Research on Book Publishing on Chinese Issues in Pakistan (2013-2023)

Since the 1950s, China and Pakistan began to cooperate in the field of trade. After that, China-Pakistan relations have been warming up and gradually expanded from the economic field to the political and cultural fields. China and Pakistan have reached consensus on many major issues such as the boundary and international situation, and the friendly cooperation between the two governments and peoples has been continuously strengthened. In the 21st century, the cooperative relations between China and Pakistan have entered a new era, with increasing political mutual trust and substantial development of bilateral economic and trade cooperation. In May 2013, in order to further promote the development of the Belt and Road Initiative and strengthen the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership between China and Pakistan, China officially proposed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor cooperation project. The launch and promotion of the corridor has directly promoted the economic exchanges and development of the two countries and exerted many influences on the cultural undertakings of the two countries. Based on the bibliography registered in the National Library of Pakistan and the books published by China-Pakistan cooperation in mutual translation as the main reference, combined with the construction of the "Belt and Road" and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor related projects, this paper summarizes the basic situation and existing problems of book publishing on China issues in Pakistan, so as to supplement the gaps in the research content in this field in China. The research results show that since 2013, the content, topic selection and publishing form of Pakistan's published books on China issues have expanded to a certain extent, and the publishing cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan have gradually become more frequent, and the Sino-Pakistan all-weather strategic partnership has been continuously strengthened.
