I really like the idea, especially regarding the idea of improving understanding between the West and China. Unfortunately, I think Wikipedia won’t work because Wikipedia has very strict norms against non-volunteer contributions. There are Chinese alternatives, but IIRC they are under relatively tight ideological control.
Write encyclopedias (esp. Wikipedia), then translate them (esp. to Russian and Chinese)
Epistemic Institutions
Create a team of people who will write articles on Wikipedia on subjects related to EA. Why this is important is described here.
Besides writing articles on English Wikipedia, they can also:
Create good illustrations (somehow, medical articles tend to have much beter pictures than other areas)
Translate these articles to other languages (especially Russian and Chinese)
Topics that are not notable enough for Wikipedia can be described in a separate encyclopedia.
