The “International Order and the Shaping of China’s Diplomacy” academic seminar was held on February 1st, 2013, at seventh floor second conference room of Administration Building, National Chengchi University.
This seminar, presenting the fruitful results of former seminars since last year, 2012, was conducted by Young Scholars of Diplomatic History research team supported by the “Aim for the Top University Project: The Shaping of Modern China”under Center for Humanities Research, National Chengchi University. The Young Scholars of Diplomatic History, consisted of young Ph.D. students or assistant professors from different fields, was an ambitious and energetic research team with a great passion for academic research. The team has published China's Diplomacy from Multiple Perspectives in 2011 and The Interpretation and Application of International Law in China in 2012.
The seminar invited experts in diplomatic history home and abroad, including Professor Chi-Hua Tang from the Department of History of Tunghai University, Professor Chiu-Chun Lee from the Department of History of National Taipei University, Researcher Li Chang and Chi-Hsiung Chang from the Institute of Modern History of the Academia Sinica, Professor Kawashima Shin from the Graduate Department of Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies of the University of Tokyo in Japan, Assistant Professor Jian-Biao Ma from the Department of History of Fudan University in Shanghai and Researcher Wen-Hao Lu from the Institute of Modern History of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Meawhile, the seminar also invited Professor Chih-yu Shih from the Department of Political Science of National Taiwan University and Assistant Professor Hsuan-Lei Shao from the Department of East Asian Studies of National Taiwan Normal University so as to enhance interdisciplinary communication as well as the variety of seminar discussions.
Nine articles were expected to be released for academic references in the seminar this year. For example, in China’s Efforts to Return to the International Community: Centering on the Inspections of Problems of the Emperor’s Return, Adjunct Assistant Professor Shen-Hua Lu analyzed the emperor’s role and the process of restoring order after the Incident of Gengxin, as well as the efforts of Chinese diplomats and complicated international factors involved. In Participation in Civil Order: The Analysis of China’s Establishment of Internment Camps, Ph.D. Student Zhen-Feng Tsai discussed the measures taken by the Chinese government against prisoners of war and its participation in international law and world order during World War I. And in Shifting Direction of the British Governement’s Policy of Pirate Suppression in Guangdong Province in the 1920s, Associate Professor Chun-Hao Ying brought up the problems, measures, ways of cooperations and solutions between the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Government of Hong Kong during the British rule. Although priate problems were considered issues of maritime security, and though eventually the two parties had no choice but to give up cooperative works, the problems of pirate suppression, with the unfolding of First United Front political event, somehow made the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office take a more prudent attitude toward these issues, which again manifested the subtle connections between China’s foreign policy and its goal to maintain harmonious maritime order.
The three articles mentioned above centered on different topics and issues; however, they all displayed modern China’s responses to world order. After the success of National Revolutionary Army’s Northern Expeditions, conflicts of different views on East Asian order between the Republic of China and Japan occurred. The Attempt of the Nationalist Government to Seek International Mediation during the Sino-Soviet Conflictwritten by Director Wen-Lung Wang, Shifting Historical Glitches: The Post-War Inspection of Chinese Customers (1945-1946) written by Assistant Researcher Chih-Yun Chang, and The Post-War East Asian Order and the Policy of the Republic of China toward the Ryukyu Islands: Centering on Political Movements of the Ryukyuan People in Taiwan written by Adjunct Researcher Tzu-Chen Yang also discussed the problems of maintaining East Asian order from different aspects, as well as displayed the conflicts and compromises of international law, expatriates policies and customer appointments.
As World War II came to an end and new world order was being established, China participated in the ideal order established by the United Nations, and also got itself involved in the Cold War Frame dominated by two strong powers, the United States and Russia. The study of China’s Complaint to the United Nations against the United States’s Invasion of Taiwan in 1950 written by Assistant Professor Tao-Chung Hsiao, and The Full Story of China’s Right of Representation at the World Health Organization (1948-1972) presented by Ph.D. Student Feng-Yuan Hsu, respectively discussesed, by studying the ways the United Nations and its principal organs work, how China had participated in the post-war world order maintenance and had consolidated its own power. In addition, The Third Qingdewan Incident and East Asian Orderin the Cold War Era: The Remote Causes of the Problems of Senkaku Islands, presented by Ph.D. Student Tian-Hao Jen, also discussed the authority and development issues of the islands in East China Sea, catching the public’s full attention and providing a different perspective on such issues nowadays.
The nine articles mentioned above analyzed the process of transformations that China had undergone when it gradually got itself involved in the international community through various events at different times and from different perspectives. And these articles also provided relatively persual and careful observations for understanding the shaping of Modern China’s diplomacy.
