Description
If you are reading this page, you may be curious why there is a new Udemy course focusing on these particular countries. (Or perhaps you landed here by mistake, in which case, please read on nonetheless!). The reason is rather straightforward. Across our planet there are many latent, unresolved, historical conflicts which have become more acute due to recent events. Perhaps nowhere is this more true than in the largest nation on earth by population- China. But just what is China? The answer depends very much upon whom you ask. In this course we examine "Greater China" to look at the main iterations of the Chinese nation: the People's Republic (comprising the overwhelming majority of Chinese people and territory), Hong Kong (a former British colony with the status of a "Special Administrative Region" (SAR) within the PRoC), and Taiwan (aka the Republic of China), the island which became a refuge for Nationalists fleeing the Mainland more than seven decades ago. Each "version" of China bears its own unique characteristics. Living Law®'s approach to analysing the impact of history on today's geopolitical situation is to use the law as a frame of reference. Law reflects culture and culture drives law. Each of the "3 Chinas" investigated here has its own legal system reflecting its political reality. The PRoC reflects the 1-party rule which has been in place on the Mainland since 1949. Hong Kong is already half way through its 50-year transition period from British rule, with its political and legal systems increasingly mirroring that of the PRoC. Taiwan has pursued a democratic form of government following a long period of military rule. What makes the dynamics of "Greater China" relevant for all of us is the potential for conflict between the PRoC and Taiwan and the risk of other nations being pulled into that conflict. First and foremost this means the United States, which for decades had a mutual defence treaty with Taiwan and still has a legal obligation to help Taiwan defend itself. A number of recent events at the time of course creation have made familiarity with the history and political dynamics of this region more important than ever. By taking the course you should be able to make better sense of today's headlines in what many predict is an inevitable showdown between competing visions of China.
