The University of Minnesota China Center invites you to a hybrid event featuring Mark Sidel, Doyle-Bascom Professor of Law and Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The event will be available both in person at the University International Center, Room 101, and online as a webinar.
The mechanisms of social control in China have expanded significantly in the Xi Jinping era. Prof. Sidel will discuss the range of these means of social control used in China, with an emphasis on contagion governance during Covid, the retention of some Covid-era social control mechanisms after Covid, and new tools for social control that have begun to emerge in the post-Covid era.
This program is part of the Considering China webinar series.
