The current English-language edition of Contemporary China Review centers on the theme of "How China Recalibrates Itself at the Intersection of Institutions and Ethics," and is organized into sections such as "Chinese Scholars' View," "Current Affairs," and "Book Review." The first section approaches the topic from the perspective of political systems and the international order, revisiting the historical echoes of America's "Open Door" policy and Wilsonianism while engaging with issues of constitutionalism and the economy, party competition, and civil society, linking modern and contemporary history to today's governance dilemmas. "Current Affairs" blends documentary narrative with institutional analysis, focusing on the truth of June Fourth and transitional justice, the governance tactics of the pandemic, and the causes and consequences of the "White Paper" protests. It also features Bei Ming's memorial essay for Cheng Kai, highlighting the ethical choices and personal costs faced by journalists under political pressure. The "Book Review" section examines the intellectual trajectory of Xu Zhiyong's "citizens' faith" practice, and also reviews recent works such as The China Record and China's Game, offering a systematic critique of the continuities between the imperial tradition and the party-state system, the structural tensions between power and the market, and possible reform pathways. Entirely in English and aimed at an international readership, the issue combines rigorous historical research, careful argumentation, and engaging narrative, seeking to forge a communicable public language that bridges fact, thought, and moral judgment, and to serve as a cross-lingual reference and dialogue platform for academia, the media, and public policy debates.
