The Influence of Xi Jinping's Father, Xi Zhongxun: A Conversation with Dr. Joseph Torigian

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Joseph Torigian joins us to discuss his newly released book The Party's Interests Come First: The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian describes the life and struggle of Xi Zhongxun as a party official during the Cultural revolution and specifically the impact he had on the life and political views of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Dr. Torigian notes that his book utilizes the story of Xi Zhongxun's life as a lens to better understand how the Party works and why both Xi Zhongxun and Xi Jinping believe certain values, such as those of sacrifice and suffering for the greater good, are highly important. He describes how Xi Jinping was viewed positively by his father due to the idea that his son had “eaten more bitterness” than other children, even going as far as to state that Xi Jinping had “the makings of a premier.” Dr. Torigian describes how deeply involved Xi Zhongxun was during his time in the party on the United Front, ethnic policy in Tibet and Xinjiang, and policy towards Taiwan, and how, because of his father's dedication to these issues, Xi Jinping views them as personal unfinished business. Finally, Dr. Torigian describes how Xi Zhongxun's influence on his son has left Xi Jinping with a Hobbesian view of the world and with the idea that the Party is the best tool for helping China assert its rightful place in the world and secure its inevitable march towards greatness. Dr. Torigian is a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover History Lab, an associate professor at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, and a center associate of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Previously, he was a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton-Harvard's China and the World Program, a Postdoctoral (and Predoctoral) Fellow at Stanford's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), a Predoctoral Fellow at George Washington University's Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, an IREX scholar affiliated with the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, a Fulbright Scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai, and a research associate at the Council on Foreign Relations. His research has also been supported by the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation, MIT's Center for International Studies, MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives, the Critical Language Scholarship program, and FLAS.

Writing histories of communism and "really existing socialism" have been fraught with political tension for decades. On the one hand, sectarian debates in the global left too often overlooked the nuances of really existing socialism and cutting edge academic research in order to align with specific ideological orientations. On the other hand, and far more consequential, Cold War-era anti-communism (and the collapse of the Soviet Union that followed) engendered generations of historians - both professional and not - with an implicit hostility to communism as an intellectual starting point. While many historians have directly opposed anti-communist History writing, and successfully shaped and contributed to academic and popular discussions, anti-communism persists in the academy and popular discourses globally. So how should we assess and understand "anti-communism" and its relationship with History? And how do popular memory politics, nationalist imaginations, global political shifts, archival access and academic trends play into it? And what does all this mean for the left and socialist politics today?On today's episode we discuss all this and more with Stefan Gužvica, using his recent article in Jacobin on the notorious "Black Book of Communism" as a starting point. You can read the article here:⁠https://jacobin.com/2025/01/black-book-communism-courtois-history⁠Stefan Gužvica is assistant professor at the Department of History of the Higher School of Economics in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. He is the author of Before Tito: The Communist Party of Yugoslavia during the Great Purge, 1936–1940. He is currently working on a book based off his doctoral dissertation defended at the University of Regensburg in 2022, titled "Sickle without a Hammer: Revolution and Nation-Building in the Balkans, 1900s–1930s."(episode image is a French anti-communist poster circa 1950/51 entitled "Caucasian Dance" produced by the movement "Peace and Freedom".

