For 10 years now, the USC U.S.-China Institute has helped inform public discussion of what’s important in the U.S.-China relationship and what is changing. We’ve done this through our conferences and public talks, through our documentaries and web magazines, through the faculty and student research we’ve sponsored, and through professional development programs for teachers and others. We’ve also done this through our web calendar and Talking Points newsletter. Where else can you find a comprehensive continent-wide listing of events and exhibitions relating to China? Journalists and others routinely draw on the research of institute-affiliated experts or look to them for informed commentary.
All of these efforts take money and we need your help if we are to continue, so please consider supporting the Institute with a tax deductible contribution. Gifts of any size are both needed and appreciated. It is quick and easy to donate via the secure USC server, via check, or via wire transfer.
Please act now if you believe that timely, reliable, and research-driven information about today’s China and about the U.S.-China relationship is essential. A new U.S. president will soon assume office and in Fall 2017, and China’s Communist Party will assemble to determine who will lead China for the next five years. Major economic, security, and other policies are in flux. Please support the USC U.S.-China Institute so that we can continue to foster a fuller, deeper, and more nuanced understanding of the 21st century’s most crucial relationship.

US-China Today, a student driven publication that provides students with hands-on experience in analysis and communication and provide readers with timely, reliable, and interesting articles, interviews, reviews, infographics, photo essays, and more.

Assignment: China series on how American journalists have covered China from the 1940s to today as well as our short focused looks at timely issues (for example
The Pivot on the Obama administration's reemphasis on the Pacific region and
The Thaw on the changing relationship between the mainland and Taiwan) all need funding to cover stipends, travel, and other costs.
Public Programming

Major Gifts
