The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) is a leading Chinese non-government think tank based in Beijing. It is dedicated to the study of Chinese public policy and globalization. Boasting a strong research team, it enjoys an impressive record of publications and events with broad public policy impact. CCG’s research agenda centers on China’s growing role in the world, drawing from issues of global governance, global trade and investment, global migration, international relations, and other topics pertaining to regional and global development.

Two well-known scholars, Dr. Wang Huiyao and Dr. Miao Lu, founded the CCG in 2008. Today near 100 in-house researchers and staff serve this thinking hub with subsidiaries and divisions spanning across China including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou,Qingdao and Hong Kong.

CCG is a not-for-profit and non-governmental organization registered with the civil affairs system of Chinese authorities. It is independently funded by research grants and donations from private and corporate donors. The think tank is supported by a business advisory council that consists of over 150 Chinese private entrepreneurs. Many prominent Chinese private business leaders, such as Cao Dewang, Ronnie Chan, Wang Shi, Wang Junfeng, Robin Li, Jiang Xipei, and others currently serve on the executive committee of CCG advisory council. CCG’s finances are annually disclosed to its advisory board meeting and to all members. It bears no fiscal support of the Chinese government. CCG’s policy advisory role is by no means equivalent to affiliation with state apparatus, especially the United Front Works Department (UFWD). For years, CCG has been ranked by the Think Tank and Civil Society Program (TTCSP) at University of Pennsylvania as one of the world’s top 50 independent think tank.

Over the years, CCG has gained wide international recognition and has been visited by numerous foreign dignitaries, politicians, prominent business leaders and think tank experts from around the world. Please check the partial list below for who they are：
