This paper reviews the history, feature, achievements and challenges of area studies in China since 1960s.

Until now, it has contributed significantly to China’s foreign relations and international trade; in the meantime, area studies in China still face three challenges, namely, blurred subject classification, imbalanced curriculum and lack of fieldwork.
