演講介紹 Introduction：
This talk considers new work in progress: the ways in which tree planting campaigns have been deployed by the Chinese state to resolve a range of outstanding problems: deforestation, soil erosion, poverty/ “people’s livelihoods”, and an acute shortage of woodland products, particularly lumber. The talk draws out the ways in which different state regimes – from Yuan Shikai through the mobilizational People’s Republic and even today have used tree planting campaigns to foster notions of a new modern citizenry willing and able to recast individual short term interests into long term collective interests. The talk will conclude with a brief comparison with Taiwan.
