A joint initiative of the Worldwatch Institute and Beijing-based Global Environmental Institute (GEI), China Watch reports on energy, agriculture, population, water, health, and the environment in China—with an emphasis on big-picture analysis relevant to policy makers, the business community, and non-governmental organizations.
Trends in these areas illustrate China's increasingly crucial role in shaping the global future. China Watch highlights the most pertinent developments important for good decision-making both within China and around the globe, building upon Worldwatch Institute's hard-hitting research on the most pressing issues of our time.
By distilling compelling data and analysis on China's emerging economic, business, policy, and advocacy landscape into easy-to-read, Web-friendly news, China Watch updates and analysis reflect the latest information available from both Chinese and English language sources including academic and research institutes, media, policy making organizations, and NGOs.
China Watch is made possible through the support of the Blue Moon Fund.
