Join us at 6pm March 4 at CSIS for a talk, in Chinese of course, by Prof. Su Faxiang of Minzu University on the topic of “An Exploration of Chinese Policy Debates Regarding Minority Nationalities in Recent Years.” A cumbersome title perhaps, but let’s face it, these are cumbersome issues. A Tibetan himself, Prof. Su is currently in the United States as a Fulbright scholar.  He will explain some of the main arguments about the autonomous system and privilege policies toward minority nationalities of China since 2008. This is an important discussion of a set of issues that are often viewed in overly simplistic and even binary terms in the United States.
