Christopher Cairns is a Ph.D. Candidate in Government at Cornell University. His research focuses on China and Chinese media with special emphasis on the recent surge in social media channels. His dissertation addresses how the Chinese state responded to this surge from around 2009-2012, particularly its intentions regarding whether and how much to censor an emergent class of online commentators: the “Big V” (celebrity microbloggers with large follower counts). The dissertation and future work will also address what this strategy of “smart censorship,” which emerged during President Hu Jintao’s last years, has to say about recent changes under Xi Jinping. Articles and working papers by Cairns include work on the 2012 Diaoyu/Senkaku islands dispute (with Allen Carlson, forthcoming in China Quarterly), microblogger discontent over air pollution in 2012 (with Elizabeth Plantan), and a...

Andrew Dougherty is a macroeconomist who manages a China research team for Capital Group, one of the world’s largest actively managed mutual funds. He is also a hip-hop parody artist, under the pseudonym Big Daddy Dough. Dougherty was trained as a classical and jazz violinist, and early instincts for composing his own parody music eventually focused on the hip-hop genre. He first came to Beijing in 2001 as an undergraduate student. After writing Runaway A-shares in 2007, as Chinese equities markets were overheating, he didn’t return to the China theme as a rapper until 2010, when he wrote and recorded “Beijing State of Mind.” From there, it was an eight-year journey to the culmination of this 21-track compendium of Sinohiphopfunkaliciousness, with tracks inspired by current events of the day in the Middle Kingdom, with a particular emphasis on the period from 2012-2016.

Fang Lizhi (1936-2012) was an astrophysicist and political dissident. Early on, the Chinese Communist Party considered him a valuable asset because of his scientific training and therefore allowed him to continue his work in physics. However, during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s he was assigned to a rural reeducation camp in Anhui province. Following his experience there, he shifted the focus of his career toward theoretical astrophysics and published a controversial paper that, among other things, accepted the Big Bang Theory and was thus deemed antirevolutionary for rejecting Friedrich Engels’ notion of the universe as limitless.During the 1980s, Fang was active in the political and economic reform movement and was involved in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. Fearing arrest, he and his family sought asylum in the United States Embassy, where Fang and his wife ended up...

In this close-knit community, less developed countries often look towards their more affluent neighbors for financial and developmental aid. Her fascination with this phenomenon of interconnectivity has motivated her to produce stories that question the concept of power, identity, and sovereignty in the region.Ore was selected for the World Press Photo 6x6 Global Talent Program in 2018, which identifies and promotes six visual storytellers from each of the world’s six continents.

Johanna S. Ransmeier (任思梅) is a social and legal historian of modern China.
