Allen [editor] – Born in Taiwan to a native Taiwanese family, Allen has made the U.S. his home since 1980. While Allen has been raised on a completely western education and was brought up in Taiwan to loathe the communists, Allen is nevertheless fascinated by and sympathetic to the changes going on in mainland China – changes that offer the first hope of real change for a wide swath of humanity formerly stuck in poverty. Allen has the heart of a Chinese, the education of a Westerner, and deep family ties in Taiwan – and hopes his perspectives will be among one of many bridges that will need to be built between the West and China in the 21st century.

DeWang [editor] – DeWang believes a better understood China is better for the world. China has many values which the world will benefit from. Much of the world has been lead by the West in the last two centuries. With the resurgence in China economically in the last three decades, China will increasingly help shape our collective future. DeWang has adopted the U.S. as his home since leaving Fujian province in 1984. While he often cite shortcomings in the U.S. or the West in general to help explain China’s progress, he also sees many great achievements made by the U.S. and the West to the great benefit of this world.
