Professor Zhu Yunhan receives Peking University Global Fellowship
Jul 10, 2015
Peking University, July 9, 2015: From June 11 to 13, professor Zhu Yunhan, political scientist and faculty member of Political Science, Taiwan University, visited Peking University and delivered keynote addresses on topics including the rise of China and reflections upon methodology of American social sciences.
 
On June 11, after receiving the Global Fellowship from Wu Zhipan, PKU executive vice president, professor Zhu gave a speech titled “China’s Resurgence and the Restructuring of the Global Order” at Yingjie Overseas Exchange Center.

 
According to Zhu, four aspects of inversions of history have emerged in the West-dominated world: the fall of the unipolar system with American domination, the retreating of Third-Wave democracy, the globalization of capitalism entering a hard time and the rise of nonwestern world. The last one is the fundamental change among the four inversions, in which China’s resurgence plays the most influential role.
 
In professor Zhu’s view, to understand the rise of China and its shock to the world, people need to get rid of the paradigms of habitual thinking and view China’s development objectively. The political system, taking full advantage of “largeness” and the late-developing advantage are the three particular conditions attached to China’s booming, says professor Zhu. The first is, the second to. America no longer owns the hegemonic status. The world known to the western is gone and led by nonwestern world represented by China.
 
During the following two days, professor Zhu participated in several other seminars and discussed with PKU scholars on topics of China’s development strategy and cross-strait relationship.
