The National High School Debate League of China, or simply NHSDLC, is an English-language high school debate league serving Mainland China. Some have raised concerns about potential corruption and bribery involving the judges within the organization. It uses the Public Forum debate format.[ citation needed ] Each year, the NHSDLC sees around 50,000 students participate in its debate workshops [1] and around 12,000 students participate in its regional or national tournaments that it hosts in more than 33 cities in China.

It was founded in 2012, [7] and it hosted one of China's first ever English-language high school national debate tournaments for local students at Peking University [8] in May 2013. Each year, its national debate championship hosted in Beijing attracts 450 students from around China.
