元旦快乐

Happy New Year

Dear CCG Friends:

Seasons change and another year has passed.Throughout this extremely challenging year, we at the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) would like to sincerely thank all of your support throughout 2022.

In July and November, when people-to-people exchanges between China and the world have been on life support for more than two years, CCG became the the first Chinese thinktank - state or non-governmental - to physically venture globally. Across three continents, CCG conducted 96 face-to-face meetings and engaged with hundreds of global opinion leaders. The ice-breaking tour not only enhanced mutual trust and alleviated misunderstanding but also opened the door for Chinese thinktanks to visit foreign countries. We were - and will always be - grateful for the positive and energetic feedback from the international community.

This year, CCG continued its Global Dialogue series, talking with global opinion leaders such as Graham Allison, Lawrence Summers, Richard Haas, Fred Bergsten, Henry Paulson,and Kishore Mahbubani. CCG broadcasted the videotaped interviews and transcripts domestically to enable the Chinese audience directly benefit from an international perspective. CCG also participated in 67 international forums and conducted more than 70 exchanges with foreign embassies in China.

With over 30 live broadcasts at home and abroad, 370 foreign media interviews, 284 commentary articles, hundreds of email newsletters and thousands of media reports, CCG promoted multi-channel, two-way international communication and has captured the eyes and ears of senior decision-makers in China and international influencers. As in previous years, we have remained dedicated to developing innovative modes of international communication and building bridges between China and the rest of the world.

CCG gathered the most up-to-date thoughts from the best minds in politics, business and academics from both China and around the world, serving as a platform for exchange and mutual learning. In 2022, CCG overcame countless challenges to hold four large-scale think tank forums, 14 roundtables that provided advice and suggestions for policy makers, four ambassador roundtables, 18 international online seminars, and nine international youth events. We established the CCG New Economy Institute and launched the 30-Expert Roundtable for China and Globalization to conduct research and evaluate global trends, think tank development, talent cultivation, industrial policy, technological innovation, women's rights, and climate change.

In 2022, CCG, as China's leading non-governmental thinktank, produced 57 policy proposals, 11 think tank journals, and 14 internal reference reports in addition to our regulat communications with relevant authorities. The content closely followed global trends and the needs of China’s continued opening-up and development. They also covered Russia-Ukraine conflict, proposals for a Covid-19 response pivot, efforst to improve Sino-US relations, Sino-European relations, China’s deeper engagement in global governance, its efforts to attract more global talent, incentives for attracting more foreigners to study in China, and efforts to improve China international communication. In the process, we have given full play to our advantage as a Chinese think tank with deep ties and regular contacts in the international community, providing policy support to central government ministries and agencies as well as municipal government offices in Beijing.

In the past year, CCG published five books in English, six books in Chinese, eight research reports. In the future, CCG will strengthen our research in globalization emphasizing an international perspective, and work to make more important academic contributions.

CCG also began offering three newsletters - CCG Update, The East is Read, and Pekingnology - becoming perhaps the only Chinese mainland entity to reach thousands of subscribers by email regularly, keeping readers up-to-date with both CCG activities and latest developments in China.

Domestically, CCG was recognized as No. 1 among non-governmental think tanks in China and No. 26 among global counterparts in the Global Think Tank Influence Evaluation Report produced by the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Zhejiang University.

Despite the constant challenges, 2022 was a rewarding year. We hope that having overcome these hardships, everyone is looking forward to a bright and promising 2023. We sincerely wish you and your family a safe and happy new year.

More Information

This book focuses on globalization and China’s evolving role in the world, offering unique perspectives on a number of developments during a tumultuous period that began with Donald Trump’s election and ended with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This period saw the global landscape reshaped by China’s continued rise, intensifying great power competition, and a public health crisis that has changed how we live.

The essays center on three interconnected themes – China’s remarkable development under its policy of Reform and Opening-up, China’s deepening integration into the global economy and rise in an increasingly multipolar world, as well as the quest to revitalize global governance and multilateralism to address the pressing global challenges of the 21st century.

More Information

China and the World in a Changing Context-Perspectives from Ambassadors to China is the latest volume in CCG’s “China and Globalization” series, which seeks to create a balanced global perspective by gathering the views of highly influential scholars, practitioners, and opinion leaders from around the world on issues of policy and governance.

Ambassadors are a kind of vehicle and bellwether for globalization. These diplomatic envoys serve as pivotal contact points between nations across a wide range of fields, from economics and culture, to health and the environment. The special group of ambassadors in this book – all based in Beijing – are at the forefront of what, for many countries, is one of their most important bilateral relationships and the platform for one of the most striking and consequential developments in global affairs in the 21st century: the rise of China on the world stage.

More Information

Released nearly two years after the outbreak of COVID-19, Transition and Opportunity brings together an array of CEOs and senior executives from leading multinationals, leaders of foreign trade associations and representatives of advocacy groups on the ground in China to share their views on the potential and risks China holds for business as the world economy recovers.

The 22 entries in this book include contributions from the heads of Beijing-based chambers of commerce representing the EU, the US, France, Switzerland and Brazil and others, CEOs and senior executives of MNCs like Airbus, Royal DSM, Michelin, LinkedIn and Herbalife as well as representatives of global consulting firms like KPMG, PwC, Accenture and Roland Berger.

Divided into three parts - ‘The Big Picture,’ ‘Analysis and Advice,’ and ‘On the Ground’ - content progresses from looking at how countries balance their own interests with China’s for that elusive ‘win-win’ formula, to the role consultancies and advisors play in helping companies succeed, then looking at the experiences of individual companies to see how they have adapted and thrived in China.

More Information

The internationalization of Chinese enterprises is one of the most notable aspects of economic globalization in the 21st century. Despite the 2008 financial crisis and weak global outbound investment, under the “go global“ initiative, Chinese outbound investment has gone from strength to strength, while also diversifying in terms of investment modalities, destinations, and industries. However, growing anti-globalization sentiment in some countries has also created new challenges for Chinese firms expanding internationally.

Drawing on nearly 3000 data samples, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this book presents unique insights into the features and patterns of Chinese enterprises’ globalization. The analysis provides a useful reference for enterprises that have already gone global and those that plan to. In particular, this book investigates challenges confronted by Chinese companies when doing business in foreign countries. It summarizes research covering three angles, namely: the current situation, causation analysis and corresponding solutions, and recommendations for firms, government agencies and other institutions.

This book provides a comprehensive overview to help readers to grasp the broad picture of the international expansion of Chinese enterprises. It has important reference value for enterprises to help devise foreign investment strategy, seize opportunities, and navigate challenges in the course of globalization.

More Information

This book offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of China’s domestic and international migration. Restructuring economic development requires large numbers of educated and skilled talents, but this effort comes at a time when the size of China’s domestic workforce is shrinking. In response, both national and regional governments in China have been keen to encourage overseas Chinese talents and professionals to return to the country. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has initiated a number of policies to attract international highly-skilled talents and enhance the country’s competitiveness, and some Chinese policies have started attracting foreign talents, who are coming to the country to work, and even to stay. Since Chinese policies, mechanisms, and administration efforts to attract and retain skilled domestic or overseas talents are helping to reshape China’s economy and are significantly affecting the cooperation on migration and talent mobility, these aspects, in addition to being of scholarly and research interest, hold considerable commercial potential.
