About Us

The CEAP aims to provide a daily brief on contemporary developments within China and its external engagements. Daily developments are categorized under the following sections: Internal (Politics, Economy, S&T), Regional (China’s interactions primarily with East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Pacific, and also with other regions including Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East), Big power politics and China's global power projections. The CEAP aims to build an online database on China by collating information from different regions and divergent sources. The objective is to capture different narratives and make sense of information and dis-information.
