Publications

Xiucai

Jörg-Meinhard Rudolph is the editor of the China newsletter Xiucai (pronounced: Sju Tsai), which has been published since 2002 and is named after the lowest rank of the traditional Chinese civil servant examination, the " Blooming Talent " (= Xiucai ). The special thing about this newsletter is that Rudolph relies almost exclusively on Chinese sources.

" When China comes over the world "

In addition, Rudolph is the author of the book " When China Comes Over the World ." In this book he describes the current situation in China and the state of a society of small prosperity that the Chinese Communist Party is aiming for in 2020. A quote from this book describes how the changes in China could change the world:

If the earth can be compared to a closed system of communicating tubes, where one side has exactly what the other lacks, then developments in China must result in the still full side of Europe, America and Japan becoming emptier. It will get fewer (or more expensive) raw materials, but more poisoned air from China. It is unlikely that all three - Japan, America and Europe - will simply come to terms with it.

biography

Rudolph passed his Abitur at the Robert Koch School in Clausthal-Zellerfeld and from 1980 to 1982, after studying Sinology at the East Asian Seminar of the Free University of Berlin, was a translator and editor at the Beijing publishing house for foreign language literature (外文 出版社 Waiwen Chubanshe) . He received his PhD in 1986 with the work " The Taiwan policy of the Communist Party of China (1921-1982) " to Dr. phil. and then became China representative in the marketing office of the board of Krone AG.

From 1988 to 1992 Rudolph was project manager for foreign trade fairs at Messegesellschaft Berlin. In 1992 he became Germany director of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council in Frankfurt am Main and from 1997 to 2002 delegate of the German economy ( DIHK ) in Beijing . Since 2002 he has been a lecturer at the East Asia Institute at the Ludwigshafen am Rhein University of Applied Sciences, where he also publishes the Sju Tsai China Service. In 2007 Rudolph became head of the East Asia Institute.

Rudolph is under criticism, as a monitor at Deutsche Welle, to represent an opinion that is too critical of China and thus to place himself in the "camp" of the Chinese dissidents.
