Global Dreams in Small-Town China
As international communication centers proliferate across China down to the county level, Xi Jinping’s grand vision for global “discourse power” meets absurd local reality.
The Guilin Beibei Te Electronic Audio-Video Publishing House (桂林貝貝特電子音像出版社有限責任公司) was established in June 2005 in Guilin, Guangxi, with Lai Zhiwen (賴志文) serving as its legal representative. The company specializes in electronic and audio-visual publishing, including electronic publications, online publishing, and audio-visual production services. The publishing house is wholly owned by Guangxi Normal University Press Group, a state-owned publisher that has received commendations from the Central Propaganda Department and says it “adheres to the correct political direction” and “effectively puts social benefits in the first place.”
