Our China Observatory provides sustained scrutiny of the Chinese Communist Party, seeking to monitor and evaluate its political evolution, global behaviour, and strategic actions. Working in close partnership with academic experts, industry leaders, and legislators, the Observatory aims to guide HM Government in formulating a coherent and resilient ‘China policy’.
The Observatory achieves this by delivering rigorous, research-led, and non-partisan analysis strictly from a British vantage point.
