Asia Centre

The Brainstorming Group on China Current Affairs brings together analyses from experts and researchers on China’s domestic politics, strategic affairs and foreign policy. The group meets eight times a year upon invitation in Paris. At each roundtable, discussion is based on the original paper of a leading specialist. Topics this year include China-Pakistan relations, the PLA Navy modernization, US-China relations after the presidential elections in the US, and Chinese perceptions and practice of economic security. Each year in June the group hosts an international conference: Asia Centre’s Annual Seminar on Chinese Contemporary Politics.
