This article examines, both in internal and international contexts, the petition of the zhiqing in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, during the 1978-79 transition. It first shows how a shortage of labour on Xishuangbanna state rubber farms led to the arrival of the zhiqing from other regions. It then reviews their lives and sufferings of these revolutionary youths, followed by an analysis of the petition in terms of its process and result. This article proposes three key reasons for the win-win result: the extraordinary leadership and organization of the zhiqing, factional struggles within the Chinese Communist Party, and the Sino-Vietnamese War. Finally, it attempts to fit this event into recent literature on mass resistance in contemporary China.

“…In the few years before, from 1975 to 1979, between 430 000 and 700 000 ethnic Chinese left Vietnam under duress. Among them, around 280 000 arrived in the PRC and 160 000 were resettled on 86 overseas Chinese farms in provinces including Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and Jiangxi (Chang, 1982: 230; Han, 2014: 198; Kong, 2010; Quinn‐Judge, 2006: 237).…”

“…The returnees’ sense of political belonging to Vietnam were weakened by traumatic experiences of discrimination and displacement. Like in some Southeast Asian countries, the Chinese diaspora were characterized by nationalist Vietnamese politicians as economically influential but politically disloyal (Chang, 1982: 195). After the merger of the North and South under the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, people with Chinese ancestry were disproportionately affected by Hanoi's attacks on the bourgeoisie.…”

Most existing studies use 'reterritorialization' to describe the outward expansion of Chinese power in Southeast Asia. This paper, however, flips this familiar narrative. It examines Sino-Southeast Asian diplomacy hidden in the Chinese hinterland and embedded in the everyday. I focus on the landlocked province of Jiangxi, where the Chinese government created two enclaves for communist exiles and displaced diaspora respectively-both hailing from Southeast Asia. I argue that this domestic operation of foreign affairs helped absorb the impact of unfavourable foreign policy outcomes or drastic policy reversals. As post-Mao China re-engaged with the world, the PRC state's management of Cold War migrants enabled its reconstruction of geopolitical relations with Southeast Asia. With China's foreign policy reorientation and the progression of market reform, the state's governing strategy in the two study areas changed from one of privileged segregation to a strong push for economic self-reliance. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurial individuals from these two communities represented, repackaged and retooled an inconvenient past the state tried to erase for the elevation of their individual socioeconomic statuses and the development of their respective communities. Through their creative mediation, the history of PRC's Cold War engagement with Southeast Asia is reinscribed in new time-space contexts.

“…As China had never developed a resettlement policy, the Chinese government would have been ill-equipped to deal with a massive refugee crisis. The last major influxes of refugees had occurred in the 1970s, when thousands of Vietnamese people fled to the southern part of China during the Sino-Vietnam war (Chang, 1982). Second, North Korea acted as a buffer zone between China and South Korea, which was closely allied to the US.…”

At the beginning of 2018, North Korea halted its long-range nuclear- and ballistic-missile development programs and announced that it was willing to denuclearize. Soon afterwards, it reached out to countries including the US, China and South Korea. This sudden change in behavior marked the end of six years of extreme isolation under Kim Jong-un’s leadership. To explain why North Korea decided to reach out when it did, the present study examines the 2006–2018 economic sanctions levied on North Korea under the US maximum-pressure policy, carried out partly in cooperation with China. The findings suggest that economic sanctions were ineffective between 2006 and 2016 for two reasons: the lack of cooperation between the US and China, and China’s policy of assisting North Korea. In 2006–2016, China and North Korea had shared values and high volumes of trade; there were no clear signs of cooperation between the US and China. However, as trade between China and North Korea began to decrease in late 2017 and early 2018, there were signs of cooperation between the US and China, and changes in North Korean behavior. North Korea came to the negotiating table largely to lift the economic sanctions, which were strengthened by cooperation between the US and China. Increased economic pressure compelled North Korea to normalize its relations with the US, China and South Korea.
