About
The Oxford China Policy Lab (OCPL) is a non-partisan community of researchers based at the University of Oxford. Our goal is to mitigate global risks from US-China relations, with a focus on risks related to artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
We produce academically rigorous, evidence-based, and policy-relevant analysis on critical challenges in US-China relations and their impact on the rest of the world. In our analysis, we interrogate untested claims and exclusively Western- or Sino-centric approaches to promote a factual discourse on China, bringing in local expertise from across the globe to address questions of international importance. Learn more about our research.
We promote collaboration between academic researchers and policymakers by transforming Oxford into a hub for meaningful discussion on China, the US, and the world. Learn more about our events and dialogues.
We train the next generation of China experts by helping the world’s most promising young talent develop experience related to China and emerging technologies through research and professional training opportunities. We empower rising talent to pursue careers that will positively impact the world. Learn more about our fellowship program.
Our researchers have worked in academia, government, think tanks and NGOs, and the private sector. We were raised around the world and educated at top universities across Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. We come from a range of academic backgrounds, including China studies, politics and international relations, computer science, economics, and philosophy.
