Publishers cater for worldwide demand

Readers in North America, Europe and other parts of the world will soon be able to find more books on China, says Wu Wei, vice-director-general of the State Council Information Office.

"A large number of these books would be from Chinese publishers or co-produced with Chinese partners," says Wu, who is also director of the China Book International Promotion and Planning Office.

In 2004, the State Council Information Office and the General Administration of Press and Publication launched the China Book International program to "make China known to different nations fully and truly".
