China Vitae is a resource of biographical information on
more than 5000 Chinese leaders in government, politics, the
military, education, business, and the media. China Vitae
tracks the appearances and travel of approximately 500
leading Chinese officials. Searchable information is
available on date and location of activity, officials in

records official announcements as they occur of new
appointments to senior Party and government positions.

The China-Africa Knowledge Project Resource Hub is a one-
stop shop for researchers and practitioners working on the
China-Africa relationship. As the primary platform for the
work of the Social Science Research Council's China-Africa
Knowledge Project, this site actively builds generative
connections between scholars across disciplines and regions
while organizing a growing and fragmented body of knowledge
and connecting it to important trends in the social sciences
relevant for understanding Africa's new international
relations.

Over the past few years the National Diet Library in Tokyo
has digitized a large amount of prewar materials. Most are
in Japanese, and a few in Chinese. Many are available
online. It is certainly easier to enter, for example, “支那経

buy an airline ticket to Tokyo. An increasingly important
resource.
