NewsELA Article - Understanding Diplomacy HW - turn in work from today's class to eBackpack Assignment #1. 1. ‘Frost Boy’ in China Warms Up the Internet, and Stirs Poverty Debate 2. "Two Chinas" From: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/interviews/bequelin.html [You've said that one should consider how there are actually two Chinas.] Nicholas Bequelin: There really seem to be two Chinas today: … China A and China B. China A is all the major big cities where business men and foreign governments go: Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, Shenzhen. … [It's] modern and confronting a lot of the problems that developed countries are facing: … problems of urbanization; too many cars; social problems; the rise of criminalization; the education, health system; the judicial system; lawyers and etc. These are some of the problems for developed, rich or getting-richer countries. … Then you have China B, the undeveloped or developing China, the China which is the vast majority of the country, the majority of the population and the majority of the land mass. This China in development is still very poor, not getting very much better, because all the economic growth is concentrated in the cities, and they face developing countries' problems: not enough water, land, economic resources, infrastructure; a very low education. These two sets of problems are very different and call for very different responses, but the way that China is governed … is an absolute top-down, autocratic, macro way of doing things, and it's a one-solution-fits-everything, and very little attention is paid to whether China B can catch up with China A. This is particularly relevant for human rights issues, because many of the issues that the Western countries have been engaging China on are really China A types of problems: how to build an efficient legal system; how do you train lawyers; how do you train judges; how do you build transparency in the government, and etc. All these are legitimate problems, but they seem to leave out, as the Chinese rulers have decided to do, most of the Chinese population. It's a profoundly unequal system, and it's a system whose contradictions we see every day are playing out more and more. There is a pool of unrest in China. There is a lot of ferment for change. People are pressing the authorities; they are defending their rights; they are trying to find a way to have a secure life. … They are trying to get the attention that they need to have these problems addressed, and this is where the old reflexes of the one-party system come into play. Any kind of organized dissent is immediately crushed down, from bloggers on the Internet to lawyers who want to defend striking workers to peasants trying to organize because their lands are taken away to journalists who are going past the line that the Propaganda Ministry sets. As soon as you do something that the government considers to be a challenge, then you're immediately put down. 3. Chinese Ghost Towns - click link to watch video (0:00-13:18)
