China’s emergence as a key player on the world stage is occasion to reflect on Chinese civilization and its significance for global humanity.

The China Forum convenes Chinese academics and public figures with international partners to discuss common challenges at the intersection of culture, ethics, and global society.

Through academic seminars, public events, and an online platform, the China Forum will initially focus on three topics: the global ecological crisis; humanities education for a global era; and the ethics of artificial intelligence.

Organized by

Established in 1998 by Ron Anton, S.J., TBC serves as a hub for the international Jesuit higher education network in mainland China. What makes us unique is our place in a long and storied tradition, starting with Matteo Ricci, of Jesuit learning engaging with Chinese culture.

This tradition teaches us that true cultural engagement starts with friendship.
