The China Center was established in 1979 to manage the University of Minnesota's exchanges with the People's Republic of China. For more than three decades, the China Center has reflected the firm and long-standing commitment of the University to international research, teaching, and outreach.
The history of the China Center starts with the first admission of Chinese students to the University in 1914. The University’s commitment to academic exchange with China only grew from there. A brief timeline of China Center activities and accomplishments is available.
An advisory board of distinguished leaders from the University of Minnesota, the business community, Minnesota government, and the local community oversee the China Center and recommends annual project plans. Learn more about the China Center Advisory Council.
The China Center is operated within the University of Minnesota's Global Programs and Strategy Alliance by a small staff of dedicated individuals. The China Center also oversees the administration of the University’s office in Beijing. Learn more about China Center staff.
In 2003, the China Center organized the Corporate Partnership that is committed to fostering U.S.-China business relationships that result in harmonious and profitable collaborations between U.S. and Chinese business people. Learn more about the China Center Corporate Partnership.
