Features: China Cultural Industries Review (hereinafter referred to as Review) was born with the development of China's cultural industries and the deepening of academic research. Since its inception in 2003, Review has already gone through three full years. From the first to the third volume, 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 industries scholars in constructing a theoretical innovation system for China's cultural industries. The research of mainland scholars has attracted the attention of Hong Kong peers and has also drawn the attention of the international academic community. After Review published the research achievements of Hong Kong scholars in its second and third volumes, submissions were received via email from scholars in the United Kingdom and the United States, namely Professor Justin O’Connorlor from the University of Manchester in the UK and Professor Jingwang from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US. This will be a feature of the fourth volume of 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 Review. The cultures of Taiwan and mainland China share the same roots. Promoting the development and interaction of cultural industries across the Taiwan Strait is a common aspiration of scholars and industries on both sides. In October 2005, the "First Cross-Strait Cultural Industries Development Forum" was held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The special issue in the fourth volume of Review features some representative papers from the forum. Review hopes that such interactions can receive broader responses to jointly advance the continuous progress of Chinese academia in the field of cultural industries research. The in-depth development of China's cultural industries 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. Review will, as always, move forward with its readers, recording all research achievements that emerge in this great journey.
