China's largest publisher and distributor of foreign language publications have been working for over half a century to introduce the country to the outside world.
Founded in October 1949, CIPG reaches its global audience, who has been increasing in numbers, through books, periodicals, audio-video products, and website services. The combined effect of these products presents readers with a remarkable volume of helpful information about China.
CIPG is made up of seven publishing houses: Foreign Languages Press, New World Press, Morning Glory Publishers, Sinolingual, China Pictorial Publishing House, Dolphin Books and New Star Publishers, five periodicals: Beijing Review, China Today, People's Pictorial, People's China, and El Popola Cinio. The giant production machine pumps out over 2,000 book titles, 21 printed periodicals and 25 online journals annually, in a total of 20 languages. These products eventually find their way into more than 100 countries and regions via the distribution network of CIPG's subsidiary -- China International Book Trading Corporation.
Fully updated with the advance of this electronic age, CIPG's online business is focused on www.china.org.cn, a website releasing news in nine languages, including Chinese (both in simplified and traditional characters), English, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Korean and Esperanto.
CIPG has several branch offices set up outside the Chinese Mainland in the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, Belgium, Egypt, Mexico and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
