Zhang Weiwei (simplified Chinese: 张维为; traditional Chinese: 張維為; pinyin: Zhāng Wéiwèi) is a Chinese political scientist and writer, a professor of international relations at Fudan University, the director of the China Institute of this university,[1][2] and a senior research fellow at the Chunqiu Institute, a Shanghai-based think tank.

Early Life

Zhang is the youngest of six siblings in his family. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), his older siblings all went to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps while he stayed in Shanghai because of a policy. In 1975, at the age of 17, he was recruited into the No.2 Shanghai Carving Factory (上海雕刻二厂) as a worker and jade carving apprentice.[3]

Education

Soon after, the college entrance examinations resumed with the end of the Cultural Revolution, and in 1977 Zhang was admitted to the foreign languages department of Fudan University, where he persuaded the dean to sit in on courses in international politics. From 1981 to 1983, Zhang was a postgraduate student at Beijing Foreign Studies University, studying translation.

In 1988, Zhang went to the University of Geneva for a Master's degree in international relations (1990) and then pursued a PhD, which he received in 1994. The title of his doctoral thesis is Ideological Trends and Economic Reform in China, (1978-1993).[4]

Career

Interpreter

From 1983 to 1988, Zhang was an English interpreter of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, worked for some Chinese leaders, including Deng Xiaoping [5][6]and Li Peng, in the mid-1980s.[7] In 1999, he published China's first monograph on English-Chinese simultaneous interpretation.

Academia

He was a senior fellow at the Centre for Asian Studies, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (1998-2010), and a visiting professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations (2004-2010).[8]

Zhang has written extensively in English and Chinese on People's Republic of China's economic and political reform, China's development model and comparative politics. He expanded on the concept of a civilization state with his book The China Wave: Rise of a Civilizational State (2012).[9]

Zhang Weiwei first predicted Arab Winter in his June 2011 debate with Francis Fukuyama, who believed Arab Spring might be spread to China.[10] "My understanding of the Middle East leads me to conclude that the West should not be too happy. It will bring enormous problems to American interest. It is called 'Arab Spring' for now, and I guess it will soon turn to be the winter for the Middle East."[11][12]

Politics

Zhang is a member of Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[citation needed]

On May 31 2021, Zhang gave a lecture to the Politburo of the CCP on strengthening China's international propaganda.[13][14][15] Some commentators have therefore argued that Zhang has become the new Guoshi (国师), a person with the ability to influence the decisions of China's political elites.[16][17]

TV

Since 2019, Zhang has been the host of "This is China" (这就是中国), a Chinese political talk show launched by Dragon Television, a state-owned TV channel. [18]

Political Views

According to Zhang, the concept of political party in the Western context does not apply to the CCP. The CCP is a party that follows Chinese political traditions and represents the interests of a nation as a whole.[19]
