[Dialogue] How Should We View a Changing China?
The Quarterly Changbi 209, Fall 2025
Abstract
Moderated by Professor Lee Wook-yon of Sogang University, Byun Jiwon, Cha Taegeun, and Choi Pilsoo, China specialists in the fields of language, economy, and philosophy, engage in a rich discussion on how to view a changing China. Reminding us of the significance of Korea’s role in the current U.S.-China tensions, they examine a broad range of important issues, including the political and international implications of anti-China sentiment, the limits of the East Asian developmental state model shared by Korea and China, the process and meaning of “Chinese-style modernization,” and the potential for alternative civilizations that we might reference. Their discussion on the need for building systematic Korea-China cooperation and dialogue for the future generations adds breadth and depth to their discussion.
