DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan Institute’s\, East Asia Program presents Jenny Hua
 ngfu Day from Skidmore College.Why were there no extradition treaties betw
 een China and most Western countries historically? Jenny Huangfu Day trace
 s how the fugitive rendition clauses in the Opium War treaties evolved int
 o informal extradition practices and argues that China’s inability to secu
 re reciprocal extradition treaties was rooted in the legacy of extraterrit
 oriality and semi-colonialism. Through an examination of a series of landm
 ark but often overlooked extradition cases between China and foreign power
 s—especially between Canton and the colonial government of Hong Kong—she c
 hallenges the notion that “political crimes” in modern China emerged solel
 y as a domestic legal construct\, instead situating them in transborder le
 gal and diplomatic processes open to interpretation and maneuvering by bot
 h state authorities and the broader transborder population.Jenny Huangfu D
 ay is an associate professor of history and the Francis Tang ‘61 Chair of 
 China Studies at Skidmore College\, N.Y. She is the author of&nbsp\;Qing T
 ravelers to the Far West: Diplomacy and the Information Order in Late Impe
 rial China&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;Transborder Fugitives\, Extradition\, and Polit
 ical Crimes in Modern China.
