Description
Summary:	An electron ion collider has been proposed in China (EicC). It is anticipated that the facility would provide polarised electrons, protons and ion beams, in collisions with large centre-of-mass energy. This discussion highlights its potential to address issues that are central to understanding the emergence of mass within the Standard Model, using examples that range from the exploration of light-meson structure, through measurements of near-threshold heavy-quarkonia production, and on to studies of the spectrum of exotic hadrons.
