Iowa City Foreign Relations Council Presents: Chinese Political Culture and Authoritarian Regime Resiliency

Published: Aug. 23, 2016, 10 a.m.

Traditionalism. Communism. Liberalism.

All these values and more are evident in current Chinese political culture, but with the coming of China's political modernization or lack thereof the cohesion of these ideologies will forever change the future of China and her global influence. ICFRC presents a master of the Chinese political landscape, UI Professor Wenfang Tang, who will address the current trends, existing government and future predictions.

Wenfang Tang is Stanley Hua Hsia Professor of Political Science and International Studies. His current research focuses on public opinion and political change in contemporary China, as well as comparative political behavior. He has authored and coauthored several books published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Stanford University Press, and many articles in academic journals including American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Public Policy, China Quarterly, Journal of Contemporary China, among others.
