Features: The Review of Chinese Culture Industry (hereinafter referred to as The Review) was born with the development of China's cultural industry and the deepening of academic research. Since its inception in 2003, The Review has already gone through three full years. From Volume 1 to Volume 3, The Review has faithfully recorded the arduous efforts and in-depth exploration of academia over these three years, as well as the pioneering work and achievements made by Chinese cultural industry scholars in constructing an innovative theoretical system for the cultural industry. The research of mainland scholars has attracted the attention of Hong Kong peers and has drawn the attention of the international academic community. Since The Review published the research achievements of Hong Kong scholars in Volumes 2 and 3 consecutively, it has received manuscripts submitted via email from scholars at the University of Manchester in the UK and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, namely Professor Justin O'Connorlor from the University of Manchester and Professor Jingwang from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This will be a feature of Volume 4 of The Review. Engaging in academic exchanges with international peers allows the research achievements of Chinese scholars to enter the of the international academic community, which is one of the internationalization goals pursued by The Review. The cultures of Taiwan and mainland China share the same roots. Promoting the development and interaction of the cultural industries on both sides of the strait is a common aspiration of scholars and the industry on both sides. In October 2005, the "First Cross-Strait Cultural Industry Development Forum" was held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The Review has dedicated a special issue in Volume 4 to publish some representative papers from the forum. The Review hopes that such interactions can receive broader responses to jointly advance the continuous progress of Chinese academia in the field of cultural industry research. The in-depth development of China's cultural industry is one of the greatest reform practices of contemporary China. The continuous deepening of cultural system reform and the era demand to liberate cultural productivity have raised many major theoretical and practical issues that require Chinese theorists and practitioners to study and explore. The Review will, as always, move forward with its readers, recording all research achievements that emerge in this great journey.
