Starting on June 7, 2004, a brand-new on-line Kanwa Defence Review (English Edition) will be available to our valued readers. Kanwa Defence Review will be a comprehensive on-line magazine on East Asia security, defence, diplomacy and weapons technology development.

Compared with Kanwa Intelligence Rreview currently published in both English and Chinese, the new Kanwa Defence Review on-line magazine has the following characteristics. First, Kanwa Defence Review is intended for a much broader readership. Individuals, groups or organizations interested in the relevant topics can all subscribe to Kanwa Defence Review. Second, it covers a much wider range of issues on diplomatic policies, defence strategies, arms trade and weapons technology development in China, Taiwan, India, South East Asian countries, Russia, Japan, North Korea, Japan and European Union. Kanwa Defence Review will give special coverage to comparing weapons development in these countries and present to the readers a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the relevant topical issues in plain and understandable language. As Kanwa always did, Kanwa Defence Review will continue to release more exclusive photos of interest on a regular basis.

As it is always the guiding principle of Kanwa, Kanwa Defence Review is committed to providing the readers with globally exclusive news, reports and photos on East Asia regional issues. Politically, the Review will abide by the principle of neutrality, parity and fairness in news coverage and analysis. With sincere respect for the laws and religious traditions of respective countries, Kanwa Defence Review will basically not involve in political news report. Kanwa always takes credibility as a top priority.

Kanwa now has special correspondents in New Delhi, Islamabad, Moscow, and Kuala Lumpur. With the content of coverage becoming more internationalized, the English printed version Kanwa Intelligence Review is now available free of charge at major international defense and arms exhibitions. Kanwa Intelligence Review's regular subscribers include the foreign and defense ministries of dozens of countries, and major military industrial groups of Europe and America also regularly subscribe to Kanwa's Asian arms market weekly analysis, topical special reports, TV documentaries and photo analysis on Asian weapons development. Kanwa's major editing operation is in Toronto and Hong Kong. Starting in 2004, Kanwa will reinforce front-line reports on global arms exhibitions, regional military exercises and thematic military and foreign policy seminars. Kanwa will also conduct a series of inclusive interviews with the defense officials and foreign policy decision-makers in different countries in the region. In addition, Kanwa Defence Review will release news report and in-depth analysis each week on a regular basis.

Kawan Defence Review welcomes exclusive contributions around the world. All contributors will be reimbursed as soon as the contributions are used.
