Publications attract overseas publishers
Chinese publications have attracted much attention from overseas publishers during the Beijing International Book Fair, with many copyright deals already being signed. The Beijing International Book Fair is now in its 24th year. More than 2,500 exhibitors from 89 countries and regions are taking part in the fair, with overseas exhibitors accounting for 58 percent. Around 40,000 books from more than 300 major Chinese publishers are on display. At the fair last year and the year before, the number of copyright trade agreements signed between Chinese and foreign companies exceeded 4,000 each year. At this year's fair, Chinese publishers are continuing their efforts to market their books both in paper and digital form.
