We help leaders make better decisions on China by providing

Educational Programmes
What insights and capabilities do you and your team need to better understand China and how it relates to you? How resilient is your organisation to risks stemming from China?
Our educational programmes are delivered in three formats:

Our courses are an excellent and cost effective way of up-skilling individuals and teams in your organisation to ensure you can stay ahead of your competition and know how to manage risks.

Pathfinder Dialogues
UKNCC’s Pathfinder Dialogues utilise the principles of the Track II diplomacy to enable vibrant, free and open discussions, in situations where formality and protocols restrict conversations and progress.
UKNCC defines Track II activity as the “efforts of non-governmental, non-state players (think tanks, academic institutions, cultural organisations, and private individuals) to achieve goals traditionally pursed through official government-to-government or business-to-government engagement”.
In today’s geopolitical landscape of Western-Chinese relations, people-to-people engagement has emerged as a vital instrument for navigating specific issues and macro points of difference.
As an independent convenor, UKNCC can bring parties to the table in a dynamic ‘safe space’ – something that is particularly valuable when formal channels are limited or direct engagement is counterproductive. Our Pathfinder Dialogues are a useful tool for governments and businesses when they need to ‘feel out’ potential solutions on complex issues.
