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.
