Think tanks in China

Over the past decade, there has been a growth of think tanks in China. At On Think Tanks, we have been observing and analysing this growth, looking closely at the characteristics of the context contributing to this thrive. There is a bigger demand from the government for research and this receptive environment has led to the establishment of more than 200 new think tanks in the country. In this series, we explore the Chinese think tank environment, the challenges these organisations face, their intellectual independence, policy actors and more.
