The new edition of The China Analyst (May 2009) has been released, and is now available for download by clicking the link below.

As one of the main themes, this edition tracks China's progress in charting a way out of the financial crisis, paying particular attention to the implementation and impact of China's ongoing stimulus package and the outlook for growth in the course of 2009. Yet we also analyze China's stimulus package more closely in terms of its environmental policy implications, and the third leading article provides an assessment of new issues and salient trends in China's growing relationship with the African continent.

The Macroeconomic Monitor section provides an assessment of the performance of China's economy in the first quarter of 2009 and the prospects for the rest of the year, followed by all the usual range of sections filled with data and analysis on China's financial markets, trade, investment and industry. The China Sourcing Strategy section in this edition outlines the latest info and analysis on the successful formulation of China sourcing strategies in the current environment. This edition also features an expanded series of Regional Focus sections, constituting 14 pages filled with data, research and analysis on the strategic space between China and Africa, Australia, Latin America and Russia.

I trust our readers will enjoy this edition, and as always we welcome all feedback.
