China promotes reading, strengthens culture nationwide

Today, on World Book Day, China is celebrating with numerous reading events, reflecting the ongoing effort to promote reading and cultural strength. These events, including the "China of Books" initiative, have been supported by government reports for over a decade, expanding access to books through libraries, digital platforms, and community reading spaces. The government aims to establish a comprehensive reading promotion service system this year. These efforts include activities like the Classic Chinese Reading Conference, fostering a culture of reading and enriching people's lives, contributing to the nation's cultural development and the continuation of Chinese heritage.
