The article notes: "... the case for a single periodical devoted entirely to reviewing monographs on China ancient, modern and contemporary—even if confined as it is at present to English-language monographs, with a few in Chinese thrown in for good measure—will doubtless appeal to many librarians and individual researchers in Chinese studies. Given the reluctance south of the Canadian border to read anything in French, and the extremely rapid publication schedule indicated by the publication dates of some of the works reviewed, this appeal will probably rival or even eclipse that of the existing Revue Bibliographique de Sinologie, though there is no indication that the invaluable abstracts of articles included in that excellent publication are to be included in the new journal. We are, however, promised a flow of 'features', meaning the more extended review articles of the type which preface this first issue: ... One would have liked to have seen some of the longer pieces buried also in the body of the reviews signalled in some way in the table of contents, too."
The article notes: "Produced by the University of Hawaii centre for Chinese studies, this new journal aims to review books relating to all aspects of sinology. The editors intend to cover books in many disciplines, from art to economics, from linguistics to Chinese medicine. But their intention has limitations, for, so far, the journal has concentrated largely on books in English. It is of course wise to avoid the mass of books in Chinese or Japanese, which are covered in other specialised journals. But the range covered is inevitably influenced by this constraint. ... For British scholars and all university libraries with even the slightest interests in any of the fields touched upon by Chinese studies, this is an indispensable reference tool."
The book provides one sentence of coverage about the subject. The book notes: "China Review International (University of Hawaii Press). This quarterly journal publishes English-language reviews of recently published books and monographs from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and elsewhere to help scholars keep abreast of cutting-edge research in Chinese Studies."
