As a co-organizer of the exhibition themed "Reading China," China International Book Trading Corporation (CIBTC) under China International Communications Group brought the event to 45 physical bookstores across 21 countries and regions, including the U.S., France, Japan, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and Mauritius.

Participating bookstores showcased works by Chinese national leaders and related publications, alongside a selection of high-quality books that are intellectually enriching, artistically valuable, and easy to read.

In addition, the venues hosted writer and scholar exchange events, as well as interactive cultural activities such as Spring Festival couplet writing and lantern riddle guessing.

CIBTC also organized a variety of cultural activities, including displays of books on traditional Chinese culture, a lecture on China's intangible cultural heritage, a reader salon on China's local cultures, and an essay contest about the most beautiful place to visit in China.
