In recent years, the Belt and Road Initiative offers more opportunities for cultural exchanges between China and Indian publishers. Guided by GEPH’s Going-global policy, the English edition of An Ideological History of the Communist Party of China was published with a worldwide distribution plan.

This is a 3-volume series that traces the development of the thought underlying the CPC’s policies, methods, and actions since its establishment in 1921. The first volume covers the period from the founding of the Party through a turbulent period of armed revolutionary struggle until the establishment of the new China in 1949. The second volume picks up there and continues through 1978, the year the Reform and Opening Up policy was launched. The final volume in the series traces the various policies and development of the CPC’s ideology through the Reform and Opening Up era until the present.

All three volumes present an inside look at the shaping of the Party’s ideology, reflecting the ways in which that ideology has played out in the CPC’s social, political, military, economic, and cultural agendas.

Members of Party History Research Center of the CPC Central Committee Zheng Qian, Huang Yibin and Wu Guoyou, who co-authored the 3-volume series, are well-versed and productive in ideological history researches of the Communist Party of China.

This series is suited to readers who are reasonably well-versed with the events of modern Chinese history, but lack insight into the development of the CPC’s thought and policies throughout its development. These books do an excellent job of reflecting sophistication behind the thought that underlies Chinese Marxism, the driving ideology of the Communist Party of China.

With a 500-year-old history, the Frankfurt International Book Fair is acknowledged to be the world's largest trade fair for books. It attracts a global audience from book industry professionals, with a total number of visitors of more than a quarter a million each year.

GEPH and Royal Collins hope to reach as much readers as possible through this book fair, informing global readers the great and arduous journey the Communist Party of China has gone through, voicing stories of modern China, demonstrating the image of China as a responsible major country,

GEPH and Royal Collins would like to take this opportunity to publish and promote more high-quality books, to strive for in-depth academic exchanges between China and India, thus to facilitate mutual understanding between Chinese culture and English culture.
