Jiang Zeming's new books.

By Du Guodong

The English versions of two of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin's works were released to international audiences last week at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

The two books, On the Development of China's Information Technology Industry and Research on Energy Issues in China, were published by Elsevier Publishing Group with the authorization of the Central Party Literature Publishing House and Shanghai Jiaotong University Press in China.

A grand ceremony to mark the books' launch was held Wednesday afternoon at the Frankfurt fair and attracted a large audience.

"It is the first time for Elsevier to translate Chinese technology books into English. Jiang's books will attract a large number of readers and also expand the horizons of world leaders," Jim Donohue, Elsevier's managing director of science and technology books, was quoted by Xinhua as saying.
