Part three of our series on The Silk Road. It was inevitable, really. Once you mention The Silk Road you practically have to talk about silk. So we will. But, let’s get a few things straight first. Silk was being traded around long before The Silk Road was even a thing. And it wasn’t just the Chinese who were making silk cloth and garments. Really, the story of silk and the Silk Road wasn’t even about silk itself. Sure, people liked silk, but it was the method of production that was the big to-do on the Silk Road.

We promised you more about the Silk Road this month and we’ll deliver it. But first, a word about horses. Because really, the whole thing is about horses and the problems China had with their and how everyone else’s horses were better. But especially the Heavenly Horses. So in this episode we discuss why horses are responsible for the whole mess. The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction by James A.

Continuiamo il nostro percorso lungo le frontiere cinesi percorrendo quella regione che è diventata sinonimo di "Stato di polizia": lo Xinjiang. Con noi, ci sarà una vera autorità in materia: James A. Millward, professore di storia alle Georgetown University, autore di innumerevoli saggi sulle minoranze in Cina e del fondamentale "Eurasian crossroads" (prossimamente ne uscirà la versione aggiornata), che ci spiegherà perché, come ha scritto in un suo articolo, Xi Jinping non ha tratto insegnamento dagli antichi imperatori cinesi.

Micah Muscolino interviews James Millward, a leading scholar on China and Central Asia at Georgetown University. They connect the history of Xinjiang in the Qing Empire, to assimilationist policies and terrorism of the 2000s, and to present day large-scale repression and cultural genocide of Uighurs under Xi Jinping. This episode is adapted from the China Throughlines web series, which features UC San Diego’s China historians in conversation with their colleagues on the echos and connectedness of China’s storied past to the twenty-first century. James A.

In this episode of Sinica, we present an in-depth interview with Arthur Kroeber, the founding partner and head of research for Gavekal Dragonomics, an independent global economic research firm, and the editor-in-chief of its journal, China Economic Quarterly.  Arthur's new book, China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know, superbly explores China's astonishing expansion during the "reform and opening up" period and the challenges the country now faces as growth slows. He provides a clear-eyed take on a huge range of subjects, from the internationalization of the renminbi to local debt to the way China's state-owned enterprises function (or don't). The book is a refreshing antidote to much of the commentary in the media, where "The Conventional Wisdom" we discuss in the podcast consists of doomsayers predicting China's imminent collapse and Pollyannas who see the country as an unstoppable economic juggernaut.
