Centre for China Analysis and Strategy Information

The 'Centre for China Analysis and Strategy' (CCAS) is a non-profit, apolitical and non-partisan organization established for the objective study, research, and analysis of developments relating to contemporary China and Tibet. It focuses on China's internal developments and politics, China's economy, China's armed forces, China's foreign and strategic policies and China's scientific and technological establishment.
