The National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) is an external name of the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[1]

The NPPA is mainly responsible for implementing the propaganda work guidelines of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), formulating news and publishing management policies and supervising their implementation, managing news and publishing administrative affairs, supervising the content and quality of publications, and managing the import of publications.

## History

[edit]

In March 2018, as part of the deepening the reform of the Party and state institutions, the news and publication management responsibilities of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television was transferred to the Publicity Department, which also would use the name of the National Press and Publication Administration as a one institution with two names.[2] On 22 March 2018, the State Council notified that the National Press and Publication Administration (National Copyright Administration) would be incorporated into the Publicity Department, which would assume relevant responsibilities.[3] On 16 April 2018, the National Press and Publication Administration was officially established.[4]

In 2019, China’s National Press and Publication Administration held a high-level seminar in Beijing, highlighting 95 award-winning projects selected from over 500 submissions as part of its first national initiative to promote high-quality development in digital publishing.[5]
