(MMWR), the Weekly acts as an authoritative resource for China's public health research and as a bulletin for all major public health emergencies within China. The staff of the Weekly have also worked cooperatively with staff from the US CDC and the US Embassy in China to overcome challenges faced by a new publication, and we look forward to continuing and strengthening this relationship to improve the quality of communication and publication in a shared pursuit of a healthier world.

To promote international cooperative efforts, more than 10 notable global health leaders and researchers have also published with the Weekly including Dr. Frieden, former Director of US CDC, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Andrea Ammon, Director of European CDC, Dr. Johan Carlson, Director of the Public Health Agency of Sweden, and Dr. Takaji Wakita, Director-General of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of Japan. In addition, the Weekly created the "Insights" column to interview, edit, and publish innovative research to match the capabilities of other first-class journals in being able to report news (10).

However, as a new academic journal, the Weekly still faces many challenges including how to further develop the academic influence of the editor-in-chief and the editorial board, further increase the attention and support of the host organization, and further recruit professional editors with high scientific literacy. These challenges are the keys for rapid future development and have fortunately emerged alongside a national priority to accelerate the construction of first-class academic journals and first-class academic platforms. The Weekly strives to uphold the highest standards, be the voice of China's public health authority, and join the ranks of world-class journals as soon as possible.

On the first anniversary of the Weekly, the editorial board and the editorial department would like to express their sincere gratitude for the guidance of the expert committees, the China CDC, the directly affiliated agencies, and the cooperating universities and research institutions. To the authors, reviewers, and readers of the Weekly, thank you for your support! doi: 10.46234/ccdcw2020.255 # Corresponding author: George F.
