China Statistics Press

China Statistics Press, known in Chinese as 中国统计出版社, is a Chinese publishing entity focused on the production and dissemination of official statistical information and related analytical literature. Its publishing scope includes statistical theories, monographs, national statistical reference works, industry-specific yearbooks, regional yearbooks, and economic literature. The press operates under the National Bureau of Statistics of China and is located in Beijing’s Fengtai District. The press was founded in 1955, placing its origins in the early development of the modern Chinese statistical publishing system. Its role is closely connected with the collection, organization, interpretation, and public circulation of statistical material generated by China’s official statistical institutions. Rather than functioning primarily as a general-interest trade publisher, it serves as a specialist source of statistical reference material for government agencies, researchers, universities, businesses, libraries, and other users of socioeconomic data. Its best-known publishing activity is the China Statistical Yearbook, a major annual statistical reference publication covering broad aspects of China’s economic and social development. The press also issues yearbooks devoted to particular industries and administrative regions, allowing readers to consult more specialized or geographically focused datasets. In addition, it publishes works addressing statistical methodology and theory, as well as monographs and economic studies that provide context for the use and interpretation of statistical information. China Statistics Press has twice received recognition as a distinguished publishing house from China’s General Administration of Press and Publication. This recognition reflects its institutional importance and specialization in statistical and economic publishing. The available reference material does not identify a separate commercial parent beyond the National Bureau of Statistics, nor does it provide a current executive roster, standalone financial disclosures, or an official public website for the press. Its continuing institutional position is nevertheless indicated by its ongoing association with the National Bureau of Statistics and its established statistical reference series.

China Statistics Press was established in 1955 as a specialist publishing organization serving China’s statistical information system. Its institutional role is tied to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, under which it operates. From its base in Fengtai District, Beijing, the press has focused on turning official statistical material and associated research into published reference works for professional and public use. The press’s output centers on statistical information and the literature needed to understand it. Its publications include broad national statistical yearbooks, yearbooks organized by industry or region, works on statistical theory, monographs, and economic literature. This portfolio gives the press a role that is both documentary and analytical: its yearbooks assemble statistical indicators in reference form, while its theoretical and monographic publications address methods, interpretation, and specialized economic topics. The China Statistical Yearbook is the principal publication associated with the press in the available reference material. Alongside this national series, the press publishes statistical yearbooks dealing with individual sectors and regions. These publications extend the availability of statistical reference information beyond a single national overview and support comparison across economic fields and administrative areas. China Statistics Press has twice been recognized by the General Administration of Press and Publication as a distinguished publishing house. The available sources do not specify the years of those honors or provide a detailed chronology of individual editions, organizational changes, leadership appointments, campaigns, or commercial decisions. Accordingly, the documented history is strongest on the press’s founding, institutional affiliation, location, publishing remit, and recognition within China’s publishing system.
