We have two exciting projects to share with you this summer!
We just launched our annual YCW Pulse Survey. The past year was overshadowed by a global pandemic, which impacted travel, global value chains, financial flows and domestic politics of China and of course China-watchers across the globe. We want to get to know your views on China and it’s role in the world; your perceptions of domestic developments, China’s impact on different policy areas, and as a global actor, including on the Belt and Road Initiative.
This survey will take about 10-15 minutes and responses will be strictly anonymous. The results of the survey will be published in a detailed study later this year, building on the results of our previous surveys.

Meanwhile, our London chapter is inviting submissions for our 2021 essay competition, in partnership with the Lau China Institute at King’s College London. The theme is ‘China, the Environment and Climate Change’. The competition aims to discover and showcase the newest young writing on China in the UK, to help foster the next generation of expertise on China and provide a platform for new voices. We invite all young China scholars under the age of 35 to apply, including students, members of academia, the media, government, the private sector or any other interested applicants.
