Characteristics of Hong Kong Publishing House

1, press freedom

Hong Kong advocates cultural openness and freedom of speech and publication. In addition to restricting gambling, alcohol and tobacco, abetting crimes and related pictures and texts, the government has not set unnecessary publishing taboos, which fully guarantees publishers' freedom of speech and publication. Each publishing house has its own publishing principles and positions, and the specific standards are mastered by each publishing house.

2. Wide distribution scope

There are many kinds of publications published by publishing houses in Hong Kong, and generally all kinds of books can be published. In addition to paper books, newspapers and periodicals, electronic and digital publications can also be published without language restrictions.

3. Private nature

In Chinese mainland, private capital is not allowed to set up and operate publishing houses, and all publishing houses must be "state-owned". Hong Kong Publishing House is open to private capital and can be registered as a private publishing house.
