Japan's hidden face: a call for radical change in Japanese society & commerce, 1998

It was surprising that so many mainstream American newspapers ran detailed obituaries. Hinton had lived in China since 1948, mostly running dairy farms, and she didn’t go out of her way to address Americans, as did her brother, William, author of the classic Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village (1967). She did publicly attack American imperialism — in 2006, she displayed a T shirt reading “F—k Bush” in Chinese

Hayford In the third lecture of the Chinese Vistas series, "American Dreams," Jonathan Spence talked about American dreams of China and, more tantalizing, Chinese dreams of America. He sees a series of "paradoxes" from the American Revolution to the present which set Chinese and American dreams at odds.

These studies disproved Orientalist assumptions of a unique “Chinese way of war” or a strategic culture that avoided aggressive confrontation. Scholars also challenge the assumption that Confucian immobility led to a clash of civilizations and decisive defeat in the Opium Wars, First Sino-Japanese War, and Boxer War of 1900. In fact, Qing officials were quick and successful in creating a new military regime. New military histories of the warlords, the Sino-Japanese Wars, and the Chinese Civil War show that developing new types of warfare was central in creating the new nation. All these wars split the country into factions that were supported by outside powers: they were internationalized civil wars. The article also asks how the choice of terms, labels, and categories shapes interpretations and political messages.

No one person knew him well enough to speak of him fully. He was publisher of The Journal o f American-East Asian Relations and Imprint Publications. He was a musician, an historian, a graphic artist, a collector of stamps and coins, a pretty good cook, a proud and rigorous father, and a fine, loving, and demanding friend. He ran a one-man show. In fact, when I first mailed in my subscription to the Journal, he phoned me almost immediately to find out who I was. Eventually, when 1 became the editor-in-chief (2005-2012), scarcely a day went by without a telephone call from him, sometimes two or three, sometimes for an hour or more. The talk continued when we met for dim sum at the Phoenix Restaurant

This essay, the Introduction to Part Two, weighs the rewards and problems of using fiction film to represent history and other cultures. The dilemma inherent in fiction is that if we portray the past and foreign cultures as being "just like us," we gain immediacy and connection, but at the cost of ignoring cultural difference and historical change. On the other hand, if we respect the "strangeness of the past," we gain authenticity, analytic truth, and responsibility but invite sterility, academic solipsism, and isolation from the public. The essay concludes with a list of questions on how to learn about art, politics, and business when we compare film cultures and national projects across the Pacific.
