Description
As China’s economic, political, and cultural footprint expands, the need for high-quality data and analytical tools to better understand it is crucial. With Corporation support, Mapping Global China will enable scholars, policymakers, students, journalists, and more to explore China’s international engagement with precision and nuance. Through open-access curated datasets, interactive maps, and advanced data visualization tools, Mapping Global China will empower individuals to explore China’s multifaceted presence around the world based on their unique interests and needs. By offering a holistic perspective that extends beyond economic metrics to include geopolitical and cultural dimensions, Mapping Global China will help foster transparency, counter misperceptions, and facilitate informed discourse on China’s growing international role.
