Xinhua-backed magazine plans specials to mark 30th anniversary of reform

BEIJING, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- China Comment Magazine, a fortnightly that is sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, will publish a series of specials about the 30th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up.

The specials will cover the most important changes and events that have taken place in China's political, economic and social areas since the country started its economic reforms in 1978, the Chinese-language magazine said in a statement here on Tuesday.

It didn't give a schedule for the issues.

The General Administration of Press and Publication has approved the publication, the statement said, and readers are welcome to suggest topics.

"China's reform and opening-up policies adopted three decades ago have given the country a facelift and affected every Chinese, and this is worth a grand remembrance," the statement said.
