Subject: A new electronic journal Dear netters: "Zhongguo yu Shijie" (China and the World) is a newly created electronic magazine on social political issues of contemporary China, and issues of our increasingly integrated globe. This journal will try to distinguish itself from dozens of Chinese electronic journals already on internet, by not submitting to mainstream ideologies or orthodoxies when discussing social, political and theoretical issues. We regard it as imperative to examine the Western capitalist system with a critical eye, and retrospect China's experience of socialism with a wholistic view and historical objectiveness. We deeply believe China should develop along its own road, according to its own needs and will, rather than imitating the past experience of Western countries. We hope our forum will contribute positively to China's cause of development and progress. The journal will be run mainly by a group of Chinese students studying in US., however, due to the nature of internet, participation is definitely not limited to them. We welcome all people who are interested in the discussion of our forum to join in. The journal is tentatively set to publish bimonthly. The first issue has come out on Oct. 1, 1996. Please reply to the email address below if you would like to receive this journal, and tell us in what format (GB, HZ, BIG5, etc) you would like to receive it. Our website is at http://www.chinabulletin.com, and is being updated continuously. Please check often. Our email address has changed to: chinaway@metropolis.idt.net Please take a notice.
