> Dear Readers,

> Thank you for your support of the Journal of Chinese Overseas.
>
> Early this year, our indefatigable editor, Professor Tan Chee-Beng,
> explained to me that he would not be able to continue to serve as
> editor after December 2011. He then kindly offered to help the new
> editor with the May 2012 issue to ensure a smooth transition. Tan
> Chee-Beng is retiring from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and
> plans to concentrate on completing several research projects that have
> been awaiting his full attention for some time. He served as co-editor
> of the JCO with Professor Ng Chin Keong for the first two years and
> then as the sole editor from the end of 2006 till the end of 2011. He
> and his fine team of Dr James K. Chin and Dr Kwan Siu Hing have done a
> remarkable job to make JCO the major journal in our field. On your
> behalf and on behalf of the Editorial Board and the Board of
> International Advisors, I wish to place on record our gratitude to
> Chee-Beng for his able leadership. I know you will all join me in
> wishing him great success with his personal scholarly writings.
>
> I also wish to take this opportunity to announce that Professor Liu
> Hong, Chair, School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Nanyang
> Technological University (NTU), has agreed to take over the
> editorship. He greatly appreciates Chee-Bengs contributions and is
> also very grateful to both James and Siu Hing for agreeing to remain
> with the team and continue their help with future issues of the JCO. I
> also welcome Dr Shirley Sun Hsiao-Li of NTU who has agreed to join Siu
> Hing as Assistant Editor.
>
> Professor Liu is the author of several studies of the diasporic
> phenomena and is well known to most of you as the editor of the
> four-volume The Chinese Overseas in the Routledge Library of Modern
> China published in 2006. After a stint at the National University of
> Singapore, he was appointed to the Chair in Chinese Studies at the
> University of Manchester. He recently returned to Singapore and, in
> his new capacity, will be working closely with the Chinese Heritage
> Centre, now to be an integrated part of the University. The Centres
> Director is the President of the International Society for the Study
> of the Chinese Overseas (ISSCO), Prof. Leo Suryadinata. With the
> support of ISSCO, the Chinese Heritage Centre at NTU will continue to
> be the home for the Journal.
>
> I now invite you to support our new editor and also help him to
> solicit good scholarly papers for the JCO and, wherever possible, help
> to review the manuscripts it receives. In particular, I wish to ask
> for the necessary and invaluable assistance to the Editor and his team
> from the members of the Editorial Board and Board of International
> Advisors.
