China-India Academic Links - Mr. Chan Koonchung Part II [3 / 4]

In this second installment Mr. Chan Koonchung speaks about his role as an activist public intellectual. In 2010, he started an e-mail discussion group and NGO, Minjian China because he found that other Chinese intellectuals were not concerned with China's impact outside of China, despite China's role as a rising power. "Minjian" is one term for civil society. He has tried to identify scholars interested in China's impact on the broader world, starting with Southeast Asia. He recently started a second online discussion group on China-India relations.
