Dual language: GCP publishes social scientific and humanities academic and popular books bilingually. Some books have both English and Chinese editions, and other books have only an English or a Chinese edition. GCP provides English and Chinese dual language information in all journals and books. In the case of an English book, the Chinese part of the dual language information is designed to assist Chinese readers. Similarly, two of the journals are in Chinese, and the English part of the dual language information includes material to help non-Chinese speakers appreciate the endeavours in this field outside the English-speaking world.
