This cultural event will undoubtedly enhance the friendship and cooperation between Saudi and China," sighed the person in charge of the Saudi booth. The heads of domestic exhibition institutions also expressed surprise at the grand event of this year's China International Import Expo and are confident in accelerating the "going out" of Chinese good books. Gu Qing, Executive Director of the Commercial Press, stated that this year's participation in the China International Import and Export Expo has fully restored the enthusiasm for the development of the publishing industry. The book "going out to sea" accelerates the search for Dunhuang around the world, and then spreads the story of Dunhuang to the world. Not long ago, Rong Xinjiang, a chair professor at Peking University and president of the Dunhuang Turpan Society in China, published his new book "Searching for Dunhuang Across the World" by Zhonghua Book Company. On the first day of the China International Import Expo on June 19th, the signing ceremony for the copyright of the four languages of France, Russia, Japan, and South Korea, as well as the launch of the traditional Chinese version of "Searching for Dunhuang Across the World", was held. As a scholar studying Dunhuang Studies, Rong Xinjiang has always pursued the concept of "Dunhuang in China and Dunhuang Studies in the world" proposed by Ji Xianlin. Dunhuang Studies needs international cooperation and dialogue with the international community of Dunhuang Studies. During the event, Rong Xinjiang expressed his hope that with the external translation of this book, overseas sinologists can feel their understanding of Dunhuang in their own languages, and he also hopes that this book will be loved by more readers. The Beijing Writers Day event has been held continuously for five years. It is understood that over the past five years, 41 works of 35 Beijing writers have signed contracts with overseas publishing houses, covering 13 languages in 18 countries, with a total of approximately 7.35 million words. Excellent works of Beijing literature such as "The Collected Works of Lao She" have also entered libraries in more than 20 countries and regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France through overseas literary exchange activities. During the China International Import and Export Expo, Chinese themed books accelerated their journey towards going global. According to the preliminary statistics of the organizing committee, a total of 2100 copyright trade agreements (including intentions) have been reached between China and foreign countries at this year's International Import and Export Expo. Among them, 1426 intentions and agreements were reached for various copyright exports, 558 intentions and agreements were reached for imports, and 116 intentions were reached for cooperative publishing. "AI technology" and "new quality productivity" have become hot topics in the book fair. As important indicators leading the development of the publishing industry, the annual Image Expo focuses on forward-looking issues in the global publishing industry. This year, "AI technology" and "new quality productivity" have become hot topics of discussion. The Beijing International Publishing Forum of the China International Import Expo Brand Forum focuses on the theme of "New Quality Productivity and Publishing Innovation"; The theme of the 2024 Publishing and Technological Innovation Conference is "The Future of Publishing Empowered by AI"; The World Forum on the Future of Academic Libraries focuses on "AIFORTERVICE" and "The Value Transformation of Libraries in the Digital Era". In numerous dialogue and exchange activities, Chinese and foreign publishers and experts in the field of technology have deeply explored the opportunities and challenges of the integration and coexistence of culture and technology in the AI era. "The history of human publishing has always achieved self-development through continuous integration and technological innovation." Lin Liying, General Manager of Zhongtu Company, believes that this fully reflects the characteristics of the publishing industry in disseminating knowledge, inheriting civilization, serving social progress, and stimulating innovation and creation. Zhongtu Company will collaborate with different types of partners in academic service application scenarios, cross-border data transactions, intelligent reading, AI knowledge services, and other aspects in different dimensions. He Manchao, an academician of the CAS Member, pointed out that the application of AI technology in the publishing industry is deepening, and this trend is reshaping the traditional publishing process and content creation. In the era of knowledge explosion, it is impossible for people to understand all the information and the latest research results, which has led to the emergence of AI technology. Arnold, President of Springer Nature Publishing Group in Greater China, introduced some of the organization's experiences in using AI technology to assist book publishing, and introduced several principles of AI technology utilization summarized by the organization to colleagues in the publishing industry around the world. The 5-day World Expo has come to an end, and the global travel of Good Books is still ongoing. The 5th "China Publishing Group Good Books Global Cloud Exhibition and Sales Conference", hosted by China Publishing Group and hosted by Zhongtu Company, opened during the China International Book Fair. The event lasted for six months, and Chinese and foreign libraries and publishing houses can introduce and export high-quality book resources through online communication, and carry out more collaborative publishing projects.
