会议通知：谁在制订中国的外交政策？（北京站）

这是驻华外国记者协会9月14日的活动。我都忘记我上次参加中国记协组织的活动是什么时候了，似乎，从来没让我参加过？据说，中国记者还不能参加这个驻华外国记者协会……

在香港大学读书的时候，Thomas Crampton和Diane Stormont老师都曾任外国记者协会的主席，托他们的福，我们这帮港大学生仔能够出席FCC的活动，那种视野是课堂上学不到的。好像中国没加入WTO之前以观察员身份参加来着，FCCC有没有观察员这个职位呢？如果有，韩巍十分想参加……

Although much about China’s foreign policy decision-making remains obscure, it is possible to identify the interest groups vying for a voice in policy formulation and to explore their policy preferences. Linda Jakobson and Dean Knox will discuss a new SIPRI report that reveals a number of emergent trends, chief among them the changing face of China’s official decision-making apparatus and the direction that actors on the margins would like to see Chinese foreign policy take.

DATE: September 14, 2010
TIME: 4:00-5:30pm
VENUE: Residence of the Ambassador of Finland, 30 Guanghua Lu

ENTRANCE: free to FCCC members, 50 rmb on the door to non-members
REGISTRATION: email fcccadmin@gmail.com so we know numbers and for security clearance
Please bring your passport or photo ID!
