China Policy regularly hosts interns to support operations at their strategic advisory and research organisation based in Beijing.
About China Policy
China Policy is a Beijing-based strategic advisory and research company, serving clients around the world. Founders Philippa Jones and David Kelly, each with over 30 years of China experience, now joined by partner Amanda Rasmussen, lead a skilled team of policy research analysts.
China Policy’s strategic advisory services are based on close, systematic tracking and translating of policy discussion in Chinese across core economic and social sectors. Mapping and analysing this discussion, China Policy clarifies the frames of reference shaping policy decisions. China Policy’s distinct research approach comes together in cp.context. This bilingual online system transforms the way organisations can access, contextualise, build and retain knowledge on China’s policy process. Often foreshadowing new policy settings, this evidence-based approach moves clients to the front foot and equips them for nuanced and productive engagement with Chinese counterparts.
China Policy produces a series of five monthly policy Records covering economy; energy, resources and climate; social policy; governance and law and agriculture, food and water security.
