DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs' East Asia Program pre
 sents Jason Kelly. China today seems caught in a contradiction: a capitali
 st state led by a Communist party. But this seeming paradox is hardly new.
  Since the 1930s\, well before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came to p
 ower\, CCP traders have sought deals with capitalists around the world. Du
 ring the Mao era\, this quest for access to overseas capitalist markets—al
 ongside China’s embrace of socialist revolution at home—created a paradoxi
 cal momentum at the heart of the Chinese revolution. What motivations and 
 rationales lay behind the CCP’s early search for capitalist trade? How did
  this trade shape the making of Mao’s China? And why does this Maoist trad
 e with capitalists matter today? This talk explores these questions by dra
 wing from Kelly’s recent book\, Market Maoists: The Communist Origins of C
 hina’s Capitalist Ascent.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Jason M. Kelly is Senior Lecture in
  the Department of Politics and International Relations at Cardiff Univers
 ity and Associate in Research at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies a
 t Harvard University. Trained as a historian of modern China\, he was also
  previously a Foreign Service Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs' E
 ast Asia Program presents Jason Kelly. China today seems caught in a contr
 adiction: a capitalist state led by a Communist party. But this seeming pa

 arty (CCP) came to power\, CCP traders have sought deals with capitalists 
 around the world. During the Mao era\, this quest for access to overseas c
