Hosted by Rice University and sponsored by the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, the Transnational China Project is an effort to develop new approaches to the study of contemporary China through the use of advanced technologies and inter-institutional collaboration. Scholars from Duke, UCLA, Harvard, Rice, and others have contributed commentary, curriculum materials, and other pedagogical resources. The ultimate goal of the project is "a state-of-the-art, multi-lingual, electronic archive . . . available for both course development and research." Currently, users will find the text of several speeches and a roundtable, lectures and syllabi, student projects, and an interesting presentation on Outdoor Political Advertising in Shanghai. The section on political ads also examines the conflation of corporate advertising with public service announcements; in one instance, Shanghai citizens are instructed: "Drink Pepsi/Respect Greenery and Stay Out of the Flower Beds."
