My China Briefing publication celebrates its tenth birthday this month – which makes it I think one of the longest established business publications in China. Printing some 50,000 copies monthly, and with close to 200,000 online subscribers around the world, it is also available in six languages and has a very well read Daily News service too. Not bad for something I began back in July 1999 with an initial print run of 750 off my photocopier! The Beijing tenth anniversary party took place at the Capital Club, with over 250 people showing up. Free wines, food, and a raft of great lucky draw prizes – including flights from China to India, hotel stays, fine wines and spa treatments ensured everyone left around midnight very happy. Many thanks to our sponsors and to everyone who came. Our Shanghai event is on Wednesday.
