Taihe Institute


Taihe Institute, otherwise known as Taihe or TI, was a Chinese think tank founded in 2013 in Beijing. It was disbanded as of September 19, 2025.

Publications

Taihe produced TI Library, a collection of its researchers’ findings. Taihe also produces TI Observer, a monthly English publication, to which policy makers, diplomats, industry experts, and thought leaders are invited to share their insights on trending global issues. TI Observer vol. 21 is referred by the American magazine Foreign Policy in its analysis of non-alignment theory.
In March 2019, “General Xue Lectures on Sun Tzu's Art of War,” authored by Xue Guo’an, a senior fellow of the Taihe Institute, and the first book listed under the “Taihe Institute Book Series,” was published by the state-owned CITIC Press Group. In September 2025, the think tank closed in what Lianhe Zaobao said was related to the political downfall of Gao Yichen, a former 610 Office official and former deputy minister of the Ministry of State Security.

COVID-19 disinformation

In August 2021, Taihe Institute, together with the Intelligence & Alliance Think Tank, published a report titled "U.S. Responsible for Global Spread of COVID-19."
