Features: The China Review was founded, published, and distributed in Hong Kong for two years, leaving a deep impression and influence among scholars at home and abroad. It pioneered the advocacy of strict academic norms and the establishment of an academic evaluation system. Now, The China Review remains committed to its original purpose: constructing the Chinese academic tradition, establishing an academic criticism system, and demanding strict academic norms. The main content includes: First, exploring the issue of Chinese academic normalization by taking the knowledge production activity itself as the object of evaluation; Second, introducing cutting-edge achievements in the social sciences to anticipate responses and self-development from Chinese academia. The China Review is tentatively set up with the following columns: Thematic Book Reviews / Academic Book Reviews / Reflections and Critiques on the Knowledge Production Machine / Academic Comments / Chinese Works Introduction / Western Works Introduction / Prefaces and Postfaces / Recommended Reading Lists. The publication of this book is a necessary contribution to the in-depth development of the movement for Chinese academic normalization. It provides a high-level platform for book reviews that hold significant meaning for knowledge increment from a critical perspective, and offers a free academic field for reflections and critiques on the knowledge production machine, which is involved in the production and reproduction of knowledge.
