Features: Over the past half-century, Chinese studies, which originated overseas, has moved from the periphery of the social sciences to the center of this knowledge system. It has transitioned from an academic domain dominated by Western scholars to a shared research interest among scholars worldwide, including Chinese scholars. At the same time, it has become a window for the global academic community to understand the development and progress of Chinese society. The founding purpose of China Studies was to promote the accumulation of empirical knowledge and the advancement of knowledge in the field of Chinese studies, while also ensuring that the increasingly prominent field of Chinese studies could hear the voices of China. The first issue featured a themed discussion on rural China studies, academic papers, book reviews, and essays.
