‎Huawei und Überwachung, Aufrüstung und Wirtschaftsmacht: China macht uns Angst. Weil wir das Land nicht verstehen ? und zwar wörtlich. Thekla Chabbi schlägt eine Brücke: Die Schriftstellerin und Sinologin nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch das Chinesische, von den Orakelknochen und Leibniz? Faszination für China zu dem chinesischen Namen von VW, BMW un Siemens. Sie erklärt, leichtfüßig und unterhaltsam, wie Chinesisch funktioniert. Vor allem aber lässt sie Chinas Sprache als Mittlerin zu Wort kommen, die von der vergangenen und gegenwärtigen Vielfalt der chinesischen Welt erzählt. Und sie zeigt, wie sehr diese Sprache als politisches Instrument genutzt wird, wie die Machthaber in Peking mit der weltweiten Gründung chinesischer Sprachinstitute ihre Soft-Power zum Einsatz bringen, heikle Begriffe im Internet zensieren und die chinesische Netzgemeinde die Zensur unterwandert. 1919, vor genau 100 Jahren, führte die «4.Mai-Bewegung» in China zu einer Massenkulturbewegung, die eine Abkehr vom Westen und eine Hinwendung zur nationalen Identität mit einer Sprache für das ganze Volk bedeutete. Heute ist Chinesisch die Sprache der Sieger. Thekla Chabbi lässt sie uns verstehen. Ihr Buch ersetzt Angst durch Wissen ? und erklärt nebenbei auch, wie man Huawei richtig ausspricht.

‎Il Demone Della prosperità‎

‎8vo, ril. edit. sovracoperta, 292pp. Pechino, anno 2013. L'enigma al quale si trova di fronte il giornalista e scrittore Vecchio Chen è quantomeno insolito. Un mese intero della recente storia cinese sembra misteriosamente «scomparso», non soltanto dai resoconti ufficiali e dagli archivi dei media nazionali, ma anche dalla memoria della gente. Un mese fantasma di cui, per qualche strano motivo, solo due persone molto vicine al protagonista sembrano avere un ricordo vivido e doloroso: l'annuncio di una disastrosa crisi economica planetaria e le sue conseguenze: repressione, razionamenti di cibo e leggi marziali. Che cosa è successo di così terribile da non poter essere ricordato? Come si spiega questa amnesia collettiva in una Cina dalle atmosfere rarefatte, un paradiso dove regnano ricchezza e stabilità e tutti sono felici? I conti non tornano a Vecchio Chen e ai quattro amici che si uniscono alla sua ricerca; un'indagine azzardata in cui metteranno a rischio ogni cosa, spingendosi a compiere la più avventata delle mosse possibili: il rapimento di un membro del Politburo del Partito? Pubblicato a Hong Kong e proibito in Cina, dove è circolato sottobanco tra gli intellettuali e i blogger ed è entrato nella top ten dei best seller venduti al mercato nero, accolto all'estero come un caso letterario, Il demone della prosperità ha scosso pubblico e critica per il suo impietoso attacco al regime della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. Un feroce romanzo fantapolitico dai tratti inequivocabilmente orwelliani, che descrive magistralmente le nostre paure più nascoste.‎

‎CHANG GORDON H‎

‎Fateful Ties: A History Of America's Preoccupation With China‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Americans look to China with fascination and fear unsure whether the rising Asian power is friend or foe but certain it will play a crucial role in America's future. This is nothing new Gordon Chang says. For centuries Americans have been convinced of China's importance to their own national destiny. Fateful Ties draws on literature art biography popular culture and politics to trace America's long and varied preoccupation with China. China has held a special place in the American imagination from colonial times when Jamestown settlers pursued a passage to the Pacific and Asia. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Americans plied a profitable trade in Chinese wares sought Chinese laborers to build the West and prized China's art and decor. China was revered for its ancient culture but also drew Christian missionaries intent on saving souls in a heathen land. Its vast markets beckoned expansionists even as its migrants were seen as a "yellow peril" that prompted the earliest immigration restrictions. A staunch ally during World War II China was a dangerous adversary in the Cold War that followed. In the post-Mao era Americans again embraced China as a land of inexhaustible opportunity playing a central role in its economic rise. Through portraits of entrepreneurs missionaries academics artists diplomats and activists Chang demonstrates how ideas about China have long been embedded in America's conception of itself and its own fate. Fateful Ties provides valuable perspective on this complex international and intercultural relationship as America navigates an uncertain new era. Gordon H. Chang is Oliver H. Palmer Professor in Humanities and Professor of History at Stanford University. "A rich narrative populated by often-familiar characters and events seen through the parallax perspective of their thoughts on or relationship to China."�Sheila Melvin Caixin "A thought-provoking history of our 400-year preoccupation with China."�Kirkus Reviews "Whether discussing mutually beneficial trade and discourse or souring relations leading to conflict Chang argues that ties between China and the United States are not predestined but that the futures of both nations are nonetheless deeply intertwined."�Casey Watters Library Journal "Chang analyzes the past 300 years of Sino-American relations as the world's most populous nation is poised to regain economic supremacy. It's a succinct sharply focused analysis and Chang underlines America's status as a fledgling nation while China was an ancient empire."�Publishers Weekly "Chang's elegant analysis of America's long cultural obsession with China spans such diverse issues as the nation's early mania for tea and porcelain through the outpouring of 'yellow peril' literature in both the late-nineteenth and again in the early-twenty-first centuries. His many insights add a much needed depth and scope to understanding this often troubled but always important relationship."�Michael Schaller author of The U.S. and China: Into the Twenty-First Century "Fateful Ties is a brilliant narrative of America's obsession with China from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Chang's eloquently written history takes this country's ongoing mythmaking about China seriously and subjects it to a richly detailed critical analysis. An essential book for anyone interested in going behind the 'rise of China' headlines."�Marilyn B.
