PAABJ Dinner with Geshe Michael Roach ’75
Late last month, the Princeton Alumni Association of Beijing hosted a dinner with Geshe Michael Roach ’75 at Susu Vietnamese restaurant in the Hutongs. Mr. Roach is the first American to have been awarded the degree of Geshe, or Master of Buddhism, after more than 20 years of study in Tibetan monasteries, and he shared his experiences becoming a master of Tibetan Buddhism as well as in business. He also founded the Andin International Diamond Corporation and brought it to annual sales of over $100 million, donating his profits to international aid projects. Mr. Roach shared excerpts of his book about achieving business and personal success through generosity, The Diamond Cutter, which has become a global bestseller in 20 languages.

Princeton Day of Service
Members of the Princeton Alumni Association and our new “little buddies”
In late May, members of the Princeton Alumni Association in Beijing traveled up to the Xingongmin School (第一新公民学校) which is located around the NW 5th ring road, and spent an afternoon with migrant children, as well as help clean the school and partake in numerous other activities which the school has asked us to help out with.It was great to spend time with these children, to learn about their backgrounds, and to brighten their day up a bit. After the day of service, the PAABJ participants joined with members of the Yale club who participated in the day of service for a BBQ.

Playing Our Game: Why China’s Rise Doesn’t Threaten the WestChina is often seen by outsiders as a place that has changed economically, but not politically. Moreover, it is often seen as a place that plays only by its own rules in the game of global competition. This book argues that the real story could not be more different. Beginning in the mid-1990s, China embarked on a radical acceleration of its reform efforts, one that involved a tight embrace of globalized production. That embrace opened up China to a variety of outside individuals and outside forces, forces that would play a key role in the restructuring of the country’s domestic economy, society, and even politics. As a result, many global companies today outsource production activities to China. Yet, China itself outsources the writing of the rules of the game to outsiders, particularly outsiders from the world advanced industrial economies. In the global division of labor that has resulted, China has grown not by supplanting the advanced industrial economies, but instead by complementing them. In the process, China has proceeded down a path of monumental social and political change. While China remains authoritarian today, its trajectory looks similar to that followed by previous Asian democratizers, namely South Korea and especially Taiwan. Not unlike what the KMT had done on Taiwan in the 1970 and 1980s, the Chinese communist party today has shifted from ideology-based to performance-based rule. Economic performance, particularly in the current era of globalization, increasingly requires the incorporation into the ruling party establishment of people who had previously been spurned intellectuals, technocrats, private entrepreneurs, and overseas trained experts. The core of the system is changing as the system scrambles to keep up with ever-expanding series of governance commitments held out to the Chinese citizenry. And throughout this process, China, for its own domestic interests, increasingly ends up playing not its own game of economic development, but rather our own.
