The London Book Fair, which kicked off on April 18, has attracted approximately 1,000 publishing enterprises from around the world. A variety of themed books, including English-Chinese, Russian-Chinese, French-Chinese, Spanish-Chinese, and Japanese-Chinese versions of Xi Jinping on Respecting and Protecting Human Rights published by the Central Compilation and Translation Press, have been highly praised by readers at the London Book Fair this year. Xi Jinping on Respecting and Protecting Human Rights, edited by the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee, consists of nine topics, systematically collects Xi Jinping’s major statements on respecting and protecting human rights, and provides an authoritative reading material for studying, publicizing and researching Xi Jinping’s major statements and China’s outlook on human rights as well as the vivid practice of human rights. Published in English-Chinese, Russian-Chinese, French-Chinese, Spanish-Chinese, and Japanese-Chinese versions, the book is of great significance for readers at home and abroad to gain a more thorough understanding of the rich meanings of Xi Jinping’s major statements and China’s practice of respecting and protecting human rights, as well as for enhancing the appeal and influence of China’s outlook on human rights in contemporary times. It is critical in introducing and interpreting Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on human rights as well as in presenting real stories of human rights in China.