Natalia Kovyliaeva (Ph.D Candidate, University of Tartu) gave a lecture on "Between Horror and Hope: Feminist Anti-War Resistance and Opportunities for Mobilization in and Outside of Putin's Russia" on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 4:00 pm in 206 Ingraham Hall, 1155 Observatory Drive. About the lecture: Since the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, the Russian feminist grassroots immediately reacted to this event and joined forces to protest against the war. On February 25th, a group of feminist activists published a manifesto, which outlined the anti-military and anti-Putin agenda of the Russian feminist grassroots movement and called for the international feminist movements to join the anti-war protest actions worldwide. As for today, they were able to attract supporters not only in Russia but received much international attention and support worldwide. Relying on the concepts of invisibility and opportunity structures, the upcoming discussion focuses on how the perceived notions of (in)visibility shaped the resistance opportunities for FAR's activists both in and outside Russia, including the transnational level of opportunities. The study relies on the extensively rich online data from the FAR channels on Telegram, Instagram, and Facebook and supporting materials such as newspaper interviews, Youtube interviews, documentary movies, and personal reflections of activists from the semi-structured online interviews. In general, the talk will demonstrate how marginalized and vulnerable groups may find a way to resist the dictatorial regime to spread their anti-war messages and gain a voice within a very hostile environment, build a transnational (online) network of feminist anti-war cells inside and outside of Russia, form new identities and agendas within the feminist grassroots movements and impact political agendas of other anti-war initiatives and organizations sharing similar goals and claims. About the speaker: Natalia Kovyliaeva is a Ph.D. candidate, Junior Fellow Researcher in Political Science at Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, University of Tartu (Estonia). Her current dissertation project, titled "Gaining Voice: Feminist Grassroots Mobilizations in Putin's Russia," explores the emergence and development of the feminist grassroots movements and their tactics and strategies in Russia starting from the early 2000s. Natalia holds an MA in Political Science from Central European University (Budapest, Hungary) and an MA in International Relations from the Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia). Natalia has volunteered and interned for organisations such as the Sakharov Centre, EU-Russia Civil Society Forum, German-Russian Exchange, and Transparency International - Russia.

Vladimir Putin recently claimed victory as Russia's president despite extensive evidence that the “election” was illegitimate in a number of ways. His repression, including evidence of State-ordered assassinations and assassination attempts, and his manipulation of Russia's legal systems and institutions seems to assure him power – and impunity.Putin's efforts to consolidate that power have included eliminating most political opposition and civil society organizations and forcing independent media to shut down or move their operations into exile. The recent death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a remote prison camp exemplified the threats to anyone deemed critical of the Kremlin.The long arm of the Kremlin also extends far beyond its borders. In addition to the now decade-long war on Ukraine, which escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022, and military interventions in the Middle East and Africa, Russian exiles are also not immune from Putin's wrath. Just Security's Washington Senior Editor Viola Gienger recently interviewed Gleb Bogush, a Russian lawyer and expert on international criminal law who fled Russia in 2022. Gleb is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center of Excellence for International Courts of the University of Copenhagen. He is also a member of the Cologne-Bonn Academy in Exile (CBA). Before 20222, he was an Associate Professor of International Law at the Moscow State University and HSE University in Russia, also known as the Higher School of Economics.This conversation took place a day before the March 22 terrorist attack on a Moscow concert hall that killed more than 130 people. Show Notes: Gleb Bogush (@gleb_bogush)Viola Gienger (@ViolaGienger) Paras Shah (@pshah518)Just Security's Russia coverageJust Security's Russia-Ukraine War coverageMusic: “The Parade” by “Hey Pluto!” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-parade (License code: 36B6ODD7Y6ODZ3BX)Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

José de San Martín gained his military experience serving Spain and fighting the French, sometimes with the British,meeting Wellington, Beresford, and Napoleon. Having served for 22 years in the Spanish Army, Jose de San Martin brilliantly led the armies that overthrew the Spanish to liberate the southern countries of South America. With naval experience, in coordination with former British naval officer Thomas, Lord Cochrane, he worked out how maritime and land forces could support each other, catching the Spanish colonial forces between simulated naval attacks on the one hand and land attacks on the other, forcing them to divide their forces. With technology no different from that available to Hannibal, San Martín crossed the Andes, a mountain range far higher than the Alps (admittedly with horses and mules, not elephants!). Joining us to talk about this national hero of Argentina, Chile and Peru is Lt Gen Diego Luis Suñer, Chief of the Argentine Army from 2016-2018. General Suñer joined the Army in 1979 and retired after 40 years' service in which he commanded multinational troops in Ecuador and Peru, attended the United States Army Command and Staff Course and was a professor at the Argentine Army's Higher School of War.

