China Scholarship Digest: Q2/2021

Academic research on China

Hi folks, welcome to the first issue of the China Scholarship Digest. This new series essentially does the same thing with respect to academic research as the weekly China Analysis Digest does to shorter analyses and opinion articles: scan, aggregate, list. We hope to publish this series once every quarter.

To help us with sources, could you send me the names of the academic journals that you’d like to see in the digest? They can be in English or Chinese. Thanks.

-Adam
