Wang Hui: China and the limits of Modernity

The End of 20th Century and New Challenges Luxemburg Lecture by Professor Dr. Wang Hui, Tsinghua University, Beijing. Berlin, July, 6th, 2016 Challenging both the bureaucratic one-party regime and the Western neoliberal paradigm, Wang Hui shatters the myth of progress and reflects upon the inheritance of a revolutionary past. Arguing that China’s revolutionary history and its current liberalization are part of the same discourse of modernity, Wang Hui calls for alternatives to both its capitalist trajectory and its authoritarian past.
