Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dylan Loh, "China's Rising Foreign Ministry: Practices and Representations of Assertive Diplomacy" (Stanford UP, 2025)
Q: How has the last 15 years or so, the rise of Xi Jinping, transformed the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in projecting Chinese values and power?
The Ministry has become more empowered, with Xi emphasizing its role in achieving his ambitious foreign policy goals, resulting in increased budget, personnel changes, and a more significant presence in both domestic and foreign matters.
Shuchen Xiang, "Chinese Cosmopolitanism: The History and Philosophy of an Idea" (Princeton UP, 2023)
Q: Please explain how differences can be enriching rather than threatening.
Shuchen articulates that in Chinese thought, change and interaction with the environment are essential for growth and life.
Shuchen Xiang, "Chinese Cosmopolitanism: The History and Philosophy of an Idea" (Princeton UP, 2023)
Q: What is this singularity of Western racism?
Shuchen explains that Western racism is unique historically due to its unprecedented destructiveness in history, shaping a specific worldview.
Shuchen Xiang, "Chinese Cosmopolitanism: The History and Philosophy of an Idea" (Princeton UP, 2023)
Q: Could you please tell us a bit more about yourself?
Shuchen discusses her background in world philosophies, exploring how humans deal with difference and her interest in critical race theory.
Suvi Rautio, "The Invention of Tradition in China: Story of a Village and a Nation Remade" (Springer Nature, 2024)
Q: So can you talk a bit more about this procedure and how it changes women's associations with their artisanal practices?
Unlike the Maoist era, the new political and economic climate allows for the revival of ethnic cultural practices, but the marketization of textiles and crafts leads to the marginalization of women's work.
