The 21st Century China Center’s inaugural China forum.

21世紀中國中心首屆中國論壇.

CCP Elite Database :The CCP Elite database provides detailed biographical information including birth year, gender, ethnicity, county-level birth place, education level, university alma maters, year of entering and retiring from the CCP, work experience prior to becoming a CCP member, revolutionary and purged background, and all the job trajectories that senior cadres had experienced since 1949.  Currently, the database contains all full and alternate Central Committee members since the founding of the party up to the 18th Party Congress, as well as all provincial standing committee members since 1976.

值得注意的是由加州大學聖地牙哥分校主辦的「21世紀中國中心首屆中國論壇」（the 21st Century China Center’s inaugural China forum）上.美國外交戰略界持續進行的對華政策大辯論正產生逐漸清晰的代際分野,美國新生代中國問題專家在對華認知問題上更趨負面,在對華政策主張上比老一代更強硬,也更趨攻擊性,其中許多專案項目研究計劃,竟然是由中國留學生主辦,蒐集中國的各式各樣的資訊,加以整理,分析,比較,並且預策未來的趨勢,以利美國政府,政黨,以及其他國家對於中國,有更進一步的瞭解與認知,為什麼中國強勢崛起銳不可當,又何以美國要將頭號的敵人由俄羅斯,改為視中國為美國最強硬的競爭對手,美國及西方國家在21世紀,皆迎面正視中國重新返回國際舞台,加入強國爭霸戰的權力遊戲,但是又驚又喜不知如何應付.

The China Data Lab (CDL) was established by the 21st Century China Center at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy to lead China studies into a new era where contextual knowledge about China is tested and corroborated by social scientific methods and data. By using data-driven analysis, CDL researchers study a wide range of topics that shed new light on the dynamics of change in Chinese politics, society, and economy. CDL aims to be a hub of data resources, analytic tools, and training workshops to further advance our knowledge of China.

The mission of the 21st Century China Center is to produce and disseminate impactful evidence-based research about China, and to enhance U.S.-China mutual understanding by advancing scholarly collaboration, convening policy discussions, and actively communicating with policymakers and the general public in both countries.

Statement of Academic Integrity and Independence

The 21st Century China Center is committed to preserving academic freedom and scholarly independence in all its activities. The center makes independent decisions on all aspects of its programs, and protects the intellectual integrity and nonpartisan nature of its research, publications and policy projects.

Overview

The 21st Century is the Pacific Century, a time when the interaction of Asia and the Americas becomes the pivot point for global dynamics. Chinas evolution – how its politics, economics, society, culture and military develop – will be a critical factor in determining how the history of this century will be written. 

The 21st Century China Center was established in 2011 at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). It is a leading university-based think tank that produces scholarly research and informs policy discussions on China and U.S.-China relations.

As a center valuing public engagement, we distinguish ourselves by:

• Focusing on  in areas that are of critical and immediate relevance to Chinas development and U.S.-China relationspolicy-relevant research and policy dialogues
• Undertaking joint explorations of important topics together with  in the government and in the private sector beyond the academic setting practitioners and policymakers
• Pursuing bilateral collaboration between U.S. and China in policy analysis and research
• Disseminating information and knowledge to a broader audience outside the university through center publications, policy forums, community salons, briefings and other communication channels

The center’s core activities emphasize both scholarly research and interactive engagement. They include collaborative research projects, conferences, workshops, policy forums and industry roundtables, publications, public lectures, cultural events and youth programs.
