The India China Institute is pleased to welcome Professor Liu Dong, and esteemed academic from Tsinghua University.
Professor Liu will speak on the unprecedented building boom in China, and its effect on the urban and cultural landscape of the country. In its rush to construct modern housing is China wiping away both the cultural memory and individuality that has made it unique?

Professor Liu is the Executive Director of the Tsinghua Academy of Chinese Learning: professor of Aesthetics, Comparative Literature and Sinology of the Philosophy Department, Tsinghya University. He is also the Chief Editor of the Chinese Scholarship Quarterly. This event will be moderated by Zha Jianying, a writer and media commentator who is also the India China Institute’s Senior Adviser in China.
