The Foreign Policy CentreFPC launches report on China's global image
In this new report, from the author of the widely discussed paper 'The Beijing Consensus', Joshua Cooper Ramo argues that China's national image, and the misalignment between China's image of itself and how it is viewed by the rest of the world, may be its greatest strategic threat. It argues that alongside its other reforms, China needs a 'fifth transition' if the trust and understanding necessary for the next stage of its development are to be achieved.
Please note that this is a draft version of the paper - the final version will be launched shortly.
The paper has been kindly sponsored by Hill & Knowlton

Change and Contradiction: McDonald's in Beijing
By Joshua Cooper Ramo
Newsweek International
Sept. 17, 2006The gap between how China sees itself and others see it is wide and dangerous.Sept. 25, 2006 issue - In the late spring of 2004, several dozen Chinese and international scholars gathered in Boao, a resort town on Hainan Island in the South China Sea. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a new concept advanced by Zheng Bijian, a Chinese intellectual known for his connections with Chinese President Hu Jintao. Though Zheng's Chinese rivals carped among themselves about exactly how close the two were, his intellectual pedigree had unarguably deep roots: it stretched back to the late 1970s, when he had been part of a group of scholars who had traveled to the West at Deng Xiaoping's request. For most of the 1980s and 1990s, Zheng developed a career as a sort of intellectual ambassador for Chinese leaders. His new theory was called "The Peaceful Rise of China."

January 04, 2007Many Americans are eager to learn, but some are concerned about China's motives behind 'Confucius Institutes.'What do New York, Hawaii, Kansas, California, Mexico, France, Serbia, South Korea, Egypt, Australia, Russia, and Rwanda have in common?
Almost nothing, except that they now play host to the language-and-culture centers being mass-produced by the Chinese government with trademark Chinese speed and efficiency: 130 Confucius Institutes (CI) have been established in 50 countries over the past few years. The United States already has a dozen, with several more in the works. Their purpose, say Beijing officials, is to promote the Chinese language and enhance China's relationships around the world.

2006 1st QuarterChina faces the predicament of maintaining an official version of its ‘national culture’ while being confronted with globalization and diverse searches for cultural and local identities. Chinese endeavours to protect and preserve Chinese culture reveal two orientations: one is the state strategy which emphasizes creating and reinforcing an official version of ‘national Chinese culture;’ the other features the different and innovative efforts of many individuals and grassroots communities, who have taken into their own hands the mission of conserving traditional and local customs, cultures and diversity.

China Watch, Social Elite, Ideology
By Edward Cody
The Washington Post
December 24, 2006Hung Huang is regarded as a model by many young Chinese women. Her mother was Mao Tse-tung's English teacher in the 1960s, her stepfather was foreign minister in the 1970s.
Despite her communist pedigree, Hung "jumped into the sea," as the Chinese say, taking advantage of economic reforms to try her luck in private business. It worked; at 45, Hung is emblematic of the new China.
Her China Interactive Media Group publishes several glossy lifestyle magazines. Her flagship publication, Ilook, is filled with photos, articles and advertisements aimed at China's new rich.
In a warehouse in Beijing's Dashanzi art district where she and 80 employees work, Hung shared her thoughts on where China is and where it might be headed.

Who has it in for China?
By Joel Martinsen
Danwei.org
December 20, 2006State media in China spills a great deal of ink attacking reports on China by western organizations that subscribe to this or that anti-China theory - "China threat", "China collapse" and so forth. Like other catch-phrases in the media - "three represents", "peaceful rise" and such - the words are often bandied about without any explanation. Global People (环球人物), a magazine under the People's Daily group, promises to remedy that situation in its latest issue, which profiles the "China attackers" most closely-associated with a number of anti-China positions.
