With Wang Hui (汪晖) of Tsinghua.
Our second TPPI conference on Chinese political thought was a great success, bringing together 39 speakers from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as from the US and Europe. Wang Hui delivered the keynote.
We explored themes of Chinese statehood, nationhood, and nationalism, addressing topics such as the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” tianxia idealism, the legacy of state Confucianism, the systemic functionality of Hong Kong’s institutions, the thriving of Sino-civilizational discourse, and—true to the Italian American roots of the Telos community—the state and development of sinology in Italy.
Many thanks to everyone in the China Initiative of the Telos-Paul Piccone Institute, to our conference host Hsu Chiahao, to Mark Weiner, Jennifer Wang, Wang Shengshuang, and Mark Kelly. And to the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute at Queens College, City University of New York, for generously providing the conference space.
NEW ISSUE: In Telos 214, we trace how China’s intellectual and theological traditions are being reinterpreted to address questions of authority, legitimacy, and global order. Read Eric Hendriks and David Pan's introduction to the issue in our blog:

Publicarei, ao longo do próximo mês, a minha tradução da "Genealogia do Pós-liberalismo" que escrevi com o Jacob Williams para a edição 212 (Fall 2025) da revista @TelosPress.
Nesta primeira parte, podem ler a introdução e a secção sobre as origens teológicas do pós-lib.
It took an enormous amount of time, but I am very proud of the result. I co-edited an issue of Telos that focuses on key concepts for understanding contemporary Chinese political thought. Many of the contributions grew out of the TPPI China Keywords conference held in New York in March 2025.
A second China Keywords issue will follow in a few months, but this is China Keywords 1. In this first issue, we include papers on reverse pressure (倒逼), state-owned enterprises (国有企业), Chinese technocracy/controls (统制), cultural self-confidence (文化自信), cultural subjectivity (文化主体性), Chinese liberalism (中国自由主义), and cosmopolitanism (世界主义).
