Stay in the know on
all things China

“I've had to read voraciously to come up the curve, and by far some of the best research has come from TCG. The level of detail in their pieces is impressive, but it’s also actionable; it wouldn’t be out of place in something as focused as a management meeting. But most importantly? They approach China issues with genuine objectivity and affinity; something which traditional outlets often fail to do. Suffice to say, I’m a fan.”

“I’ve devoted my career to studying the differences between the US and Chinese tech scenes from the inside out. Throughout the journey, I’ve noticed a troubling trend; there’s often a knowledge gap between the West and China. TCG is one of those rare resources that attempts to fill that need and does it really well. I appreciate the time they spend in compiling reports and analyses, all of which have been invaluable to me as an academic.”

“As an economist, I appreciate the heavy-hitting stats that TCG scatters throughout its content; as an individual, I also enjoy the different perspectives that drive their analyses. The team is great at unraveling the complex web of China’s political economy – and scribbling them down in simple terms. It doesn’t need to be complicated to get straight to the bottom line of activity within China’s political economy.”

“I’ve noticed a difference between the team at TCG versus those at major media outlets. Instead of first learning to write and then learning China like traditional journalists, TCGers seem to have first studied China – its language, its culture, its industries – and then turned to writing. They’re not trying to take a stance, rather explain their take on industry activity. Most importantly, they back it up with data. That’s where their value lies.”

“Staying up to date on the latest happenings doesn’t need to be a chore. The Weekly Steep offers a great way to keep your finger on the China pulse through fun-to-read Morning Brew-style summaries on a wide variety of topics. My advice? Whether you’re a student specializing in East Asia, a professional looking to break into the Chinese market, or simply curious about the rise of the Middle Kingdom, give it a read.”

“I read a lot of publications to stay up to date on business news around the world. TCG presents information in a quick-read format while The Weekly Steep gets to the heart of the matter quickly with a 'Bottom Line' that makes it easy to stay informed on key Chinese happenings. The wide range of topics covered also keeps it fresh to follow – from updates on China’s gaming industry to the 14th FYP, TWS provides something for everyone!”
