Global China Dialogue and Other events
About the Global China dialogues
The annual Global China Dialogue (GCD) forum is a core event held by Global China Academy in collaboration with various organisations. The GCD is a high-end forum that focuses on ‘transculturality’ and social creativity. Our aim is to enhance public understanding of current global affairs and common interests. We do this via public dialogue and discussion between Chinese and non-Chinese academics, political and business leaders, experts, professionals, practitioners and interested laypeople. Our approach is interdisciplinary and comparative.
Based on GCDs rules of ‘civilized dialogue’, we encourage both sides to listen to the other, understand cultural differences, respect local customs, accept different perspectives and acknowledge the common humanity. In particular, it explores new global governance, encompassing national governments, international organizations, multinational companies, NGOs and citizens, with a mission to build a harmonious, symbiosis-based human community of a shared future.
Past and future dialogues as are follows:

Journals
Global Century Press (GCP) publishes three cutting edge academic journals. They are Journal of China in Global and Comparative Perspectives (English and Chinese editions), Journal of Chinese for Social Science (Chinese edition), and Journal of Corpus Approaches to Chinese Social Science (Chinese and English editions). GCP also publishes the ‘Global China Dialogue Proceeding’ series in English and Chinese editions.
- Journal of China in Global and Comparative Perspectives (JCGCP). CGCP launched in 2015 (annually), publishes original multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary comparative research on China on a range of topics in the social and human sciences. Beyond purely academic content it appeals to policymakers and general readers interested in China. Its aim is to bring out the best in scholarship, transcending traditional academic boundaries in an innovative manner.
- Journal of Chinese for social science (JCSS). JCSS formally launched in 2021 (biennially), Formally launched in 2021, JCSS scrutinizes the utilization of the Chinese language in academic contexts, emphasizing the crucial role of precise translation and the issues arising from cross-lingual research in Chinese social sciences. It minimizes risks related to translation in cross-cultural research, and enhances dialogue among various languages, cultures, and communities. JCSS’s commitment to accurate translation forms the backbone of effective intercultural communication, ensuring contextual clarity and contributing to the global exchange of social science knowledge and ideas.
- Journal of Corpus Approaches to Chinese Social Sciences (JCAC SS) launched in 2019 (annually in Chinese and English alternatively), is guided by the founding Director of the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Sciences at Lancaster University, Professor Tony McEnery, and supported by colleagues both domestically and abroad. It introduces innovative corpus methods to the Chinese social sciences field. It addresses challenges in this domain, offers a platform for academic exchange, and publishes pertinent research in the context of big data and the complexities of the global digital age.
- Global China dialogue Proceedings. The Global China Dialogue forums aim to enhance the understanding of current global affairs and common interests through public dialogue and discussion, using interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. Each issue of the Global China Dialogue Proceedings includes information on the chairs and speakers, topics and abstracts, and content of speeches and Q&A sessions. It also includes photos of the panels, participants, discussions, and networking. It is hoped that this combination of images and text can preserve the dynamic dialogue for interested readers whether or not they participated in the forums.
Book sciences
GCP publishes eight book series on specific themes. They are:
- Chinese Concepts aims to infuse Western social science concepts with uniquely Chinese elements. By revisiting terms such as ‘bao’ (reciprocation), ‘mianzi’ (face), and ‘guanxi’ (reciprocity or deferential relationship), the series enhances the world’s knowledge system by incorporating diverse cultural insights into traditional social science disciplines.
- Chinese Discourse covers discourse studies around Chinese history, culture, current affairs, language and people. It advocates an interdisciplinary, multi-perspective, multi-method knowledge merged with Chinese culture and possessing a global outlook, which bridges the gap between China and the rest of the world and opens a window for the outside world to understand China.
- Understanding China and the World was inspired by a significant 2010 event, ‘Understanding China, Engaging with Chinese People’, commemorating the centenary of renowned sociologist Fei Xiaotong’s birth. The series delves into comprehensive understanding and rational interpretations of China and the world, echoing the multi-dimensional insights from the event.
- China and Chinese in Comparative Perspectives expands the aims of Journal of China in Global and Comparative Perspectives to include Chinese ways of thinking, Chinese people, civilization, and culture, and contrasts between China and elsewhere, Chinese people and non-Chinese people, Chinese perspectives of the world, and non-Chinese perspectives of China globally.
- Globalization of Chinese Social Sciences aims to globally promote prominent Chinese social scientific works and a century’s efforts by social scientists both inside and outside China.
- Transcultural Experiences with ‘Three Eyes’ acts as a bridge in the areas of cross-border cultural communication and mutual understanding. Authors examine their understanding of Chinese culture, non-Chinese cultures, and their specialties and sectors as professionals and practitioners. This ‘triple perspective’ describes and explains the collision and confluence between different cultures and notions they experience in their everyday lives and work in China and abroad.
- China Urbanization studies explores the delay in people’s urbanization in China, highlighting the disparity between migrant workers and urban residents. It underscores China’s commitment to addressing these issues with sustainable, people-oriented policies.
- Cutting Edge and Frontiers provides a platform for readers to explore and understand the forefront of research and development across various fields, offering insights into the most advanced social scientific topics globally.
