Established in 2001, The Ohio State University’s Institute for Chinese Studies (俄亥俄州立大學中國研究所/俄亥俄州立大学中国研究所) serves as a center for scholarly research, student training, and public programming about the Chinese-speaking world for OSU faculty, students, the K-12 community, business and government, and members of the general public. ICS focuses on the dissemination of knowledge about the cultures, languages, history, politics, economies, and the educational institutions of the Chinese-speaking world. Activities sponsored by the Institute not only focus on the People’s Republic of China but encompass the Chinese societies of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia as well.
