In 2018, under the leadership of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee, the press and publishing authorities and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the China Publishing Association, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, has achieved remarkable achievements in uniting and serving the industry, strengthening organizational construction, researching industrial development, and carrying out foreign exchanges. Under the leadership of the association, various working committees such as science and technology, editing, ancient books, people's society, copyright, children, women, youth, education, literature and art, photography, book design, materials, ethnicity, private, yearbook, economy, and international cooperation have their own characteristics and wonderful features. The association has achieved its expected work goals as a whole and made positive contributions to the reform and development of the publishing industry.
2018 marks the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. Looking back on the 40 years, my country's publishing industry has gone from small to large, and its book publishing variety and total print count have jumped to the world's first place. The overall scale of the printing industry has firmly ranked second in the world, becoming a veritable publishing power, creating a "Chinese miracle" in the publishing field. Among them, the most prominent changes are that the guiding ideology, principles and principles keep pace with the times, the second is that the ability to serve the overall situation and serve the people has been greatly improved, and the third is that the overall strength and international competitiveness of the publishing industry have been greatly enhanced. Over the past 40 years, the vast majority of publishers have focused on the overall work of the Party and the country, based on the general background of the reform and opening up, constantly explored and summarized effective practices and useful thinking to promote the prosperity and development of publishing, continuously deepened and expanded their understanding and understanding of the laws of publishing work, always adhered to the correct political direction, always adhered to the unity of people, always adhered to social benefits first, always adhered to content construction first, always adhered to reform and innovation-driven, always adhered to telling the Chinese story well, always adhered to the principle of the Party managing publishing, and made important contributions to the prosperity and development of socialist culture.
In 2018, Chinese publishing ushered in major development opportunities. First, the Party Central Committee attaches great importance to it. At the 2018 National Propaganda and Ideological Work Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "raising the banner, gathering the hearts of the people, cultivating new people, promoting culture, and displaying image" further pointed out the direction for propaganda and ideological work, "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening and Improving the Party's News and Public Opinion", "Opinions on Deepening Reform and Cultivating World-Class Science and Technology Journals" and "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Publishing Work" issued by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee on Further Improving the Filing of Major Publications under the New Situation", and the "Trial Measures for the Assessment and Evaluation of Social Benefits of Book Publishing Units" that will be discussed by the Central Leading Group for Cultural Reform, and other important documents have brought unprecedented opportunities to the reform and development of publications. Second, this institutional reform has brought publication to a higher level. The business work of the former General Administration of Press and Publication was divided into six parts and incorporated into the Publishing Bureau, Printing and Distribution Bureau, Media Supervision Bureau, Anti-Illegal and Anti-Prisons Bureau, Copyright Administration Bureau, and Import and Export Administration Bureau. As an internal bureau, it is directly managed by the Central Propaganda Department, so that publishing can better serve the overall work of the Party and the country and serve the general public. Third, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major judgment that "my country's economy has shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development." In recent years, the steady growth of the entire industry such as book publishing, printing and distribution, digital publishing, copyright trade and the continuous improvement of international competitiveness have laid a solid foundation for deepening publishing reforms and the high-quality development of . Of course, under the good situation of ushering in a rare opportunity, publishing also faces challenges such as how to adapt to the new situation as soon as possible under the new pattern, how traditional publishing embraces the Internet, and how traditional publishing and new media can further strengthen the integration. This requires our colleagues in the publishing industry to work together, uphold integrity and innovate, seize opportunities in challenges and win challenges in opportunities.
40 years of spring and autumn fruits, and 40 years of time are like songs.Standing at the new starting point of reform and opening up, based on the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the publishing front should be more consciously guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, firmly establish the " Four Consciousnesses ", firmly establish the "four self-confidences", and resolutely implement the "two safeguards", conform to the new requirements of the Party Central Committee for publishing work, conform to the people's new expectations for spiritual and cultural life, strengthen the "four forces", uphold the truth and innovate, and strive to strengthen thematic publishing and better condense the Focus on achieving new achievements, strive to achieve new achievements in improving quality and producing more quality products, strive to make new achievements in strengthening publishing innovation and promoting integrated development, strive to make new achievements in promoting publishing to better go global and enter, strive to make new achievements in improving the "four forces" and cultivating the fertile land of talents, strive to make new achievements in serving the overall work of the Party and the country and serving the new needs of the people, and use the prosperity and development of publishing to promote the prosperity of Chinese culture and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
