Recent visits to CCG Beijing Academy
June 26 , 2025Domestic and international organisations, foundations, and ambassadors visit CCG’s new venue.
Since March 2025, the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) has operated its new Beijing Academy in Chaoyang District. The Academy has already hosted its first group of domestic and international guests for visits, discussions, and a variety of events.
With the launch of the Beijing Academy, CCG now operates three offices in the capital. In addition to the new academy, CCG maintains an office in Beijing’s Central Business District, which serves as a base for engagement with the international business community, diplomatic missions, and global partners. It also runs an office in Tongzhou, Beijing’s sub-centre, which focuses on international talent development and youth leadership. The Tongzhou office also serves as the Beijing office for the Alliance of Global Talent Organisations (AGTO).
