It\u2019s a market where there are clear opportunities for academic publishers, but where there are pitfalls too, which is why it\u2019s very important to have an experienced &#8211; and above all, trustworthy &#8211; partner. I have been very impressed with the representation work done by Dr. Tony Zhou and his team at Inspirees, and would certainly recommend them&#8221;.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"text-align-justify pub-tst-fnt-bld pub-txt-end\"><em><b>John Peters, Managing Director, Wainstalls Partnership (Bradford, UK)<\/b><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Active Publisher Representation in China\u00a0(APR): Marketing + Sales + Distribution &nbsp; For small and medium-sized foreign publishers to be successful in the Chinese market, it is crucial to have a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4381,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_oct_exclude_from_cache":false,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1771"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1771"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5266,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1771\/revisions\/5266"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inspirees.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
