内容摘要：
This talk examines the historical place of China in international and global health. I’d like to suggest that China and Chinese historical actors played key roles in this field throughout the twentieth century. To support this claim, I’ll talk about several episodes from history: including the Qing dynasty’s efforts to promote research into a deadly episode of pneumonic plague that broke out at the start of the twentieth century; the roles that Chinese experts and populations played in international health agencies, especially the post-war establishment of the World Health Organization; and the active engagement of China in medical diplomacy during the Cold War. These case studies together show that Chinese officials and doctors have contributed to concepts and practices of "global health” throughout its history. They also indicate the ways in which public and global health have been, and continue to be, deeply shaped by political, social, and cultural concerns.
