Keywords to Understand China -- A pocket book opens up a giant country

Book series -- Keywords to Understand China is a selection of the "China Keywords" entries included in a national-level multilingual platform.

Co-presented by China International Publishing Group and the China Academy of Translation, the series offers an expert interpretation of the key governance philosophies of China's current CPC central leadership headed by Xi Jinping, and aims to serve an international audience as a window into China's political thinking, policies, and path of development.

It provides entries in Arabic, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, in addition to Chinese explanations.

This is the first book published by the authority to explain China's policies, development path and mode in multilingual entries, and could be a valuable handbook for anyone who is eager to better understand the country.
