Wenjun Xuan at Case Western Reserve University, April 14, 2009: Chinese Economic pillars since 1978.
　　　　　As a Francophone African scholar recently relocated in the US, I attended a lecture that brought back the memories of my student years in France. The end of the 1970 decade was a year of disillusion for us. It became apparent to us that the fight for freedom from colonialist French had led to nothing but new form of economic, political and cultural enslavement. Former colonial nations continued to siphon our raw materials and send us gadgets that had no value. A hand-picked minority had confiscated our fight. The dream was definitely deferred. The 1970 decade locked us in the zone of under-developed nations. We were then known as non-aligned countries, but that was just the form. Former European colonialists were still present in the continent perpetrating the usual plundering, with a few local sycophants. The Ghanaian statesman Kwameh Nkrumah called it neocolonialism. That was two decades after the liberation; and that is still the case today.
　　　　　Although kept at bay, China was there, dormant/observant dragon! Dr. Wenjun Xuan’s lecture this afternoon brought back my readings and feelings of those days. Quite frankly, the former colonial nations and their ally America did not take china seriously. Witnessed? A book that I read by a state man and intellectual Alain Pereyfitte: Quand la Chine s’veillera... le monde tremblera [Paris: Fayard, 1973. The World will tremble when China Wakes Up. My translation!]. Peyrefitte’s view of China was eye opener. Although China did not take the leading role in international forum, she was present, observant, and activist. During those years, I remember China in my own country, building without noise. For example, the present national theater was built by Chinese. The live and work together. They passed incognito in a context where the French kept on voicing that the country was in their sphere. Did we not speak French, buy French, and eat French? Today it is the contrary. Chinese are everywhere in francophone and Anglophone Africa.
Dr. Wenju Xuan lecture touched all the basic economic pillars. For the last 30 years, he clearly showed, China has systematically climb the ladder. The speaker kept own talking about the reforms. He clearly showed that although China is a communist country, it has come to master the capitalist elements of economic growth. It has gradually opened the market to foreign capitals; it has let foreign investors to flock in. It has regulated while loosening the ropes. The State has constantly been there, controlling the labor market one would say. But what has it given in return?
　　　　It has invested heavily in the infrastructures [roads, industries etc.], in the education, the health of Chinese. In short, what is called the fundamentals of the economy has had a keen attention of the government. That a young girl from North Carolina writes to president Obama to plead for help for her school, a vital economic sector, calls to deep meditation. That the governor of Michigan is battling with ultra conservative who do not understand Ford, Chrysler and all American industrial products are the marks of their identity is beyond any 101 economic lesson. Chinese have low pay but consume Chinese. Their government has some control but to invest in the fundamentals of the economy.
　　　Dr. Wenjun Xuan finished his talk by drawing attention on the crisis that has been driving the US crazy for months. In regard to the stimulus packets, the dean of East China University Business School quoted figures that left me drunk. He made mention of trillions of stimulus packet while poor President Obama has to face the anger of a few for just a few billions that will not even fix health care, education and the crumbling infrastructures. If this nation has to stand up to the level of China, then it should understand that ultra capitalism leads a few like Bernard Mardoff to prosper, but jeopardize in the long run the system. China has come to understand that Communism can open a little door for private capital for the good of the many. Obama seems to say that capitalism can open the door for a little bit of fairness and justice. Call him communist, Marxist and all the doom ”ist“, but the reality is there that when China wakes up, the world will tremble. These reflections are based on a lecture and yesteryears memories on a book. I can’t wait to see if we can better understand the Dormant Empire.

The Chinese Dean’s CWRU Campus Visit – A Fruitful Start Professor Wenjun Xuan, the Dean of Business School of the East China University of Political Science and Law, is now on campus at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for a one week visit during April 13-20, 2009. His visit is part of the CWRU World-wide Learning Environment (WLE) Project supported by the McGregor Fund to enhance CWRU’s SAGES University Seminar, “China in Transformation and Globalization.” At the beginning of his one-week visit, he gave a public lecture on China's achievements, opportunities, and challenges in its transformation and participation in globalization.
He will also visit the SAGES University Seminar and interact with the seminar students. Further, he will meet with the deans of Weather head and Sciences and School of Administration College of Arts to explore further bilateral academic collaboration and exchange opportunities. After his return, he will continue working on technological upgrade at ECUPL in order to facilitate videoconferencing between students of CWRU and ECUPL.
I am very pleased to have had the honor to initiate and organize this kind of academic exchange. I consider this a fruitful start for many more bilateral academic collaboration and exchange opportunities between Cleveland and Shanghai and other Chinese cities to come in the further. It will not only vitalize the bilateral intellectual communication between U.S. and Chinese universities, but will also bring economic prosperity to the Great Cleveland Areas in the long run.
