Cheng Chung Book Store

Cheng Chung Book Store (正中書局 / 正中網路書店) is a Taiwanese bookstore and publishing house best known for compiling and printing textbooks for overseas Chinese schools. According to Wikidata, it is a bookstore in Taiwan that specializes in compiling and printing textbooks for overseas Chinese schools. Its Chinese Wikipedia entry notes that it was founded by Chen Li-fu (陳立夫) and was once a party-owned enterprise of the Kuomintang (中國國民黨), focusing on printing political propaganda works, overseas Chinese school textbooks, and university subject textbooks, while also providing services for overseas compatriots to purchase Chinese-language books. It received the "Golden Tripod Award for Outstanding Export of Publications" (圖書出版品輸出績優金鼎獎) and transitioned to a private enterprise in 2003. The official website describes Cheng Chung Online Bookstore as the nation's most professional online bookstore for Chinese-language and campus extracurricular reading materials, selling graduate school entrance exam books, English and Chinese learning materials, and textbooks and supplementary teaching materials for junior high, elementary, and college examinations. Its product range therefore spans Chinese-language teaching materials (華語教材), humanities and social sciences (文史哲), graduate school exam preparation (研究所考), college textbooks (大專用書), business management (商業企管), campus reading (校園讀物), and translated film novelizations (電影原著翻譯小說). Operating primarily in Taiwan, the brand also serves overseas Chinese communities through its book-purchasing services. Its dual identity as both a physical/online retailer and a compiler-publisher of educational content distinguishes it from general-interest bookstores. The 2003 privatization marked a shift from party-owned status to a private commercial enterprise, and the brand continues to operate its online bookstore at ccbc.com.tw.
