7th Global China Dialogue: Reforming Global Governance, 2021
The 7th Global China Dialogue (GCD VII), with the theme ‘Reforming Global Governance’, will be held on 10th December 2021. This is the planned culmination of a series that began in 2014 with the aim of bringing together scholars and practitioners from China and the rest of the world to exchange their insights into the
problems that challenge human existence on our planet today. Our aim is to yield proposals for the reform of global governance based on these insights.
We consider global governance in the broadest sense to cover the worldwide ordering of society to enable the peoples of the world to meet existential challenges, and to give the chance for human beings everywhere to lead fulfilling lives. China’s ‘community of a shared future for mankind’ also provided the world with a similar vision. Our panels of discussants from China and other countries will be invited to examine four areas of strategic significance for realizing these or, indeed, any visions for the governance of human society at this time of crisis.

Chinese New Year Greeting Newsletter / GCA Annual Report (2019–2020)
Dear colleagues and friends,
The Year of the Rat has been a year of institutional reform: Global China Press and Global China Institute (GCI) have become Global Century Press and Global China Academy (GCA), respectively. For reasons of efficiency, we are applying to convert the existing charity into a Foundation CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). CCPN Global engages in work on China in comparative perspective, mainly via a global network and a peer-reviewed journal, for which it serves as a resource. The name of the journal, hitherto known as the Journal of China in Comparative Perspective (JCCP), is changing to Journal of China in Global and Comparative Perspectives (JCGCP), to reflect its widening scope.
Our 2019-2020 annual report discusses significant organizational changes, including renaming our press and journal to better reflect our global and comparative perspective. Our report underscores our dedication to Chinese studies within a global context, highlighting our academic and social projects, publications, and our role as a knowledge-based think tank. We also detail our active participation in global dialogues and our ongoing efforts to expand and enrich our global network.

A Symposium on China’s Development Path in the New Era from Multiple Perspectives
A symposium entitled ‘China’s Development Path in the New Era from Multiple Perspectives’ was held successfully at the University of Cambridge on January 14th, 2020. It aimed to offer an understanding of the dynamics, opportunities and challenges that are happening in China from different perspectives, focusing on a collection of works, such as Zhejiang, China: A New Vision for Development. Nearly 50 scholars and experts from China, France and the United Kingdom, representatives of overseas Chinese and media representatives attended the symposium.
The symposium was organised by Cypress Book Company (UK) Limited and Sinolingua London Limited, co-organised by the Global Century Press and the Cambridge Chinese Community Centre.
Mr. Xiaocheng Xie, Managing Director of Cypress Book Company (UK) Limited and Ms. Wenjing Chai, Managing Director of Sinolingua London Limited made welcome speeches at the opening, sharing their thoughts on China’s development path from their own experience and expressing the hope that the symposium would enable a deeper understanding of China.
Ms. Ingrid Cranfield, President of Global Century Press and Ms. Jinzhao Li, Founder of Cambridge China Centre, also spoke briefly.
Three keynote speakers shared their thoughts and researches on China issues. Dr. Joël Ruet, President of The Bridge Tank and an expert on China’s economy and foreign policy, spoke about the comprehensively deepening reform in China. He thought that the collection of work had provided a vivid intellectual chronicle of China’s reforming theoretical system in the new era.
Based on corpora of Zhejiang, China: A New Vision for Development’s Chinese and English editions, Prof. Xiangqun Chang FRSA, President of Global China Academy, analysed the theoretical and practical application of governance system and China’s capacity for governance at the provincial level.
Dr. Geng Zhi, lecturer at the Confucius Institute at the Queen Mary University of London, spoke about the great contribution of language and cultural exchange to the establishment of a community with a shared future for mankind, and how China’s development path is practised in the new era.
During the Q & A session, the participants actively interacted with the speakers.
The ‘China book around the world’ exhibition was on show in Cambridge during the symposium, displaying titles relating to China’s economy, politics, culture, education and social sciences.
