Wetsite Focusing on Marxism Launched in China

A website focusing on Marxism was launched in Beijing Friday, the birthday of Karl Marx (1818-1883), in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the publication of the Chinese version of Marx's "Manifesto of the Communist Party".

The website, http://www.red-world.com.cn, provides an general introduction of Marxism and discusses China's practice of Marxist theory.

It also includes a special column on Marx.

"Marxism cannot be separated from the development of modern science and technology," said Fan Qiangming, manager of Beijing Gongming Chuangxin Bookstore, which sponsors the website.

"The Internet is a place of importance for the study of Marxism, " Fan said.

Fan opened his bookstore in October 1998, selling political books such as works by Marx, Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping.
