Aims and scope

The aim of the Journal of Chinese Economic and Foreign Trade Studies (JCEFTS) is to publish high-quality research on economic, business, and foreign trade issues relevant to China and its economic relations globally.

The scope of the journal has recently expanded to include economies that have significant relations with China, particularly those in South and South-East Asia.   

We welcome research papers based on theoretical insights, empirical testing of 'accepted' theory, literature reviews, case studies and papers which present conceptually new and thoughtful arguments, whether theory or policy-focused. 

All submitted papers are double-anonymous peer-reviewed to ensure academic rigour and integrity.
