The China Leadership Monitor, a quarterly publication from the Hoover Institution edited by Alice Miller, my graduate school advisor, is one of my favorite academic publications on contemporary China. The Winter 2010 issue is out and I highly recommend it, especially the following articles:

Alan Romberg on Taiwan in US-China Relations “2010: The Winter of PRC Discontent”

Alice Miller “The Preparation of Li Keqiang”

Cheng Li “China’s Midterm Jockeying: Gearing Up for 2012. Part 1: Provincial Chiefs”
