\"\"<\/p>\n

Guests attending the forum include Bi Haibo, Minister Counsellor, Embassy of China in the UK; Li Yongqiang, Chair of Press Council, Chairman of the Board, China Renmin University Press; Yu Bo, Vice Editor-in-Chief, China Renmin University Press; Jeremy North, Managing Director, Taylor & Francis Books; Seth Cayley, Vice President, Global Academic Product, Gale, part of Cengage Group; Gu Qing, Secretary of the Party Committee, Commercial Press; Lei Jianhua, Executive Assistant of China National Publications Import and Export (Group) Co., Ltd. (CNPIEC) and Director of BIBF Office; Gao Zilong, Editor-in-Chief, Information Center for Social Sciences of Renmin University of China;\u00a0Professor Dr. Martin Albrow, Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences (UK); Professor\u00a0Zhao Yulan, School of Marxism Studies, Renmin University of China, as well as representatives from other publishers\u00a0home and abroad.<\/p>\n

The forum engages in in-depth communication and exchanges on topics such as the strategic significance of constructing China’s own\u00a0knowledge system and its international dissemination, the influence and contribution of Chinese academics to the global knowledge system, Chinese content sought by European and American academic publishers, and effective ways of disseminating China\u2019s academic results around the globe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On behalf of the Embassy of China in the UK, Minister Counsellor Bi Haibo congratulates the hosting of the forum. He points out that civilizations are more colorful thanks\u00a0to exchanges and richer thanks\u00a0to mutual learning. Through Sino-foreign academic exchanges and cooperation, Chinese academics is\u00a0able to learn from all the excellent civilizational\u00a0achievements created by human beings more proactively, and at the same time, in the process of solving China’s problems\u00a0on the basis of China’s reality, Chinese academics has\u00a0stronger abilities to provide ideas and solutions for solving global problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jeremy North notes that the number of academic publications and the global rankings\u00a0of Chinese universities are increasing year by year, and that China is paying more attention to the “lasting value of academics” rather than simply pursuing statistical indicators. As a publisher, he says he is\u00a0pleased to see scholars working together across institutions and national boundaries, and is\u00a0willing to provide better services to the international students. He hopes that Taylor & Francis Publishing Group and China Renmin University Press will do more in partnership and cooperation, and disseminate more of China\u2019s\u00a0academic achievements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vice President Seth Cayley points out that with China’s rapid economic growth, international researchers and students are\u00a0becoming\u00a0increasingly interested in China, and Gale launched its Asia Publishing Program in 2008. Gale’s cooperation with China Renmin University Press dates back to 2009 when a 5-volume pictorial series on the history of Qing dynasty was published. Since then the two publishers\u00a0have co-published a total of 40 titles in five series, including the Li & Fung Management Series, Chinese Scholars on the Chinese Economy, and Studies on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This collaboration continues to thrive, with the signing of a new contract to publish a series of 12 titles on the concept of Chinese modernization in 2023.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Academician Martin Albright expresses\u00a0his honor attending\u00a0the Forum and delivers\u00a0a keynote speech. He believes\u00a0that one result of global sharing is of course Chinese scholars too can transmit their own understanding of China to the rest of the world. The concept of consultative democracy in China, as articulated by General Secretary Xi Jinping, clarifies the true purpose of democracy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Professor Zhao Yulan, on the other hand, elaborates\u00a0on China\u2019s academic\u00a0“going global” and “rights acquisition” from a Marxist perspective. She believes\u00a0that although the international dissemination of Chinese academic\u00a0results\u00a0has made great achievements, there is still a long way to go. She firmly believes\u00a0that China\u2019s\u00a0academic achievements with Chinese characteristics will definitely add unique colors and fragrance to the garden of international academia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In his concluding remarks, Chairman Li Yongqiang points\u00a0out that to let the world understand China\u2019s achievements in social science, to provide reference and experience for the modernization and development of other countries, to respond positively to the major realities that are of universal concern to mankind, and to contribute to the world the knowledge and wisdom of China’s solutions,\u00a0such are the important missions to be carried out by China\u2019s publishing industry in their overseas publication. China Renmin\u00a0University Press\u00a0focuses on the publication of outstanding academic and theoretical achievements, and is the major publishing centre of Chinese humanities and social sciences, as well as the backbone of Sino-foreign academic exchanges. In Sino-foreign academic exchanges, China Renmin University\u00a0Press adheres to the publishing ideal\u00a0of “focusing\u00a0on China, focusing\u00a0on the contemporary, focusing\u00a0on the academics”, and up to now, it has licensed more than 3,000 titles which have been translated into more than 40 languages\u00a0and published\u00a0in\u00a0more than 50 countries and regions.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the event was the release of A\u00a0Study\u00a0of\u00a0Chinese\u00a0Characters\u00a0and\u00a0Excavated\u00a0Documents\u00a0in\u00a0China<\/em>\u00a0by Wang Guiyuan and\u00a0Transcendence\u00a0and\u00a0Return:\u00a0Study\u00a0of\u00a0Theory\u00a0Justice\u00a0of\u00a0Marxism:\u00a0Debate,\u00a0Dialogue\u00a0and\u00a0Defense<\/em>\u00a0by Zhang Xiaomeng.
