Gold Wall Press
Gold Wall Press (Chinese: 金城出版社), is a state-owned publishing house in China, under the control of the National Administration of State Secrets Protection. Established in 1952 in Beijing, the press initially specialized in producing materials related to national security, confidentiality policies, and political education.[1]
History
[edit]Originally operating under the purview of China's security apparatus, Gold Wall Press expanded its scope in the 1980s to include legal texts, public policy research, and archival compilations. A pivotal restructuring occurred in 2009 as part of China's nationwide publishing industry reforms: the press was corporatized and merged with Xiyuan Press (Chinese: 西苑出版社), a former publisher of Communist Party theoretical works. This merger consolidated resources, integrating Xiyuan's ideological publications into Gold Wall's catalog.[2]
In September 2010, six publishing houses—Study Press, Red Flag Publishing House, Xiyuan Publishing House, Gold Wall Press, Threadneedle Book Bureau, and Printing Industry Press—finalized asset liquidation, dissolved their establishments, and terminated their legal entities.[3]
