President's Message
 Welcome
to the homepage of the Association of Chinese Political Studies (ACPS). ACPS
is a scholarly association founded in 1986 in the
U.S.
to facilitate academic and scholarly exchanges among
China
scholars from all parts of the world. Throughout the years, we have expanded
our membership to all background, non-Chinese scholars who study Chinese
politics and society. Our
mission is to promote the understanding of Chinese politics and society
among academic communities. As the President, I invite all of our members to
help the association reach out to all academic communities on China
studies around the world
to bring together
China scholars and students from all fields of inquiry, regions, and occupational
endeavors.
We just concluded a successful international conference in conjunction with our ACPS 20th annual meeting hosted by Center for US-China Policy Studies and co-sponsored by the College of BSS at San Francisco State University and the Mr. Mrs. S.H. Wong Foundation, Ltd. Hong Kong. The conference received a wide coverage by local Chinese media, such as World Journal, Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao, Qiao Bao, KTSF Ch. 26, etc. Wang Jianwei and Yu Bin at the conference were invited to "Talk Night" at a local TV KTSF Ch. 26 to speak on China's new foreign policy under Hu Jintao. Professors Joseph Fewsmith and Robert Ross, the nation's foremost China scholars, delivered excellent keynote addresses on two separate, most important topics in Chinese foreign and domestic policies: China's naval power and the Sino-US relations and the problems of governance in China. People from the SF bay area communities also attended the conference. It was a great international gathering at which our members and distinguished China scholars from the United States, China,Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Europe and elsewhere came together to exchange their views on the topics related to the broad theme of the conference and other important topics related to China. We are planning to publish two edited books from the high quality conference papers.
Please check the ACPS website for updates. We look forward to your continued support and advice!
ACPS will continue to sponsor panels
at the American Political Science Association’s annual meetings. We will
also co-sponsor an international conference with the People's
University of China or other universities every other two years. If you have any
question or suggestion, please contact me at sguo@sfsu.edu
or at the address provided below. We look forward to your
continued support and participation.