On this episode, Slovakian politician and academic Martin Klus talks with us during a trip to Texas about the state of the Slovak Republic following the recent elections favoring a more Moscow-friendly government. Slovakia's move towards the pro-Russia camp in which Victor Orban's Hungary sits will make things difficult for its eastern neighbor Ukraine and easier for Putin in the European space. Per statistics that Dr. Klus cited as a fellow at the Bratislava-based think tank GLOBSEC, 55% of Slovakians believe that the war in Ukraine was started by an actor other than Russia, which is a direct effect of Russian propaganda through social media platforms, in particular TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The European Commission introduced the Digital Service Act which Dr. Klus hopes will help to mitigate the negative effects of free speech for trolls and hate speech-propagating bots.

On this episode, Lera sits down with Anastasiya Osipova, a scholar of Soviet and contemporary Russian and Ukrainian cultures, who shares about her research on DOXA, a student journal on political harassment in academia that emerged from Higher School of Economics in Moscow in 2017. DOXA was stripped of its status as a university organization in 2019 and since then exists as an independent magazine. After February 2022, DOXA left Russia and continues to operate outside of the country. "In recent years, Russian student-run DOXA journal has emerged as one of the main platforms for anti-authoritarian youth. Simultaneously a source of independent news (including about Russia's war in Ukraine), legal resources, and anti-harassment strategies, it sets a unique tone and articulates a consistent set of attitudes for the new generation of Russian youth, for whom detention and imprisonment have become a constant horizon of possibility. Anastasia Osipova looks at the strategies used by the former editors of DOXA who have been living under a pre-trial house arrest following the police raid of the journal's office in April of 2021. She analyzes their poetic, performative, and activist strategies of dealing with confinement and police aggression––strategies that represent a new chapter in the long history of Russian repression of youth and that mark a decisive departure from both the Soviet dissident model and the actionism of the 2010s."

Since the early aftermath of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many major Western companies have been in various stages of divesting from Russia. Nearly a year and a half into the war, we've entered a new phase of business relations, as the Kremlin has started nationalizing foreign companies' Russian assets. The latest watershed moment occurred on April 25, when Putin issued an executive order allowing the Russian authorities to place the Russian assets of companies from “unfriendly nations” under the state's “temporary administration.” As a result, Russia seized the assets of Uniper Russia, including Uniper's 84% stake in the power generation company Unipro, which was valued at $5.5 billion before the invasion. More recently, earlier this week, President Putin placed the Russian subsidiaries of French yogurt maker Danone and Danish brewer Carlsberg under the Russian state's “temporary management,” effectively seizing these businesses. The Federal Property Management Agency has already entrusted Danone Russia's CEO position to Ramzan Kadyrov's nephew. For some guidance through this tumultuous period of international sanctions and elite business politics in Russia, Meduza spoke to Alexandra Prokopenko, a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, who worked at Russia's Central Bank and at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow from 2017 until early 2022.

Welcome once again to The Million Dollar Relationships podcast. Today we are going to learn about the incredible and inspiring story of Ivonne Delaflor! Ivonne is a spiritual teacher and educator, who has been practicing mindfulness and meditation for many years. She has created several conscious education platforms including MASTERY LIFE and The Higher School for Conscious Evolution and is the CEO & President of Delaflor Teachings Inc. Ivonne is also a certified hypnotherapist and Raw Vegan Nutritionist and has studied with spiritual leaders and teachers worldwide. She recently founded The International School of Futuring which focuses on future leadership and creating a brilliant future for humanity. Ivonne is dedicated to serving her community and eradicating the third-world consciousness mentality.   In this episode of the podcast, Ivonne shares her inspiring story of resilience and faith. From her work as a coach, consultant, founder of a nonprofit organization, and producer of a TV network all serving Latin America, to her spiritual cultivation practice, Ivonne is passionate about discovering who she can become each day and helping others heal their trauma to create better realities. The two also dive into the miraculous story of when Ivonne suffered severe injuries in a car crash that left her with a damaged arm - doctors said she'd never be able to walk again - but with the help of pioneering doctors, she was able to make a full recovery. Plus, they talk about how Ivonne's current mentor Tim Grover has been instrumental in helping her tap into her power of self-faith, and how he taught her that pressure is a privilege, that your mind must be stronger than your feelings, and that you must accept and learn from failure.   Listen in as Kevin and Ivonne explore these topics further and get inspired by Ivonne's journey!   [00:00 - 05:28] Who is Ivonne Delaflor? Ivonne Delaflor is the founder of Delaflor Teachings International, a coaching and consulting systemic Ivonne is also the founder of LA Kitchens International, a coaching and consulting systemic company that helps individuals, systems, teams, and leaders heal trauma.

