Coming Soon
Next month, we'll publish the newest issue of Made in China Journal, exploring the emergence of political depression in contemporary China and offering fresh perspectives on its relationship to agency, resistance and authoritarian rule.
While later in August, we look forward to releasing a thought-provoking monograph that examines the challenges facing the global economic order, presenting ideas for sustained cooperation and prosperity in an increasingly fragmented world. |

Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026
This issue of Made in China Journal explores the concept of political depression as a culturally and socially shaped response to authoritarianism, disenfranchisement and social upheaval.
Examining its emergence and expression in contemporary China, this issue considers how historical trauma, the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 White Paper movement have shaped experiences of hopelessness, agency and resistance.
