ABOUT US
China Focus is the student publication of the 21st Century China Center at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). We aim to provide the context and originality needed for an informed discussion on China and its global impact.
We provide a platform for GPS and UCSD students/alumni, as well as graduate students at APSIA schools and affiliates, to publish polished articles related to Chinese current events, interesting China research, or fresh perspectives on important China topics!
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
我们的中文专栏——中文选粹目前也已经正式开放，欢迎大家投稿！
Our current theme is China in the World, and we particularly welcome topics related to China’s bilateral relations with countries besides the U.S. Some of our weekly articles also cover Chinese current events.
Submissions should be original articles of around 800-1200 words in length. Pieces should properly cite references in a consistent format, preferably including in-text links. If we select your article for publication, you will be asked to provide a short bio and headshot for an author’s box.
If you need guidance on our citation format and writing style, feel free to check out our main page for recently published articles. Remaining questions can be directed to the email address linked below.
