Some testimonials:

"Top Notch"
O.P. Agarwal,
CEO, World Resources Institute (India)
The videos were absolutely outstanding with some top notch speakers, who had, obviously done a near lifetime of work on China. It was really great to get such speakers. The readings were extremely useful and above all, I like the way you had structured the entire program. It was unique, but exactly the structure that worked well with me. It has created a lot of interest in China for me and I look forward to studying this more closely.

"An absolute must..."

I thought it was an excellent program with experts from both China and outside China bringing a balanced perspective of the history and various paths ahead for the country. An absolute must for anyone with deep interest in China studies and understanding the current geopolitical scenarios.
