Wright State speaker to discuss China’s transformation
“Americans need not be hostile toward China’s rise, but they should be wary about its eventual effects,” said James Fallows, a national correspondent for The Atlantic, who has covered China’s ongoing economic and political transformation since 2006.
Fallows will discuss his impressions of China at 7 p.m. today, Feb. 16, in a lecture at Wright State University’s Student Union Apollo Room. His address, part of the Wright State Presidential Lecture series, is free and open to the public.
Fallows’ address, “Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China,” is the keynote presentation of Wright State’s Honors Institute Symposium, “Connecting with China.” “Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China” also is the title of Fallows’ latest book.
Minxin Pei, an expert on China, Taiwan, East Asia and democracy, will be the luncheon speaker on Wednesday, Feb. 17, in the Student Union Apollo Room. Pei’s address, and all of the symposium breakout sessions are free and open to the public. However, pre-registration is required at www.wright.edu/academics/honors/institute/2010/
Breakout sessions on Wednesday morning will explore Chinese education, religion, medicine, economic conditions, business relations and environmental concerns. Dayton-area educators and business professionals will serve as moderators and panelists for these sessions, as well as afternoon interactive workshops.
