Founded in 2000, the Research Press was originally affiliated with the Policy Research Office of the CPC Central Committee as a publisher owned by the whole people, which was restructured and entered into an agreement with China Publishing Group Corporation in December 2014 to become its subsidiary.
One significant advantage of the Research Press is its profound and comprehensive understanding of the principles and policies of the Party and the country, which enables it to publish high-quality research on the Party and government, as well as other social sciences.
