Message from our Chairman

UKNCC is Great Britain's leading educational platform strengthening decision making and facilitating dialogue on China related affairs.

Our activities are designed to help people of the UK make clear sighted decisions on their engagement with China. In an era of an exponential rise of misinformation and uninformed debate, we differentiate 'the noise' from robust, evidenced and well constructed information.

The discourse on China is too often dominated by 'hawks' and 'apologists'. This can lead to over simplification and poor decision making. The UKNCC seeks to promote a fuller debate without entertaining extreme views or perpetuating false silos. China's role in issues of security, climate change, global health, trade and investment and human rights are interconnected concerns affecting government, business and civil society alike. It is only by bringing together and debating a plurality of views can the UK determine how best to engage.

Frank Slevin, Chairman

UKNCC

"Well informed debate and discussion on China related affairs is crucial for good decision making. China has become one of Britain’s most important bilateral relationships, as well as one of the largest geo-political challenges on the world stage today. 

We need our politicians, business leaders and influencers in civil society to be as well informed on China as possible."

Sir Malcolm Rifkind, UKNCC Advisory Board Member
