Many wish good luck to Hu Shuli's new magazine Century WeeklyPosted by Alice Xin Liu, January 11, 2010 4:45 PM
Hu Shuli, China's "most formidable editor," in charge of Caijing until late last year, took over New Century Weekly (新世纪周刊) and published her first issue under the banner Caixin Media (财新传媒) on January 4, 2009. The magazine, as previously, is published by Hainan Reform and Development Research Institution (海南发改研究院) joint with TeamWork (北京天意华鼎元广告公司), an advertising company, but the masthead in the new magazine reflects Hu Shuli's Caijing team, down to the journalists and the managing editors. As soon as the news leaked that Hu Shuli was going to edit New Century Weekly (which under the previous Caijing editor is now renamed Century Weekly, but still keeping its Chinese title) there were accusations that she had not fulfilled her duties to Sun Yat-sen University, where she was rumored to take over its journalism department in November 2009, soon after her departure from Caijing magazine. Outrage also followed when 21 old employees of New Century Weekly reportedly applied for labor arbitration after rumors that the old team would be laid off and replaced by Hu's team. On the New Century Weekly Sina blog, a final-sounding post was uploaded on January 6:
Reactions to the change of editorship came in the form of newspaper editorials as well as blog posts. Ten Years Chopping Timber (十年砍柴) is a reporter at Legal Daily: he wrote in an Southern Metropolis Daily editorial to comment on the move and gave the conclusion that no-one should blame Hu Shuli. An ex-deputy editor of New Century Weekly, Wen Zhang (文章), also blogged about his reaction to the takeover: it satisfied him, he wrote. Both posts are translated below. Century Weekly (新世纪周刊) under Hu Shuli's Caixin Media's is now published online in English. As well as this publication, though, Hu also posts a Weekly English Digest in PDF form on her Sun Yat-sen University website. New Century Weekly's ordeal over personnel -

Books on China
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?
