ChinaKnowledge.de

Theobald runs the ChinaKnowledge.de website, an online encyclopedia of Chinese history and literature.[12] The website appears on several undergraduate study guides: the Australian National University noted that it was useful because its content was largely derived from Chinese language secondary sources;[13] Smith College wrote that it was a "good first place to checks texts or names to get background information".[14]
