of International Studies, Peking University, where he holds concurrent appointments in the University’s Institute of South-South Cooperation and International Development and Institute of Ocean Research. He specializes in studying non-traditional security issues in China’s foreign relations, including energy, food, public health, and transboundary water management. His recent research interests have expanded to political risk management for Chinese investments overseas. Professor Zha has served as Arthur Ross Fellow at the Center on US-China Relations of the Asia Society in New York, as the inaugural Rio Tinto China Fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, and as senior research fellow at the Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He is also a member of the China chapter of the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific, and a senior advisor to the Chinese Association for International Understanding. He is an active participant in the National Committee’s longstanding track II economic dialogue. Professor Zha has written and edited seven academic books, in addition to dozens of journal articles. He taught in Japan for six years and holds a doctoral degree in political science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the East-West Center.   Dr. Zhai Kun is a professor at the School of International Studies, Peking University, and director of the Center for Global Interconnectivity Studies, Peking University.  Dr. Zhai was formerly director of the Institute of World Political Studies (2011-2014) and director of South and Southeast Asian and Oceania Studies (2007-2011) at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations (CICIR). He is a council member of China People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs, a China expert and eminent person of the ASEAN Regional Forum, and deputy president of the China Association of Southeast Asian Studies.
