When Discover China made its debut at the Frankfurt Book Fair three years ago, people paid more attention to the cooperation between the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press (FLTRP) and Macmillan Publishers Ltd. in producing the audio-visual Chinese learning textbook.
This mandarin textbook has been selling well in Europe, Australia, Canada, and many other English-speaking countries in the past three years, and its second volume has recently been published. Its growing overseas sales prove that it is "the best mandarin textbook made by FLTRP through international cooperation".
The global popularity of Discover China shows that it is important for domestic publishers to cooperate with foreign counterparts when expanding overseas.

"Similar content is a major bottleneck to the publication and promotion of Chinese language textbooks", said Hao Zhensheng, director of the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication. The compilers of many Chinese textbooks have not studied the reading habits of foreign readers, and "have chosen content freely, leading to textbook homogenization."
