Foreign Languages Press

The Foreign Languages Press (FLP) is a state-owned publishing house based in Beijing, China, specifically established to translate, publish, and distribute Chinese literature, government documents, and cultural works for international markets.

Founded in 1952, it serves as one of China’s primary cultural ambassadors to the Western and English-speaking world. Rather than targeting domestic readers, FLP focuses on bridging the cultural gap by producing high-quality translations of Chinese classics, contemporary literature, and official political texts into English, French, Spanish, German, and dozens of other languages.
