China will launch a national reading campaign for 2021, according to an official circular. As this year marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China
(CPC), the campaign shall focus on that theme and promote the reading of
key publications on the history of the CPC, the country, reform and
opening up, and socialist development among the general public, says the
circular released by the general office of the Publicity Department of
the CPC Central Committee. The document asks authorities to go down to communities, ramp up the
supply of quality reading materials and update reading facilities in
public spaces. Efforts are also urged to improve access to reading services of key
groups including rural migrant workers and their children, as well as
people with disabilities. Local authorities are encouraged to explore their own ways to foster
signature reading promotion programs that bear local hallmarks. Digital
reading technologies are also encouraged. Enditem
