The Commercial Press (H.K.) Ltd. has always committed
itself to the promotion of culture and education. New trends in
this information age and advancement in computer technology have

distribution and retail business, and multimedia and online publishing,
thus making itself a new-style, diversified, cross-media publishing
powerhouse.
The company's traditional publications cover many
categories and subjects, with emphasis on dictionaries, textbooks

word banks for the publication of multi-search online language tools
such as the Hanyu Dacidian network version, which is only one example
of application to online education.
Such developments aim at maximizing these valuable resources to
operate an all-round multimedia online service backed by IT educational
products and quality publications for the benefit of the readers.

Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, America, Europe and Japan. In addition
