About the Brookings John L. Thornton China Center
Established in 2006, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings develops timely, independent analysis and policy recommendations to help U.S. and Chinese leaders address key long-standing challenges, both in terms of Sino-U.S. relations and China’s internal development. Through a broad scope of publications, all of the scholarly research conducted in the Thornton China Center is made accessible to both policymakers and the public. Building on the inherent convening power of The Brookings Institution, the center hosts a wide array of public programs, roundtables and conferences to highlight this work. Scholars at the John L. Thornton China Center address many critical issues related to China’s modernization including foreign policy and U.S.-China relations, economics and finance, China’s political leadership, China’s domestic challenges, energy and climate change, and China’s public intellectuals.
