• 北京语言大学出版社北美分社/Phoenix Tree Publishing Inc. Beijing Language and Culture University Press (BLCUP) is a state-owned corporation of Beijing Language and Culture University. Since it was founded in 1985, BLCUP has drawn on the university’s language resources to make foreign language teaching and the communication of Chinese culture the main focus of its publications, which mainly target foreigners. BLCUP firmly believes in “specialized and professional” development and avoids blindly trying to scale up its business. Focusing on international education and the diffusion of Chinese culture, it has grown into a well-known publishing company in this field.

   

  In 2011, BLCUP responded to demand in the North American market for both Chinese culture and Chinese language learning by establishing the wholly owned subsidiary company Phoenix Tree Publishing Inc. in Chicago. Since its establishment, Phoenix Tree has been devoted to promoting the development of Chinese language program and the dissemination of Chinese culture in North America. Currently, Phoenix Tree’s products have been adopted by over three hundreds schools in 45 states and all the three countries in North America. Visit http://www.phoenixtree.com for more information.
