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..."
Harish Iyer
Senior Advisor, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
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.

"An excellent effort..."
Shailendra Raj Mehta
President, MICA
Leading scholars from India, the US, and China provided a variety of perspectives that would simply not be available anywhere else. They did an admirable job of distilling complex and fast-changing subjects into tightly packed and beautifully produced videos. The in-person interactions made the lectures come alive – literally! Overall, an excellent effort by the Asian Century Foundation['s AsiaSlate] that has us all wanting more.
"Exceeded my expectations..."
Swagato Ganguly
Former Editorial Page Editor, Times of India
The program has exceeded my expectations. It's well put together and very useful. The readings are excellent, as are the lectures. You ought to run more of these programs.
