Books have formula for success

All three books by former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji enjoyed success in China from the moment they hit the market.

Zhu Rongji Meets the Press (2009), Zhu Rongji on the Record (2011) and the latest Zhu Rongji in Shanghai (2013) were all published in Chinese by People's Publishing House.

The first two books have English versions that were published by Oxford in 2011, and by Foreign Languages Press under the China International Publishing Group and the Brookings Institution Press in 2013. For the latest English release, the two presses organized a grand launch in New York.
