This is the first book providing an in-depth analysis of the publishing
industry in China. It is also the first book of its kind written for an
international audience. The author gives a comprehensive and objective
commentary on the current situation and trends of the Chinese publishing
industry in the WTO era. The integration process of the Chinese publishing
market with those of Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the entry of foreign investments
are also addressed in this book. Seventy years ago, world-renowned author Pearl
S. Buck presented the Chinese people to the western world by introducing Lin
Yutang´s My Country and My People. In the same way that Lin Yutang tried to
bridge the cultural gap between the East and West with his philosophies and
writings, Thomson Learning hopes to offer the western world a window into the
modern Chinese publishing industry through this book, Publishing in China.
