Education

[edit]

Jensen studied history at Williams College during the 1970s.[5] In 2011, Jensen said that his interest in studying the history of China began at Williams, where he "became inspired by the courage, tenacity and willfulness of the Chinese peopleinwaging a revolution against poverty, hunger, superlative disadvantage and international resistance to found a new independent socialist republic."[5] Jensen earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992.[6]

Career

[edit]

Jensen has been cited as an expert on Chinese history, culture, and politics,[7] as well as Chinese nationalism[8] and religion in Asia.[9] He is also a scholar[10] and critic[11]ofConfucius Institutes.

Jensen has been public a critic of China's interpretation of the Hong Kong Basic Law.[12] Jensen has also publicly criticized China's treatment of human rights lawyers, which he has described as "an extra-legal or illegal pattern of apprehending civil rights lawyers whose success in laboring in the courts against the government’s routine."[13]

Confucianism

[edit]

In his 1998 book, Manufacturing Confucianism: Chinese Traditions and Universal Civilization, Jensen argues that the modern conception of the person of Confucius was invented by the Jesuits.[14][15]
