Hot! New! Sizzling!
Article Abstract:
The Chinese publishing industry has over recent years focused increasingly on books and magazines which have instant appeal for the general public. The industry has been opened up to market forces, and has moved a long way away from the days when all publications were strictly controlled by the state. However, the government is now taking action to restore a certain measure of control, cracking down on 'illegal' publications and criticising those which contain too much sex or violence.
