Exploring dynamics and fostering development

Welcome to the China and Asia Hub, where we explore the dynamic interactions between China and the world. Our research spans crucial areas such as sustainable finance, artificial intelligence technology, and regional integration in globalisation, exemplified by initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). We also focus on foreign direct investment (FDI) and capability upgrading, exploring how these elements influence and are influenced by China's global engagement. Through rigorous analysis and innovative research, we aim to provide valuable insights into the complex and evolving landscape of China's interactions with surrounding countries and the broader international community. Join us as we explore the opportunities and challenges in this vital region and uncover pathways for sustainable growth and development.
