Explore important issues relevant to contemporary China with world-class academics from the London School of Economics (LSE) and Peking University (PKU).

Over two weeks, participants undertake an in-depth examination of new and exciting approaches to the important issues facing China and the world today, across a range of subjects including international relations, law, finance, economics, management, media, geography, big data, and social policy.