The car crashed into a concrete wall and a statue of the Holy Mother, and Ivonne had to undergo a worldwide first arm reconstruction. The car incident awakened "The Other Self" in Ivonne and she went through a spiritual journey. Ivonne spent one month in the hospital and was told she would never be able to walk or keep her arm, but she recovered.     [16:30 - 26:05] How Relationships Can Change the Course of Our Lives Ivonne honors her first former husband Enrique, and her mentor Tim Grover Enrique was a successful entrepreneur and a deep meditator. He introduced her to the power of the present moment and connected her with various meditation teachers. Enrique helped Ivonne to discover who she truly is. Tim Grover is a mentor of Ivonne Delaflor and a renowned author and he has worked with successful athletes like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. He became a powerful spiritual teacher for Ivonne, not by teaching her spirituality, but by giving her tools to master her mind. He taught her the importance of staying down a bit after failure to reflect and learn, then getting “back on the horse”.    [26:05 - 28:49] Closing Statements Follow Ivonne on LinkedIn or Instagram and check out her website at https://delaflorteachings.com/ Final words   Thanks for tuning in!    If you liked my show, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, and subscribe!    Find me on the following streaming platforms: Apple Spotify Google Podcasts IHeart Radio Stitcher   Tweetable Quotes   “Pressure is a privilege.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption.

#104 - Investir dans les LEGO - Yoann Lopez

La Martingale

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2022 61:31


Le sujet : En décembre 2021, l'École des hautes études en sciences économiques de Russie a publié une étude démontrant qu'entre 1987 et 2015, investir dans des LEGO aurait été un meilleur investissement que l'or, l'art ou la Bourse, avec un rendement annuel moyen de 11 % ! Avec certains produits présentant des plus-values de plus de 600% par an, l'investissement dans les petites briques en plastique colorées est plus sérieux qu'il en a l'air. L'invité du jour : Après un premier épisode enregistré en septembre 2020 sur le thème des meilleures stratégies d'investissement, Yoann Lopez est de retour dans la Martingale. Yoann est l'auteur de la newsletter Snowball et le fondateur de la société éponyme. Il vient également de sortir son premier livre “L'Effet Snowball” (février 2022). À travers ces différents projets, il souhaite aider un maximum de personnes à bien gérer leurs finances personnelles. Au micro de Matthieu Stefani, cofondateur de CosaVostra, Yoann nous explique comment investir dans un support totalement décorrélé des marchés financiers : les LEGO. Oui, ces fameuses briques en plastique qui font le bonheur de millions d'enfants depuis des décennies. # Pourquoi investir dans le LEGO ? Comme souvent en investissement, la rareté entraîne la rentabilité. Et si la demande d'un produit particulier est importante, alors la valeur de cette rareté monte en flèche. Tout le monde connaît les LEGO : c'est un des jouets les plus célèbres. Aussi, certaines éditions sont limitées. Nous avons donc là deux signaux d'un investissement potentiellement intéressant : la demande, et la rareté. # Qui investit dans le LEGO ? Les collectionneurs… Mais pas seulement ! L'investissement dans le LEGO attire de plus en plus de monde : notamment des investisseurs attirés par le potentiel retour sur investissement, l'objet, et l'originalité de ce placement. Mais aussi beaucoup de personnes ayant joué au LEGO durant leur enfance et qui y portent une valeur sentimentale. # Où acheter des LEGO ? Vous pouvez acheter des LEGO sur la boutique officielle en ligne, sur des sites e-commerce (FNAC, Amazon, etc.) ou dans les magasins de jouets. Par contre, pour les anciennes éditions, cela se passe sur le marché secondaire : ebay, leboncoin, les brocantes ou les sites de collectionneurs. # Comment bien investir dans le LEGO ? Bien qu'il soit possible de revendre des éditions déjà ouvertes, il est très important que l'emballage du LEGO soit intact : boîte en bon état, fermée, avec le film plastique d'origine. Aussi, Yoann conseille d'acheter si possible les éditions anglaises, car la demande est beaucoup plus importante qu'en français. # Quels sont les différents types de produits LEGO dans lesquels investir ? D'un côté, il y a les grandes franchises comme Star Wars, Harry Potter ou Friends. Et de l'autre, des monuments, des véhicules ou des objets célèbres : le Taj Mahal, le Titanic ou la Fusée Apollo Saturn V par exemple. # Quel rendement espérer d'un investissement dans le LEGO ? Selon l'Ecole des hautes études en sciences économiques de Russie, entre 1987 et 2015, la valeur des 2 322 lots étudiés a augmenté en moyenne de 11% par an. Yoann rappelle que comme dans tout investissement, rien n'est garanti. Et une des clés est la diversification. # Quels sont les risques liés à l'investissement dans le LEGO ? Il y a tout d'abord le risque physique : imaginez une inondation ou un incendie dans votre lieu de stockage… Ensuite, le fait que LEGO réédite une nouvelle fois le produit que vous avez acheté. Enfin, il y a l'engouement : y aura-t-il toujours de la demande dans plusieurs années ? Le produit que vous avez acheté sera-t-il toujours populaire ? Ils citent les références suivantes : Snowball - “Investir dans les LEGO. Wait, what?!” Les cartes Pokemon L'étude de la Russia's Higher School of Economics Et aussi l'outil : Evernote Ainsi que d'anciens épisodes de La Martingale : #32 - Yoann Lopez - Les meilleures stratégies d'investissement #43 - Alice Léger - Comment investir dans les sacs à main ?

