New ideas and paradigms are needed in research in the field of China studies to keep up with the pace and expanding scale of China’s links to the rest of the world. Building upon the solid foundation established by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Global China Research Programme was founded in September 2015 as a multidisciplinary research programme with a vision and a mission to promote research work relevant to China’s global engagement.

	To assess the economic opportunities and challenges for China and Hong Kong arising out of new Chinese government strategies and policies;
	To evaluate the reception of and reactions to China’s global impact in Greater China and among China’s external partners;
	To study the institutional framework and mechanisms of governance and coordination that may facilitate regional cooperation and the management of issues arising out of China’s global activities;
	To examine the humanistic ramifications and interfaces of China’s global outreach with special reference to historic roots, inter-cultural exchanges, and diasporic settlements; and
	To explore Hong Kong’s unparalleled role and position in bridging China and the world across all of the above areas.
