China's New Order:
Society, Politics, and Economy in Transition

Wang Hui

Zeit: 1 February 2005, 6:00 PM
Ort: IWM, Spittelauer Lände 3, 1090 Wien

Wang Hui participated in the massive student demonstration of Tiananmen Square in June 1989, which ended in a massacre when the People's Liberation Army was ordered to fire on the demonstrators. He was then sent to a re-education camp in the Qinling Mountains of Central China where he lived for what he called "the greater part" of the 1990s. Prof. Wang analyses the events of 1989 and, in addition, argues that the features of contemporary China are a result of the new global order as a whole in which considerations of economic growth and development have trumped every other concern, particularly those of democracy and social justice. He calls for economic and social justice, and an indictment of the corruption caused by the explosion of "market extremism."

/Wang Hui /is Research Professor in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Tsinghua University, Beijing, and current editor of Dushu ['Reading'], the most important intellectual journal in contemporary China.
