The NHSDLC was founded on a commitment to bringing debate to students across China. We believe that debate is a valuable skill which should be cultivated and emphasized in every school in every city, and we do our best to make that possible. We travel throughout the country and run tournaments from Lanzhou to Xiamen, from Harbin to Chengdu, in order to ensure that more students have access to debate. We believe that good debate is the product of hard work and commitment, and that anyone can be a champion, no matter where they’re from.

As part of our commitment to smaller cities and the social responsibility to expand the reach of debate, the NHSDLC is running two tournaments aimed expressly at students from outside Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. These tournaments, the National High School Debate League of China Wild Card Invitationals, will be online held on November 28-29 and December 12-13.

Attending teams must be composed of students from Chinese cities other than Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
