Yazhou Zhoukan
Yazhou Zhoukan (Chinese: 亞洲週刊; lit. 'Asia Weekly') is a Chinese-language international affairs newsweekly. It was launched in 1987 by Michael O'Neill as a sister magazine to Asiaweek. It is published by Yazhou Zhoukan Limited (a subsidiary of Media Chinese International Limited), and provides international political, economic and cultural news. In December 2011, its circulation reached 150,000.
1975–1987
Asiaweek was founded in 1975 by Michael O'Neill, a New Zealander, and T. J. S. George, an Indian, who had worked together at the Far Eastern Economic Review. O'Niell's experience in Asia confirms his belief that "the Asian century is coming".
In 1985, Time, Inc. (as it was then known) acquired 84% of Asiaweek, buying out Reader's Digest's 80% stake and 4% local interests. The remaining 16% was owned by Michael O'Neill.
The Chinese edition of Asiaweek, Yazhou Zhoukan, was launched in 1987 as a sister magazine to Asiaweek. O'Neill was a founding Editor-in-Chief of Yazhou Zhoukan, with Thomas Hon Wing Polin as its founding Managing Editor.
1987–1994
During the late 1980s, the People's Republic of China introduced the reform and opening-up policy; the negotiation between the British and Chinese governments over Hong Kong was drawing to a close; and the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia was coming out of discrimination and oppression. Under this context, Michael O'Neill founded the Chinese edition of Asiaweek, Yazhou Zhoukan, to attract readers from the Chinese community across Asia.
Yazhou Zhoukan was branded as "the first Chinese language international affairs newsweekly"; "the first Chinese newsweekly to report from around the globe"; and "the best medium to keep up to date with the global Chinese diaspora". It published its first issue in December 1987.
