One Hundred Years of
Transformation in China: 1911-1981-2011
By Dr. Vincent Yip
On 10/10/1911, Chinese revolutionaries in Wuchang ignited an uprising
that ended China’s 5000 years of feudal and dynastic rule, and heralded a
Chinese Republic. However, much more turmoil and suffering ensued until 1949
when the PRC was founded, and even beyond. This presentation will examine the history, culture, and psyche that
laid the foundation for today’s China. Dr. yip is also an indefatigable
traveler and photographer. He will share his images and experiences inside
China the past three decades, during
which China went from a Third World weakling to a First World Power to be
reckoned with.
Dr. Vincent Yip is a Bay Area
management consultant whose career included diplomatic service to the European
Union and teaching at the Northwestern, USF Business Schools, and
has been lecturing at Stanford Continuing Studies since 2008. He has traveled in China on consulting
assignments for UN, World Bank, and several international corporations, and in
1994 he founded a Sino-Malaysian joint venture environmental technology ECOFEN
in Beijing and served as its general manager. He is the author of three books
on China and also published numerous articles in technical as well as business
journals, mainly on cultural, e-commerce, project management and other related
aspects of doing business in China. Dr.Yip holds a PhD from U.of Southern
California.
