Among them, 8 were re-elected and 3 were new board members.

At the same meetings, the board also elected Professor Wen-hui Tsai at Indiana-Purdue University as the AACS president for tenure of two years beginning January 1, 2001.


Message From the President...

This is my final message as President of the American Association of Chinese Studies. The presidency has been a rewarding two years for me, enhanced by the opportunity to work with so many professional and dedicated people. It begins with our efficient and always courteous Executive Secretary Peter Chow and includes an excellent and thoughtful Board of Directors.

I was elected at the 40th AACS Conference in New York, coordinated so ably by Professor Peter Chow. During my first year as President, our 41st Annual Conference met in Washington, D.C. The conference was held in association with the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange. The Foundation was celebrating its tenth Anniversary. It was a special honor to be associated with the CCK group because of the worldwide academic recognition that this foundation receives. Many persons around the world who may know relatively little about Chiang Ching-kuo (as with Senator Fulbright) now associate his name with the promotion of competitive, quality scholarship at the international level.

Our 42nd annual meeting this past October was held on the attractive and spacious Lone Mountain Campus of the University of San Francisco. Again, it was a pleasure to meet with international friends from Europe, Canada, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and many longtime friends from the States.

An important part of these meetings is the intellectual caliber, warmth, and congeniality of its participants. The opportunity to sustain and develop these friendships makes this meeting the most pleasant and rewarding I attend each year. I enjoy our conference from beginning to end.

We continue to nurture and professionalize our organization. I urge each of you to seek out interested colleagues who might wish to join. We are now implementing a policy whereby we no longer send notices, bulletins or the journal to members who have not paid their dues. To date, this has not seriously dented our membership. For the first time this year we adopted a policy that persons delivering papers or serving as discussants or chairs should be AACS members or pay a higher registration fee. Most professional organizations do this. I believe we will eschew the next step undertaken by many professional associations, limiting the audience to those who have paid a registration fee. Our registration fee and annual membership fee are modest. I urge you to consider a lifetime membership, which eliminates the need for annual check writing. I hope that we can soon start sending out membership renewal notices. I might add that all questions about membership should be addressed to Professor Peter Chow at: aacs@mail.com.

The institutionalization and viability of any professional organization depends on three things beyond an active, interested, and committed membership. First are the annual meetings, which I have discussed. These are a healthy, strong leg of the association tripod. Second is an interesting and informative newsletter or bulletin. A quick review of bulletins during the past few years reveals an excellent product. Like Peter Chow, I urge you to submit news items, accolades, synopses of books, monographs, and articles you have published and notices of forthcoming meetings in the States or in Asia. Let us hear from you!

Finally, I want to talk about the third leg of the tripod, the American Journal of Chinese Studies that I now edit. Before going any further, I want to thank my two distinguished colleagues, Professors Wen-lang Li and Hung-chao Tai who preceded me as editors. For many individuals, the first awareness of our organization comes from reading issues of the journal in university libraries or in the libraries of friends. Professor Chow informed me a few days ago that Yale University had ordered some back issues of the journal. The journal is regularly sent to over 100 major research libraries. If your library does not subscribe, I urge you to request your library place a subscription order with our Executive Secretary. The Journal is substantially indexed, increasing its visibility as well as that of the association, and the authors. Articles that cannot be readily retrieved are lost in the wind and that is why it is important for the journal to be widely indexed.

Our current manuscript acceptance rate is approximately 50 percent.We publish a substantial book review section in each issue, which includes books published in English and in Chinese. Special thanks are due to our dedicated Book Review Editor, Professor Wen-hui Tsai.

I am honored to have served as the AACS President for two years. This office has provided me with a great deal of personal satisfaction through the opportunity to work with such a broad range of erudite and personable individuals. I ask that you be as supportive to our new President, Professor Wen-hui Tsai.

My commitment to this organization has been confirmed many times over. I trust that each of you are as proud of the AACS as I am, and that you have received as many intellectual and personal benefits as I have. I look forward to seeing you at our Chicago meeting this Fall.

Thomas J. Bellows
President, AACS


Message From the Executive Secretary...

I hope that the "Year Of The Snake" will bring you the best that you wish. For those who attended the 2000 AACS meetings in San Francisco last October, I hope that you enjoyed the conference and your trip to San Francisco. I am sure that you will agree with me that we had another successful annual conference in the year 2000. With 25 panels and more than 150 people attended the meetings, I think "success" is a moderate way of expression. Thanks to Professors Steve Uhalley and Ron Dimberg for their fine jobs in hosting and organizing the big event for this year.

For those who were absent this year, I hope you will make it this year and in the future. This year's conference will be held at the University of Chicago. We are very fortunate to have Professor William Parish as the local host. The call for papers from the Program Committee is posted on Page 1.

Please submit your paper abstract/program proposal to the Program Committee before May 1st, 2001, and mark off your calendar on October 27-28 for the 2001 annual meetings.

