  1. The Twenty-First Century

    italic title The Twenty First Century is a Hong Kong intellectual journal, with a high standard of contributions both in the social sciences and the humanities, which played an important role in Chinese intellectual life from the early to the mid 1990s. After the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 , the intellectual scene within mainland China was enervated, both by the effects of political conditions on the possibilities for discourse and by a sizable intellectual exodus to the West. At first, The Twenty First Century was the only journal available to the thinkers of the new diaspora . It therefore became a very important site for debate for example, on conservatism and radicalism in 20th century Chinese thought, or on China s state capacity , though it was difficult to obtain copies in the mainland. Aside from its importance in the maintenance and the progress of Chinese intellectual discourse during this time, The Twenty First Century is also of historical importance as a document of the first stages of the internationalization of Chinese intellectual life during the 1990s. In the middle of the decade, it lost its influence to resurgent mainland journals. See also Dushu , one of the few other journals that was active and influential in the immediate post Tiananmen period, in Dushu s case because its content had been almost wholly apolitical during the late 1980s Source Zhang Yongle.