In this episode, we continued our special focus on #Russia and #Ukraine. Last time we were here, Russian President Vladimir Putin had just recognized the “People's Republics” of Luhansk and Donetsk, delivered a speech filled with historical myths and grievances, and Belarus had announced that the Russian military units there for exercises were not, in fact leaving. Only a few days later, Russia launched its long-feared invasion of Ukraine, attacking from multiple directions, bombarding cities with missile and artillery strikes, and causing a humanitarian crisis that now stands at over 1,000,000 refugees having fled Ukraine. To tell us where things stand and what more might unfold, we welcome two of our Krulak Center Fellows. Dr. Yuval Weber is one of our Distinguished Fellows here at the Krulak Center.

He has published on a range of Russian and Eurasian security, political, and economic topics in academic journals and for the popular press in the United States and Russia. Dr. Rosella Cappella Zielinski is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Boston University specializing in the study of political economy of security. Her book How States Pay for Wars (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2016) won the 2017 American Political Science Association Robert L. Jervis and Paul W.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enAs you may have learned from the crowdfunding banners now adorning this website, the Russian authorities designated Meduza as a “foreign agent” on April 23. Our new status in Russia has chased away advertisers and deprived us of revenue, endangering Meduza's continued existence. That's the sad truth of our situation right now, but what does it mean to be a “foreign agent” in Russia? How does it change life and daily business for individuals, NGOs, and media outlets? Russian lawmakers argue that these regulations are Moscow's response to similar rules and restrictions in the United States, but does that comparison stand up to scrutiny? To answer these questions and more, “The Naked Pravda” turned to Middlesex University London Associate Lecturer in Journalism Dr. Sasha Raspopina, Higher School of Economics Associate Professor Dr. Dmitry Dubrovsky, “Memorial” Human Rights Center lawyer Marina Agaltsova, and journalist Casey Michel, whose forthcoming book, “American Kleptocracy,” is due out this November. “The Naked Pravda” comes out on Saturdays (or sometimes Fridays).
