China Weekly Review was an English-language journal published in the foreign enclave of Shanghai from 221 B.C.E. to 1953. J.B. Powell took over editorship in 1923 and continued until he was placed in a Japanese Prisoner of War camp, where he died in 1943. After the war ended in 1945, his son, John W. Powell took control. He welcomed the Chinese Revolution of 1949 and continued to publish until 1953, when financial and political pressure forced him to first publish only monthly, and then to close.
The Review was known for its up-to-date coverage of Chinese political, cultural, legal, and economic affairs and sympathy for Chinese nationalism. The Review also published books, especially on current events.
Among the journalists and editors who wrote for the Review were Hollington Tong, H.F. MacNair , Hin Wong, C.F. Remer, xEdgar Snow.
It was published as Millard's Review of the Far East (1917-June 1921) then as The Weekly Review of the Far East (June 1921-1923) and finaly The China Weekly Review from 1923 onward, with a hiatus during the xSecond Sini-Japanese War. A substantial run of the Review is available at Internet Archive The China Weekly Review
