SUMMARY:Emily Feng: Identity and Belonging in Xi Jinping's China
DESCRIPTION:Feng reveals dramatic human stories of resistance & survival in a country that is increasingly closing itself off to the world.\n\n\nChina’s president\, Xi Jinping\, has become the most all-powerful leader of the communist state since Mao\, and his grip on the country has been strengthened by technology and China’s growing economic and military might. The United States might have belatedly realized it was in a great-powers competition with the People’s Republic\, but we might still be failing to understand how Chinese people themselves are dealing with—and resisting—their authoritarian government. \nAward-winning journalist Emily Feng\, author of the new book Let Only Red Flowers Bloom\, has documented China’s state oppression of those who fail to conform to Xi Jinping’s definition of who is “Chinese.” She has profiled nearly two dozen people who are pushing back. They include a Uyghur family\, separated as China detains hundreds of thousands of their fellow Uyghurs in camps; human rights lawyers fighting to defend civil liberties in the face of incredible odds; a teacher from Inner Mongolia forced to make hard choices because of his support of his mother tongue; and a Hong Kong fugitive trying to find a new home and live in freedom. \nJoin us as Feng reveals dramatic human stories of resistance and survival in a country that is increasingly closing itself off to the world—even as it flexes its muscles on the world stage. Feng illustrates what it is like to run against the grain in China\, and the myriad ways people are trying to survive\, with dignity. \nSPEAKERS \nEmily Feng\, International Correspondent for NPR; Author\, Let Only Red Flowers Bloom: Identity and Belonging in Xi Jinping’s China \nModerator TBA \n5 p.m. doors open & check-in5:30–6:30 p.m. program6:30 p.m. book signing(all times Pacific Time) \nPhoto by An Rong Xu; courtesy the speaker.
