Happy New Year with ChinAffairsplus
Happy New Year 2026 ✨
Dear friends，
I am SUN Chenghao, a fellow with Center for International Security and Security(CISS) of Tsinghua University, Council Member of The Chinese Association of American Studies, a visiting scholar at Paul Tsai China Center of Yale Law School in 2024 and Munich Young Leader 2025.
As we bid farewell to 2025 and welcome the promise of the year ahead, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your continued support.
Since the launch of ChinAffairsplus（中国通） in August 2024, our newsletter has grown into a truly global community of readers. Your sustained interest in China-related affairs motivates us to continuously refine our content and to share in-depth perspectives rooted in China’s academic and policy discourse with audiences worldwide.
Over the past year and four months, ChinAffairsplus has made steady and meaningful progress. Beyond curating research by leading Chinese scholars in our Selected Articles and China Scholar Insights sections to offer exclusive commentary on pressing global and regional issues, we have also introduced the Ask China column and expanded our offerings by featuring podcasts from CISS and other institutions, further enriching the breadth and depth of our content.
As our team continues to grow and our expertise becomes increasingly diverse, we are excited to share our plans for the year ahead. In 2026, ChinAffairsplus aims to introduce more in-depth interviews with scholars and practitioners, while producing a greater volume of original and exclusive analysis to provide timely and nuanced perspectives on major global and regional developments.
Over the past year, I have also had many meaningful exchanges with readers of ChinAffairsplus, both online and in person. Your encouragement, thoughtful questions, and candid feedback have meant a great deal to me and have been a constant source of motivation for this personal initiative. I hope you will continue to challenge and inspire me with your ideas and suggestions in the year ahead. If you are interested in potential collaboration or simply wish to continue the conversation, you are most welcome to contact me at sch0625@gmail.com.
Looking forward, we are eager to better understand your expectations regarding both our content and formats. We warmly welcome your feedback, suggestions, and ideas, and hope to foster deeper interaction and dialogue with our readers as we continue to grow together.
From all of us at ChinAffairsplus, we wish you a very Happy New Year—may it bring success in your work, joy in your life, and fulfillment in all that you pursue. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
Warm regards,
The ChinAffairsplus Team
