Regrettably we have had to cancel the 2008 China Tour. 
 
Letters of invitation from Charlesworth China addressed to Tour attendees have to be endorsed by the local Foreign Affairs Office in Beijing. Endorsement is suspended until 20 September 2008. Unfortunately this is too late for the 2008 Beijing International Book Fair, around which our Tour is arranged--the BIBF is due to take place between 1 and 4 September. 
 
We very much regret having to cancel the Tour but the situation is out of our hands.

We hope the 2009 Tour will go ahead in the usual way. Please contact Richard Charlesworth if you would like to receive details r_charlesworth@charlesworth.com
