CENTRE FOR CHINA ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY The 'Centre for China Analysis and Strategy' (CCAS) is a non-profit and apolitical organization established initially for the objective study, research and analysis of developments relating to contemporary China and Tibet. It will focus on China's internal developments and politics, China's economy, China's armed forces, China's foreign and strategic policies and China's scientific and technological establishment. The CCAS bases its studies primarily on material and reports in the Chinese and Tibetan languages. These are supplemented with inputs from other specialized published works, meetings with Chinese, Tibetan and other experts in India and abroad, and conferences and seminars related to China and Tibet.
