Who are we?Justifiably ranking among China's most time-honored English language magazine brands, that's has enjoyed a hard-core following among China's foreign residents since its genesis in the early 1990s. The various magazines that operate under the that's banner have been serving China's expat community, as well as its tourist population, a high quality product that is diverse and engaging for over two decades. Over the years that's has witnessed great change in China, and it has had front-row seats to a fascinating period in the nation's history. Over the space of a few short decades, Chi

Responding to the great demand of Chinese officials at all levels, the People's Republic of China Atlas of Administrative Divisions clarifies thousands of political-administrative boundaries (provincial, prefectural, county and township), and standardizes tens of thousands of geographic names. It represents a major advance in the contemporary mapping of China. Previous atlases show up to 80 percent of internal borders in a schematic, rough way because of border controversies. The detail in this atlas is stunning and is based on the culmination of years of intensive fieldwork. All boundaries depicted are generated from actual field surveys conducted from 1995 to 2002. There are hundreds of detailed maps of provinces, counties, and cities. All are based on a clearly-identified set of authoritative source materials, including (for the first time ever) China's new national digital GIS databases at 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000 scales. Measuring 30 x 42 cm, this atlas includes hundreds of maps of China's 34 provincial (sheng) units, 333 prefectures (shi/di), 2,862 counties (xian) and about 40,000 townships (xiang), clearly showing their boundaries, geographic names, and related information. The provincial, prefectural, and county boundaries are current as of June 2005; the township boundaries are current as of December 2004

China scholarship in Taiwan, in social sciences as well as humanities disciplines, is constituted by the choices of scholars over encountered and constantly reinterpreted imaginations of how China's names, identities and images are contextualised. Due to its colonial history, its civil war and Cold War legacies, and internal cleavages, China scholarship in Taiwan is characterised by strategic shifting among the Japanese, American and Chinese approaches to China, as well as their combination and recombination. The mechanism of choice, including travels that orient, reorient and disorient existing views on China, produces conjunctive scholarship. The rich repertoire of views on China, together with the politics of identity, challenge the objectivist stance of the social sciences to the extent that no view on China could be exempted from political implications and politicised social scrutiny. Concerns over exigent propriety in a social setting are internal to knowledge production. Therefore, understanding the process with which the historically derived approaches inform the China scholarship in Taiwan through the mechanism of encountering reveals both the uncertain nature of knowledge, in general, and the uncertain meaning associated with China worldwide, in particular.
