Welcome to China Residencies' seasonal list of deadlines for residencies, call for papers, job opportunities & lots of different things you can apply for that have a connection to mainland China, Hong Kong, and the greater Chinese diaspora worldwide, plus a whole lot of places you can support to help Chinatowns & Asian diaspora communities.
While it is finally possible for many places in the world to host offline opportunities, it is important to keep in mind that traveling to China is still highly restricted. Many IRL opportunities happening in China are available to people that are already in the country. On the bright side, there are a lot of opportunities hosted in other parts of the world, or remotely.
That being said, good luck, take care & share these with anyone who might be interested, and please spend some time with all the opportunities focused on giving back and supporting each other in these tough times.
