Rana Mitter, director-designate of the University of Oxford China Centre

"The China Daily European Weekly has made a huge difference to people like me who want to keep up with current events in China. Its coverage is broad and although directed at those doing business with China, there is also plenty of cultural and arts content. I always look forward to reading it."

Frances Wood, head of the Chinese collection at the British Library and author of Did Marco Polo Go to China?

Kerry Brown, director of the China Studies Centre at Sydney University

"The European Weekly enables the outside world to discover China and empowers the Chinese to join the ever-growing global discourse on China. Obviously, this discussion really matters."

"Since its inception, the European edition of China's most influential newspaper has provided informative reporting and a unique Chinese perspective to its Western audience. This perspective is especially helpful for European entrepreneurs and businessmen, such as those of us in TUI China, who rely on accurate and up-to-date news in order to be successful in China."

Marcel Schneider, CEO of TUI China

"As a bridge linking Asia and Europe in the new era, the China Daily European Weekly is not only a window which helps the world understand Chinese culture, politics and economy, but also a perfect stage for all companies and enterprises in China to show their development in the emerging market. I hope the paper becomes even better."
