"China is moving to become a publishing power in the world, which provides a good opportunity for the development of the publishing industry on both sides of the Straits," said Wu Shulin, executive vice-president of the Publishers Association of China, on September 20.
He made the remarks during the 15th Cross-Strait Book Fair at the Xiamen International Convention and Exhibition Center in Xiamen, Fujian province, which ended on Sunday.
The three-day book fair attracted 520 publishing organizations from both sides of the Taiwan Straits to participate. Three hundred were from the Chinese mainland and 220 from Taiwan. Twenty-six publishing houses from both sides signed cooperation agreements at the opening ceremony of the fair, with an intended investment of nearly 600 million Yuan (USD 84.6 million) in total.
Abut 700,000 books were featured during the fair, most of which are new, high-quality works and bestsellers published in the past two years.
