Comment on Academic publishing – international editing service in China as “export subsidy”? by Shawn Maloney

Shawn Maloney — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:20:20 +0000

While some English editing services are expensive, many companies, including our company (Journal Prep), offer significant discounts on service costs when working with large groups (journals, academic societies, universities, etc). This is one way for Chinese authors to benefit from editing services without paying top dollar for the services.

Comment on Han Han “lead editor” of coming magazine (China) by Bruce Humes

I’ve long thought Han Han should get his act together and speak out frankly in a free environment, i.e., the English-speaking world wide web. Why waste his time self-censoring so that he can publish, or be published, in “China”?

Even though his online essays would have to be translated back into Chinese for his fans in China to enjoy them, that would certainly happen very quickly, and of course, for free to boot.

So for those who haven’t heard, the New York Times has signed Han Han to write several opinion pieces over the next year. For details on this, as well as a recent controversial opinion piece by Yu Hua that ran in the NYT, see:

[...] The 18th Beijing International Book Fair lowered its curtain on September 4th.

The increase in copyright export reflects that Chinese books and Chinese culture have become a new focus of the international publishing industry, and the import/export ratio of 1:1.3 puts China well on the road to the goal of the 12th Five-year plan [see post "China’s copyright trade improving"].
