American readers have shown growing interests in books from China and about China, said publishers attending the BookExpo America (BEA) 2015 last Friday.

The total amount of copyrights sold by Chinese publishers in the BEA 2015 reached 1,328, showed official data.

"Out of the 1,500 titles we inked at the expo, about 250 are about china," Steve Jadick, sales and rights manager of the Tuttle Publishing Company, a U.S. publisher and seller of books rooted in Asian cultures, told Xinhua.

"China has become such a great power in the world that everybody is interested in what it's going to say next," Jadick added..

Publishers said China's economy and technology developments have emerged as major topics attracting American readers these years.
