Philippe de Montebello, Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, called it "an invaluable source of information about art and the art world. It focuses on personalities as well as issues, but eschews gossip and stresses accuracy embracing an editorial policy that consistently reveals a high degree of seriousness and sense of responsibility."

Chinese companies target expansion and acquisitions: A SPECIAL SERIES OF FINANCIAL TIMES REPORTS, ANALYSIS AND INTERVIEWS

Until recently, the prospect of a Chinese company buying the personal computer division of IBM would have been remote.
