This issue of Systemic Practice and Action Research focuses on systemic thinking in China. It results from considerable efforts invested in the project by Gerald Midgley and Jennifer Wilby. I am very grateful to Gerald and Jennifer, who have made available to our readership important research issues that would otherwise remain published only in the Chinese language. Inevitably a huge amount of editorial work is required when assisting people not fluent in the English language so that their papers are raised to a standard suitable for publication in a journal published in English. In addition, Gerald and Jennifer have put together a series of papers that make up an interesting whole that tells an important story. Thanks are extended to Gerald and Jennifer for this contribution.
