New page

'''China''' can refer to a number of things. Geopolitically, there are now two entities, which refer to themselves as "China", mainly as a result of an unfinished [[w:Chinese Civil War|civil war]]:

* The [[w:Republic of China|Republic of China]], nowadays commonly known as "Taiwan", is where the [[w:Nationalist China|National Government]] of the Republic of China retreated following their defeat by the [[w:Communist Party of China|Communists]] in 1949. It's territory ''de facto'' comprises the island of Taiwan and several other small outlying islands, but ''de jure'' includes the mainland, Outer Mongolia, and other disputed areas.
* The [[w:People's Republic of China|People's Republic of China]], which is more closely synonymous with "China", is the name of the Communist government that won the civil war on the mainland. Its territories ''de facto'' include mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, but not the disputed mainland territories that the ROC claims. It ''de jure'' claims Taiwan, but has never exercised sovereignty or jurisdiction over the island.

==China and Columbia==

Columbia University and China go back a long way. While Columbia was not the first American universities to admit Chinese students (that was [[Yale]]), Columbia's ties with the Chinese intellectual community produced some rather prominent people. They included:
* [[Hu Shih]], PhD 1917 - Student of [[John Dewey]] and prominent Chinese intellectual
* [[V. K. Wellington Koo]], CC 1908, PhD 1912 - Chinese Ambassador, Foreign Minister, Premier, and Interim President
* [[Zhou Ziqi]] - Chinese President

Columbia also operates a permanent outpost in China, in the form of the [[Columbia Global Center]] in [[w:Peking|Peking]].

China has nothing to do with [[CHiNA?]].

==Student Organizations==

There are a number of student organizations which have to do with China. Note that the following list attempts to be as inclusive as possible -- it makes no judgments whatsoever as to what constitutes "China".

*[[Chinese Students and Scholars Association]] - club for Chinese students ''from'' China. An "arm of the Chinese government" mainly dedicated to trumpeting Chinese nationalism and harassing [[w:Falun Gong|Falun Gong]]. Up until an administrative-forced restructure (that saw the removal of Chinese consulate officials from its advisory board), the club was organized along Communist Party-lines, with "section chiefs".
*[[Chinese Students Club]] - club for students ''of Chinese descent'', but not necessarily ''from'' China. Mainly concerned about Chinese culture.
*Taiwanese Student Association - club for Taiwanese students ''from'' Taiwan.
*Taiwanese American Student Association - club for students ''of Taiwanese descent''.
*Hong Kong Students and Scholars Society - club for students ''from'' Hong Kong.
