Each one has a DIFFERENT meaning

1. China Economic Diplomacy Centre
2. China Centre for Economic Diplomacy
3. Economic Diplomacy Centre of China
4. Centre of China Economic Centre


How about

Center for Chinese Economic Diplomacy

Isn't that what you want to REALLY to establish?

4. Centre of China Economic Centre



The second title is the most Western expression.

The first and third titles are equally awkward.

The fourth title really doesn't make much sense.

The center that is going to be set up is as a matter of fact a research center for the study of China's Economic Diplomacy under the School of International Economics, which forms, along with other 9 schools, the China Foreign Affairs University. It is not a "national" research center at all. So what more have you got to say about it?

By the way

We have Cancer Research Centers, so modeling that, I'd suggest
