Brings China closer

ChinaNU+

From the Editor-in-Chief

The new ChinaNU+ flashes open on the screen, the magazine of VNC in a modern jacket. Moving with the times, but holding on to our objectives, versatile reporting on China. Not blindly going along with one-sided reporting, black-and-white representation of matters, the emerging enemy thinking. VNC is looking for the connection without wanting to bind ourselves to anyone. We are independent and we are a Dutch, free, association.

VNC brings news and backgrounds on economic, cultural and scientific subjects about China by our own authors and experts. In this edition a lot of information in a selection of articles that is not discussed in other media. Read the article by Glenn van der Meer about contemporary business in China today, click through to the blockbuster Ne Zha or to Martijn de Geus, the Dutch architect who has been teaching and doing research at the top university of Beijing for 15 years. Check our site for even more articles and inspiration.
