Partnerships

We believe the most interesting things happening in China are rarely the most visible, or the most sensationalised. We take a layered, multi-dimensional, and resolutely apolitical approach to a country of extraordinary geographic mass and cultural depth, surfacing the aspects that genuinely reward attention.

We work with people and organisations who share that conviction. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

Local Operators and Experiences

We are always looking for places, experiences, and operators in China that deserve more attention from discerning international visitors — restaurants, tea houses, boutique accommodations, cultural spaces, craft studios, and the kind of destinations that don't advertise themselves.

Inclusion in Mandarin Unpeeled is always editorial — not every submission makes it in, and that's precisely what makes a mention worth having. We partner with those who know their cities to tell us what's genuinely worth investigating, and we take every introduction seriously.

If you're running something worth knowing about, we'd love to hear from you.

We also work with boutique tour operators interested in offering bespoke itineraries to our readers. If you build the kind of China experience that rewards discerning travellers, we'd like to know about you.

Content Partners

We collaborate with documentary makers, journalists, and storytellers who need more than surface-level research for China-focused projects. If you're building something that requires genuine cultural depth — the kind of POV that takes years to develop and curate — we can help you find the right frame.

We offer research briefings, cultural consultation, and perspectives that most China coverage misses entirely.

Institutional Partners

We work with educational institutions, think tanks, chambers of commerce, and professional associations looking for China intelligence that goes beyond the headline. Whether you're building a curriculum, convening a panel, or preparing a delegation for a China engagement, we can provide the cultural and contextual briefing that makes the difference between informed and genuinely fluent.
