In 2018, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was more powerful than
at any other time in its modern history and one of the most powerful
countries in the world. The China Story Yearbook: Power surveys the
various ways in which the Party-state wields its hard, soft, and sharp
power, both in China and abroad. Citizens of the PRC have long had to
negotiate the state’s power and influence in their life.
Increasingly, diaspora communities and non-Chinese citizens, companies
and governments around the world are learning to do the same. Some
submit, some push back. Jane Golley and Linda Jaivin, two of the
book’s co-editors, will be joined by two of the book’s
contributing authors, Ben Hillman and Mark Harrison, to discuss
‘Girl Power’, soft culture, the rapid expansion of state-owned
enterprises, the analysis of Taiwan’s politics in 2018 and more.
Professor Rufus Black, Vice-Chancellor, University of Tasmania, will
deliver the opening remarks. Panellists:Jane Golley, Director,
Australian Centre on China in the World, ANU, and Co-editor, China
Story Yearbook: Power Mark Harrison, Senior Lecturer (Chinese
Studies), University of Tasmania Ben Hillman, Director, Policy and
Governance Program, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU Linda
