【摘要】The Chinese economy has been growing rapidly for more than two decades and is forcefully changing the global economic pattern.It seems that the world was ill-prepared for such dramatic changes in China.This has made it even more necessary for China to understand itself and to deepen its knowledge of the rest of the world.In turn,the world also needs to better comprehend China's background and current situation.Thus,it has become an international trend to study China and to explore the global meaning of the China phenomenon.However,despite the fact that learning Chinese as a foreign language is in vogue throughout the world,few foreigners can read Chinese articles without difficulty.China Economist,therefore,comes in handy for our foreign readers as an English periodical that focuses on economics and business management as well as on other fields of social sciences in China.
