International Law

One million words and a partridge in a pear tree

Rather more than just a blog, another year passes at China Briefing?

Well, as many of our readers head off about now back home for Christmas and New Year festivities ? safe journeys to you all ? we?ll have a quick round up of the numbers here at China Briefing and what we did.

Blog vs. News
As you may have noticed, we?ve quietly dropped the blog identity. We?ve felt that blogging about China law and business, while often fun, isn?t representative of what we do. We?re in the business of serious comment on China business, and to do that properly and with integrity you need to have resources, to be in-country and to have access to our own people on the ground. Which we do, with over 150 staff assisting us across China from nine Dezan Shira & Associates offices. So this section of China Briefing has been re-branded as news. Other people can comment about comments ? but it?s original content that counts, and that?s what we?re about. Hopefully you?ll see the distinction and appreciate the upgrade. The Blog is dead. Long live the News!

Numbers of China Briefing magazine printed in 2007
Did you know we produce a monthly magazine? We do, it has professional legal/tax content and a free subscription (well hey, it?s Christmas). You can access that here, and we?ll send the pdf to you free of charge each month. The print version is distributed around China, and this year we printed 261,700 copies. Online subscribers internationally to the pdf issue are over the 250,000 mark (more…)
