We've been working away on the web site this summer, but have neglected the blog. Those interested can now read excerpts of transcripts of three fairly recent conferences held by leading Mainland New Confucians (Gan Yang, Chen Ming, Zeng Yi, Tang Wenming, Qiu Feng). Mainland New Confucians are far more politically ambitious than diaspora New Confucians, and these exchanges offer an interesting window onto their world.

About this site
This web site is devoted to the subject of intellectual life in contemporary China, and more particularly to the writings of establishment intellectuals. What you will find here are essentially translations of Chinese texts that we consider important, together with discussions of related issues and a number of reference tools that can help those interested to navigate the project.
