Welcome

As never before, the world’s attention and its fortunes are focused on and tied to the burgeoning growth of China.  The fate of China and the United States as the world’s superpowers is inextricably linked.  As such, this is an especially opportune historical moment to deepen the impact the Johns Hopkins institutions can have in understanding China’s influence and to train leaders who can partner to address the most pressing challenges facing these two great nations.

The Benjamin and Rhea Yeung Center for Collaborative China Studies at the Johns Hopkins University thrives to identify, facilitate, and strengthen collaboration with China and involving China—collaboration across disciplines and divisions and among Chinese and American faculty, researchers, and students.

The Yeung Center serves as a gateway to a previously unexplored universe for students, faculty, and visiting scholars whose academic, clinical, and professional pursuits could be dramatically enhanced with exposure to Chinese language, culture, and social science.

The Yeung Center’s considered, cohesive approach to China studies at Johns Hopkins will have far-reaching effects that, over time, will extend to all areas of society, from higher education to healthcare, from political ideology to pollution, and from technology to international trade.
