BEIJING - A leading Chinese think tank issued its first monthly magazine on Saturday, aiming to create a platform for developing nations to have their ideas about globalization and other international affairs reach a global audience.

The issue, named "Globalization", was published by the China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE), a think tank chaired by former vice premier Zeng Peiyan.

"That is what the magazine aims to facilitate", he said.

The first issue has 50,000 copies, and will be sold in the Chinese mainland and 18 nations.
