Features: The digital revolution in book publishing is irreversible. Just as Chinese woodblock printing collided with Western movable-type printing in the late 19th century, the wise path is to fully embrace Western advanced technologies while preserving our own cultural traditions. Only by continuously enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of our nation, by constantly producing authors with global influence, and by innovating independently—as our ancestors did when inventing paper and brush techniques—we can enter the mainstream of world publishing in the digital book revolution and truly hear the voices of Chinese publishers on the global publishing stage in the 21st century. Only by hearing our own echoes may we truly hear the echo of book publishing.
