Chinese Stories project

Beijing Media Times Publishing joins 17 publishers to present China-themed books to foreign publishers in a project called Chinese Stories. Zhu Wenping, head of the publishing group, says the goals are to elevate the image of publishers from Beijing and to tell the world about a civilized and open country that is making constant progress.

The project covers political, social and cultural titles, including The Xi Jinping Era, The Wealth of China, and books by essayist Yu Qiuyu and novelist Jia Pingwa. The overall packaging and promoting of the books will give them a boost in multilingual markets.
