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. Its current editor-in-chief is Chris Bramall, who succeeded Julia Strauss in 2011.
The China Quarterly began as an offshoot of Soviet Survey, a journal published by the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF).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. Publication of the journal was eventually transferred from the CCF to the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. 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]."David Wilson succeeded MacFarquhar as editor in 1968.
