Many people outside of China have only a vague understanding of China’s political system. International controversies about Chinese society have only been on the rise. In this talk, Tianxiang explains the often unheard key features that make the Chinese society model unique. He will also delve into some reasons for the very different understandings of China. Tianxiang will provide additional information on how Western mainstream narratives play a major role in the misunderstanding.
Tianxiang (Derek) Tan is a student (now alumnus) at Earlham College. He came to the US with a strong preference for the US political system, while hating that of his home country, China. However, as he encountered new perspectives, he found striking similarities between both and the misconceptions underlying their differences and has now developed a more holistic idea of the two cultures. He hopes to help both reach a mutually beneficial understanding of one another.
A global management student, Derek set his career path on business innovations through building start-ups, joining competitions, and serving on college IT, Marketing, and Finance groups. He has interned at Daimler and Alibaba Group. He was also elected co-chair for the Student Organiation Council and served as a student representative to the college Board of Trustees. Now a student at Cornell Johnson School of Management, he hopes to leverage technology to build cultural and economic connectivity within the world.
