The Asian Wall Street Journal, which celebrates it 20th anniversary on Sunday, is looking for partners to expand its printing operations in the region.

Managing director William Adamopoulos said China, where circulation stood at just above 1,300, was an obvious target.

'In the next 20 years, we hope to be printing in every major market out here,' he said.

Mr Adamopoulos said the paper, owned by Dow Jones and Co, was looking at new printing sites across the region but he declined to name them.

In May, printing began in Kuala Lumpur at Papyrus Printing, a subsidiary of Star Publications, the Journal's fifth printing centre after Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo and Bangkok.

'We have been adding printing plants,' Mr Adamopoulos said. 'In this day and age of instant information, we find we have to get the paper to readers in the morning rather than the afternoon.
