The 4th Global China Dialogue (GCD IV), with the theme ’Belt and Road (B&R) – Transcultural cooperation for shared goals’, was held at the British Academy, on 2 December 2017.

The GCD IV developed the theme and theory of the GCD II, ‘transculturality and new global governance’, using ‘The Belt and Road’ as an example of a possible implementation of transcultural cooperation with shared goals. The GCD IV explored four issues:

• Panel I How the B&R connects different civilizations and cultures
• Panel II How people-to-people bonding operates through transcultural practice
• Panel III What are the theoretical and legal bases of the B&R?
• Panel IV Panel IV How the media can help to promote the B&R as a Chinese contribution to the human community

The GCD VI also included the following pre- and post-dialogue events:

• pre-GCD IV forum: Globalization of Chinese Social Sciences
• post-GCD IV workshop: Chinese for Social Science (CSS)
