According to Chen Hsin-yuan, China has been rapidly establishing massively capitalized publishing houses since 1996. These include almost 50 groups like the Century Publishing Group of Shanghai with paid-in capital of more than RMB500 million, and the truly huge Guangzhou Daily Group, capitalized at more than RMB1 billion.
陳信元指出，大陸自九六年以來，資本額驚人的大型出版集團不斷成立，包括資產額超過十億元的廣州日報集團，資產額五億多的上海世紀出版集團等，將近有五十個。
