Magazines: Publishers go to China

The Magazine Business Association of Taipei will organize a show to allow domestic magazine publishers to show their publications in Beijing and Shanghai in mid-October, an association spokesman said yesterday. On display at the week-long exhibitions will be some 500 magazines in various categories, including information and mass communications, social sciences and humanities, business and commerce, natural sciences, computer and information technologies, language learning, fashion, travel and entertainment. In recent years, many domestic publishers have sought to expand to China, a market with tremendous potential for Chinese-language publications.
