Today we had a wonderful roundtable at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) to discuss Mapping Global China and reflect on how new approaches to data visualization, digital mapping, and storytelling can transform the way we research and understand China’s global presence.
It was especially rewarding to see how students are helping shape the project, experimenting with new ways of connecting data, research, and storytelling.
We look forward to continuing this collaboration and exploring what these tools can make possible for the broader field of Global China studies.

As the US and China compete for leadership in AI and other critical technologies, attracting and retaining top talent could prove to be the decisive advantage.
