PS 308 - China and Globalization

(3.00 cr.)

The US-China trade war grabs headlines, while the Chinese Communist Party quietly sells surveillance technologies and spreads authoritarian values across the world as it secures access to critical oil and mineral resources. Taking advantage of the "global war on terror," the Party has interned as many as a million Uighur Muslims in camps at home in the name of security and propagates a parallel world with Chinese versions of "human rights" and "democracy" that are empty of their traditional meanings. China is analyzed through various issue areas (religion, politics, economics, ideology, global production, military conflict) to make sense of how China is being remade by globalization and remaking the world in its image.
