“The issue of how Mao Zedong’s works have been projected throughout the world is an important one, because it correlates with the spread of Chinese culture internationally. This book shows the extraordinary diversity and range of the attempt to spread the influence of Mao Zedong’s works throughout the world. There are chapters on the spread of Mao’s works to Japan, Africa and various parts of Asia and America. Translations into English, Japanese, Spanish and other Asian, European and African languages are covered. The detail is unique and precious. China is a rising power, its influence benign and its culture rich. It is essential for the world to know about China, and to try and understand its culture and ideas. This book is the first to show this influence in such detail, with an enormous wealth of facts and analysis. I welcome its publication very warmly.” (Colin Mackerras, Professor at Griffith University)

“Professor He Mingxing from Beijing Foreign Studies University's recent book Mao Zedong's Works a global history has sorted out the dissemination track of Mao Zedong's works in the world through translations in 20 languages. It is an excellent work presenting the research history of Mao Zedong. The author approaches the theme from a new perspective of cross - cultural communication, re - examines the translation and publication process of Mao Zedong's works, reconstructs the cultural appearance of the People's Republic and the form of international cultural exchanges, sums up historical experiences and lessons, and thus has important academic value and innovative significance. As an in - depth cross - cultural research practice, the author's research is a necessary supplement to the developing overseas Chinese Studies. …” (Hou Qie'an，Distinguished Professor, School of History, Beijing Normal University)
