Letter from the Editor

As you have by now already noticed, the CBR has a new look. Many of the changes in this redesigned CBR take into account the helpful feedback we have received from our readers over the years, particularly in our 2004 readership survey. We encourage you to continue to let us know what you think by e-mailing us at publications@uschina.org.

This issue marks another change as well. After just over seven years as editor of the CBR, and a few years before that as a CBR junior staffer, I am moving on to other responsibilities at the US-China Business Council (USCBC), the CBR's publisher.

It has been a privilege to work on the magazine. I am not sure what I will miss most. I will certainly miss working closely with the many experts on China's business environment, economy, history, politics, and trade, who have contributed their insights to the CBR and made my job fascinating every day. I will also miss creating the magazine every two months—at times seemingly from thin air.

More than anything, though, I will miss working daily with my colleagues, the fantastic CBR editors, and our designer, Jon Howard. Beginning March 1, the CBR's bimonthly cycle will become the responsibility of Virginia A. Hulme, who has worked tirelessly as the magazine's associate editor for five years (and two years before that as assistant editor) and will set her intelligence and editorial strengths to this task with certain success. Backing her up will be Paula M. Miller, who has been indispensable as the CBR's assistant editor since 2002. Jesse Marth, the CBR's hard-working business manager, has professionalized the business side of the magazine and has been an important creative force since he started with us in 2004. Rounding out the team is Victorien Wu, who started with us last summer and has done a terrific job as our junior editor; a new editor, yet to be selected as the CBR goes to press; and our loyal US ad reps Pete Uhry and Ed Winslow of Uhry & Associates and their counterparts in China, Publicitas. Our printer, Dartmouth Printing Co., has been a great help over the years. Without such a smoothly running team, the CBR could not exist. I am confident that this team will be able to make the CBR even better in the months and years to come.

I will still work with some of these China business experts, and with my colleagues, on other projects for the USCBC. In any event, I owe them all my deepest thanks for accompanying me so gamely through the ups and downs that are the inevitable part of bringing the CBR to life.
