The China Quarterly is a British peer-reviewed academic journal that was established in 1960 and focuses on all aspects of contemporary Mainland China and Taiwan. It covers a range of subjects including anthropology, business, literature and the arts, economics, geography, history, international affairs, law, politics, and sociology. Each issue contains articles and research reports, and a comprehensive book review section. The China Quarterly is owned by the School of Oriental and African Studies and published by Cambridge University Press.[1] Its current editor-in-chief is Chris Bramall, who succeeded Julia Strauss in 2011.

History

The China Quarterly began as an offshoot of Soviet Survey, a journal published by the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF).[2] Walter Laqueur, the editor of Soviet Survey, asked sinologist Roderick MacFarquhar to edit the new journal in 1959, and the first issue was released in 1960.[2] Publication of the journal was eventually transferred from the CCF to the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.[2] It would later be revealed that the CCF was funded by the Central Intelligence Agency; MacFarquhar stated that he "never knew about this relationship and had certainly not been subjected to attempts to 'control' my editorship from Paris [the location of the CCF]."[2] David Wilson succeeded MacFarquhar as editor in 1968.[2]
