The National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) is an external name of the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[1]
The NPPA is mainly responsible for implementing the propaganda work guidelines of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), formulating news and publishing management policies and supervising their implementation, managing news and publishing administrative affairs, supervising the content and quality of publications, and managing the import of publications.
History

In 2019, China’s National Press and Publication Administration held a high-level seminar in Beijing, highlighting 95 award-winning projects selected from over 500 submissions as part of its first national initiative to promote high-quality development in digital publishing.[5]
