Asiaweek, the English edition, was a news magazine focusing on Asia, published weekly by Asiaweek Limited, a subsidiary of Time Inc. Based in Hong Kong, it was established in 1975, and ceased publication with its December 7, 2001 issue due to a "downturn in the advertising market," according to Norman Pearlstine, editor in chief of Time Inc. The magazine had a circulation of 120,000 copies when it closed.

It was on such a simple and basic premise as this that Asiaweek was founded in 1975 and on which it based much of the claim it made in its mission statement.
Little Asiaweek must have seemed a progressively smaller cog in the giant empire, and one that hardly could be called a serious profit centre.
It would be the exact opposite of the Asiaweek that just died: heavy on commentary, politics and, of course, Asian-owned.
According to Asiaweek's Richard Hornik, the "sea change" in Asia has shaped the selection process for this year's ranking of 50 personalities "we believe are changing not just the face of Asia but its mind and soul".
Asiaweek note that "opponents paint Hadi 53, as a dangerous zealot determined, they say, to hide women behind veils and to ban alcohol, karaoke, gambling and everything else that smacks of decadent fun".
Asiaweek view them as the "thorn in the side of of the establishment" in a Malaysia where "the truth hurts, the mainstream media rarely publish articles critical of the powers that be".
