| Abstract: | This paper discusses the structure of the publishing industry in the People's Republic of China (with brief comments on Taiwan
and Hong Kong). It analyses the implications of state control, of recent liberalisation, and of increasing contact with western
publishers. The propagandist function of publishing in the Communist period and the supervisory role of the Press and Publication
Administration are examined. Particular attention is given to the recent developments of copyright legislation and mechanisms
of education and enforcement. As China becomes more market-orientated, changing patterns of publishing, problems in distribution,
and innovations in retailing are noticed. |
