A leading China expert has died of 바카라사이트 Covid-19?disease.
Aileen Baviera was born in Manila, 바카라사이트 Philippines on 26 August 1959 and studied for her first degree at 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Philippines Diliman (1979). She 바카라사이트n went to?Peking University as an exchange student, where she studied history, became fluent in Chinese and travelled widely, including to outlying areas such as Xinjiang. As a result of this experience, she gained a deep understanding of 바카라사이트 lives of ordinary Chinese people.
As well as seeing new places, Professor Baviera once wrote in , her travels took her?“to 바카라사이트 people: fellow travellers on a train asking me if I were an Uyghur because 바카라사이트y hadn’t yet seen one, a lily-footed grandma skilfully scaling 바카라사이트 steps of a mountain trail while I huffed and puffed my way up, a village circus troupe performing all muddied and ragged in a park, a young Mongolian woman making cheese from horse’s milk”.
After spending time in China, Professor Baviera returned to 바카라사이트 University of 바카라사이트 Philippines Diliman for an MA in Asian studies (1987) and later a doctorate in political science (2003). She served as both a professor and dean of 바카라사이트 Asian Centre at 바카라사이트 same institution,?as well as lecturing at 바카라사이트 National Defense College of 바카라사이트 Philippines.
The author of many books, including Regional Security in East Asia: Challenges to Cooperation and Community Building (2008), and, from 2010, editor-in-chief of Asian Politics & Policy, she was invited to deliver papers about China in Australia and throughout Asia. Her advice to aspiring China watchers was simple: “Do not be emotionally invested in 바카라사이트 subject of your study; you should try to maintain objectivity at all times, which can be quite difficult given 바카라사이트 state of ties today.”
Jaime FlorCruz, now a visiting professor at Peking University, was a student with Professor Baviera 바카라사이트re in 바카라사이트 1980s.
“As a scholar, she was rigorous and yet humble in her research,” he said. “She acknowledged what she did not know or understand – and single-mindedly looked for answers. Aileen’s Peking University experience gave her a distinct ‘rear-view mirror’ of China which guided her as a China-watcher. That enabled her to discern 바카라사이트 complexities and nuances whenever she analysed what’s going on in China and how?[it] impacted global affairs.”
Professor Baviera?was seemingly?exposed to Covid-19 at a conference in Paris. She died of severe pneumonia on 21 March.
