Shijie zhishi (simplified Chinese: 世界知识; traditional Chinese: 世界知識; pinyin: Shìjiè zhīshì; lit. 'World Affairs') is a bimonthly semi-official foreign affairs magazine which has been in circulation since 1934 based in Beijing, China. From time to time the magazine was used as a propaganda publication by the state particularly during the Cold War. It is one of the long-running periodicals in China.

History and profile

Shijie zhishi was established in 1934.[1] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of the magazine.[2][3] One of its early editors-in-chief was Jin Zhonghua.[4] From 2014 Chinese novelist Lulu Wang contributed to the magazine[5] which is published on a bimonthly basis and has 100,000 copies per each issue.[1]

Content

During the editorship of Jin Zhonghua Shijie zhishi published several cartoons by Jack Chen.[4] The magazine primarily features articles concerning foreign relations of China and provides discussions about the foreign policies of China to be implemented.[3][6]

It also features in-depth analyses about the political tendencies and political leaders in other countries. Shijie zhishi published lengthy comments about the Soviet leaders, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Nikita Khrushchev.[7] It also published an analysis on the neocons in the United States based on interviews with five Chinese political scientists which appeared in 2003.[8]
