| Sumario: | Since China adopted the policy of reform and opening up in 1978, Chinese logicians have made a great effort to promote logical research and education in China, and have achieved great success: established a substantive engagement with international logic circles; published publish their research in international journals indexed by SCI, SSCI, and A&HCI, or in prestigious international presses, while also attending and hosting international conferences, workshops, and seminars; set up institutes for logic research and education, some of which have developed very rapidly and have taken on an international flavor; made advancements in the sub-disciplines of logic, including history of logic (especially of Chinese logic), logic of induction and probability, logic of decision and game, logic of natural language, philosophy of logic, informal logic, critical thinking, argumentation theory, legal logic, and so on; built a relatively complete system for logic research and education. However, there are still disadvantages and shortcomings in the pursuit of logic research and education: the level of our international engagement is quite low; our educational and training situation is lacking, awaiting further promotion; and we need competent Chinese logicians to write and publish a set of high-quality basic logic textbooks covering all branches of logic.