Under the auspice of Professors William Parish and Ted Foss at the University of Chicago, the local host committee has already started to work for this years' conference. Chicago Loop is an attractive place to go and I hope that you will come to this year's conference

Some of our members did not renew their memberships yearly. Our membership dues are based on calendar year. The AACS board instructed me not to send the Journal to those who did not renew their memberships. Certainly, it is a painful but necessary obligation for me to implement this policy. Please check your membership status on the address label; if a life member, the numbers between 0 and 1 indicate the last time that you renewed your membership (1 for 2001, 0 for 2000, 9 for 1999, 8 for 1998, etc). For your convenience, the membership application is printed at the last page. It can also be downloaded from the AACS website. If you are a life member or have paid the annual due in 2000 but have not received the April 2000 issue of the Journal, please contact me as soon as possible. The October 2000 issue is coming out soon.

You are encouraged to submit any information regarding the honors, publications,grants, conferences and seminars related to Chinese studies that you received or participated. Please kindly provide me with any relevant information to be included in the coming Newsletter.

I would like to thank Professor Thomas Bellows for his excellent leadership during his tenure as the AACS president. Professor Wen-hui Tsai at Indiana-Purdue University assumed the presidency as the AACS president on January 1, 2001.Once again, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to each one of you for your patronage of the AACS. If there is anything that I can further serve you as a humble secretary, please don't hesitate to contact me. All information is also posted at the AACS website; http://www.ccny.cuny.edu/aacs/

See you at the annual meetings in Chicago, if not sooner. Best regards.

Sincerely Yours,
Peter Chow
Executive Secretary

PRESIDENT CHEN SHUI-BIAN GREETED
PARTICIPANTS OF THE SINO-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

The 29th Sino-American Conference on Mainland Affairs was held from May 28 through May 30, 2000 in Taipei. AACS members Chu-Yuan Cheng, James T. Myers and Richard L. Walker were the few scholars invited to attend that conference consecutively since its initiation of the first conference in December 1970. The theme of the conference was "U.S.-China Relations in the year 2000". President Chen Shui-bian of the Republic of China greeted those conference participants from abroad. It had a "most congenial opportunity for American scholars to exchange individual views with the President".


LIBRARIES OF IVY LEAGUES ORDERED AJCS

The circulation subscription of the American Journal for Chinese Studies has been increasing steadily. With its wide recognition in the field of Chinese studies, many Ivy League libraries have added the AJCS to their holdings. Recently, the Executive Secretary of the AACS received an order for some back issues of the Journal from the library of the East Asian Institute at Yale University. It is encouraging news to all of you who have contributed to the AJCS. Needless to say, gratitude is due to our chief editor Professor Tom Bellows.

Publications/ Research Outputs

AACS member, Bill Carpenter, at the Washington office of Standard Research Institute (SRI) International recently published an article on "The Taiwan Strait Triangle" in Comparative Strategy, Vol.19, No.4, 2000. In this article, Mr. Carpenter examined the ongoing set of relationships among the United States, China and Taiwan. He argued that as the center of gravity of global strategic affairs had shifted to the Asian hemisphere, this triangle would continue to be a focus of national and international policy concern in Washington, Beijing and Taipei.

William Parish at the University of Chicago joined the AACS board by bringing in numerous new publications to the organization. The following books and papers are a partial list of those that he published recently:

Chinese Urban Life under Reform: The Changing Social Contract. Cambridge University Press, 2000. (co-authored with Wenfang Tang).

Gender Differentials in Economic Success: Rural China in 1991 (co-authorship with Ethan Michelson) In ReDrawing Boundaries: Work, Household, and Gender in China. (Editors Barbara Entwisle and Gail E. Henderson) Berkeley: University of California Press, 2000.

Local Government and Private Business in China, Japan-China Sociological Studies. No. 8 (August 2000): 1-42. (Co-authorship with Fang Li).

Daughters, Parents, and Globalization: The Case of Taiwan, (co-authorship with Nidhi Mehrotra) In Women's Working Lives in East Asia.(Editors Mary C. Brinton) Stanford University Press. 2001. (In press).

AACS Member Thomas A. Brindley, at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, recently published a new book entitled "The China Youth Corps in Taiwan" by Peter Lang Publishing. This book tells how the China Youth Corps (CYC) is adapting to these dramatic changes in Taiwan in order to serve the developmental needs of young people. First established to endure patriotism, party loyalty, and political control of youth, this voluntary organization now de-emphasizes politics while providing educational and cultural activities that are recreational and still morally uplifting. For order information, please visit: http://www.peterlang.com or Customer Service 800-770-5264, 212-647-7706.

AACS member James C. Hsiung, at New York University has a new book entitled "Hong Kong The Super Paradox: Life After Return to China" published by St. Martin's Press. The book cuts into the cold reality of post-colonial Hong Kong, which demonstrates a paradoxical normalcy in its internal politics, belying all pre-1997 prophecies of doom, and offers plausible reasons for the wide discrepancy between expectations and outcome. It reveals that despite earlier contrary rosy expectations about the continuity in its international status, the post-1997 Hong Kong has-again paradoxically-encountered difficulties in its external eligibility to act, as in the actual cases examined. For order information, contact: Meredith Howard at (212) 982-3900, ext. 267 or Meredithhoward@stmartins.com.

