Bridging Cultures with Our Work
Through our work at the GCCS, we aim to strengthen people-to-people exchanges and promote international cooperation by deepening understanding between China and the rest of the world. Since 2020 our work at the GCCS has consistently been republished by a host of international organizations, government agencies, research institutions and major newspapers in more than 170 countries worldwide. From our work on China’s ecological civilization being republished by the United Nations, to the British Council republishing GCCS article on China’s film industry, and the U.S.-China Business Council also publishing GCCS articles on China-U.S. trade, we are confident the growing visibility of our work will help ignite scholarly discussions on China, and ultimately impact policymaking.
