Welcome 欢迎

China is growing in global influence.

What does this mean for international politics, business, trade, technology, and global culture?  

Explore curated information on key issues related to China’s rise.  Let researched, balanced analysis of current events guide your decisions, not sensational news stories. 

 

Why the comparative perspective? Global leadership means aiming for cooperation, not crisis.  Comparison is a strategy for explaining complex, philosophically-based cultural differences in terms of easy-to-understand comparisons for general audiences. It thereby promotes cross-cultural understanding and mutual appreciation of position, aims, and values.