AACS member Chu-yuan Cheng at Ball State University, Indiana, who was also the AACS president from 1997 to 1998, has a new book entitled "China's Economic Reform and Changing Relationships Across the Taiwan Strait", published by The Linking Press in Taipei, Taiwan published it. (377 p. ISBN 957-08-2074-8). In addition, Cheng also contributed some chapters in several books:

"China's Economic Development since the Asian Financial Crisis" in Thomas J. Bellows (ed.) "Taiwan and Mainland China, Democratization, Political Participation and Economic Development in the 1990s", Center for Asian Studies, St. John's University, New York, 2000 (pp. 329-350).

"China's Economic Development and Cultural Change" in Cultural Changes in China since the Economic Reforms, published by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, China, December 2000 (pp. 280-295). Besides publications, Cheng presented the following papers in several professional conferences.

"China's Economic Development in the Wake of the Asian Financial Crisis," the 42nd Western Social Science Association Annual Conference, April 26-30, 2000 in San Diego, California.

"China's Economy: Recent Development and Long-term Prospects," the 29th Sino- American Conference on Contemporary China, Institute of International Relations, National Chengchi University, May 28-30, 2000 in Taipei, Taiwan.

AACS member Phylis Lang Lin at the University of Indianapolis recently published three books as the following: a) "Stress and Coping", published by Young-Lion Publisher, in Taipei, 2000; b) "Stress Management", published by Textile Publications in Beijing, 2001; and c) "Sociology", Wunan Publishers in Taipei, 2000.

AACS member John F. Copper at the Rhode College had some new publications recently. The following are a partial list: A book entitled "Historical Dictionary of Taiwan" (Republic of China) 2nd Ed. It provides detailed information on places, events, and people in Taiwan and explains the importance of each while relating most of Taiwan's identity as a nation or alternatively its ties to China. The information contained in this book also links Taiwan's history, society, economic growth, and politics to its status and importance in the world community. Publisher: Scarecrow Press, INC. Contact: (800) 462-6420.

An article entitled " The Impacts of WTO Membership on Economic/Trade Relations Among The Three Chinese Economies-China, Hong Kong and Taiwan" by AACS member Peter Chow, Francis Tuan and Zhi Wang was accepted for publication by the Pacific Economic Review. The article applied a general equilibrium model to analyze the effects of WTO accessions of China and Taiwan on the trade, industry, and investment in the three economies. The article will soon become available in the coming issue of The Pacific Economic Review.

AACS members Peter Chow and Bates Gill co-edited a book entitled " Weathering The Storm: Taiwan, Its Neighbors, and the Asian Financial Crisis". The book includes three chapters on financial crises in Indonesia, Thailand and Korea, and three chapters on how did Taiwan weather the financial storm as well as it's active role in the global production network. The final chapter entitled " What Have We Learned from the Asian Financial Crisis" highlighted invaluable lessons of financial liberalization for developing countries. The publisher is the Brookings Institution Press in Washington, D.C. ISBN; 0-8157-1399-1.

AACS member Harry Kiang has published a book entitled "In the Twenty First Century". This book has six chapters: China in brief, American policy toward the Manchu Dynasty, American policy toward the Republic of China, American policy toward the People's Republic of China up to 2000, American policy toward China in the Twenty First Century, and Taiwan. There are 11 tables, 1 map and 1 appendix, the Taiwan Relations Act. For further information, please contact its publisher: The Institute of China Studies at 1-847-677-0982.

On the Release the AACS Membership Directory- Your Opinions Count.

The Secretariat Office received several requests about the AACS membership directory. The AACS board has not established set any guidelines on this matter. It involves both the visibility of the organization as well as the protection of privacy for AACS members.

Many of you probably would say that "if it is for academic purposes, release it. Otherwise, decline". However, the boundary is blurred most of the time. The following is an example from someone who is soliciting publication for his manuscript: "They (publishers) have requested membership lists of organizations whose members might have an interest in the book. I assume that they will do a direct mailing. Anyway, could you send a current AACS membership list to me ASAP? I will then forward it to them ".After consulting with President Tasi and other Board Members, I tentatively held this request until next AACS board meeting. Meanwhile, please think it over and let the Secretariat Office receive you feedback on this matter by e-mail at aacs@mail.com. Your inputs will be forwarded to the AACS board for final decision.


IN MEMORIAM

It is an unpleasant duty of the Secretariat Office to report the loss of the AACS members in 2000. Professor Tony Shao-chuan Leng at the University of Virginia passed away on September 4. To recognize his contributions to the field of Chinese studies, friends of Professor Leng have set up a memorial fund in his honor at the Miller Center Foundation at the University of Virginia. For further information, please contact Mrs. Nora Leng at 217 Highview Lane, Carrsbrook, Charlotterville, Virginia 22901.

Prof. Tien-Yi Lee at Ohio State University passed away in 2000. Prof. Li served as the AACS president from 1981-83.Mrs. Li requested that contributions in memory of Professor Li be sent to the Ohio State University, designed to the Tien-yi Li Prize Fund. The annual income from this endowed fund is divided equally by the department of East Asian Languages and Literatures and the department of History to reward an outstanding graduate student in each department.
