The weekly Chinapolitan newsletter from CIDW covers current events in China’s economy, politics, and society, placing them within a broader context. What sets Chinapolitan apart is that the authors rely on original Chinese sources. This approach brings to light topics often overlooked by Western media. Additionally, readers gain an excellent insight into the Chinese perspective on various issues.

China can only be approached with an effort to understand, as it is extraordinarily diverse, complex, and unique. No longer just a copycat of the West, it has become a hub of innovation — yet also a land of enduring contradictions. The Chinapolitan newsletter is a unique resource for gaining insight into China. Chinese and Western sources are contextualized and interpreted with precision, straightforwardness, and clarity. A must-read for anyone engaged with China, innovative companies, and geopolitics.

Chinapolitan is authentic and delivers current information from China—compact, factual, or analytical, depending on your personal interest.

Chinapolitan offers a well-curated overview of what’s happening in China, clearly separating news from analysis. It helps me better understand Chinese partners and connect with current discussions.

It doesn’t get better than this: a team of experts painstakingly works through thousands of pages of Chinese sources and then gets straight to the point. You can even keep it shorter and just read “what we think about it” — the best executive summary of the market currently available.

Your newsletter steers clear of both pandering to the Chinese dictatorship and Chinabashing. As a result, it remains objective, strives successfully for fairness, and is informative as well.
