In the context of China's cultural development, national reading has become a key strategic initiative for enhancing national literacy and fostering social progress. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the promotion of national reading has achieved historic breakthroughs in legislative protection, financial investment, regional coordination, and technological empowerment. In particular, the promulgation of the regulations to promote public reading marks a transition toward a rule-based, systematic, and standardized phase in the development of a reading society. Nevertheless, numerous challenges persist in the new era, including insufficient public awareness of reading, disparities in reading resources between urban and rural areas, inadequate guidance for juvenile reading, the presence of a large “non-reader” population, and the need to improve accessible reading services for disadvantaged groups. In response, this study systematically addresses these challenges by proposing ten interconnected dimensions of intervention. First, it calls for elevating societal recognition of the value of reading through public campaigns and policy advocacy. Second, it emphasizes the equitable allocation of reading resources, advocating for the development of a multi-tiered, networked infrastructure such as “city study rooms” and “rural libraries,” supported by data-driven resource distribution and public–private partnerships. Third, this study highlights the importance of structured reading guidance for children and adolescents through school-based reading curricula, teacher training, and family–community–school collaboration. A distinct focus is placed on the transformation of “non-readers”—individuals with reading ability but without reading habits—through targeted interventions across different life stages. For young people, this involves fostering early reading interest via family and school programs; for adults, it includes creating reading opportunities linked to daily life and workplace settings. Furthermore, it stresses the advancement of accessible reading for people with disabilities, in alignment with the Marrakesh Treaty and national laws on accessible environment construction. The publishing industry is identified as a pivotal force in terms of providing high-quality content and leading reading trends, while media organizations are urged to promote reading culture through traditional and digital channels. Leadership engagement is also deemed critical, with suggestions for establishing reading lists for officials and encouraging their public participation in reading activities. Additionally, this study underscores the need to strengthen theoretical research on reading, particularly in neuroscience and psychology, to inform evidence-based promotion strategies. Finally, in response to the digital transition, it advocates for cultivating new literacy skills in the digital age, accelerating the digitization of reading resources, promoting intelligent reading services through artificial intelligence (AI), and integrating digital and print reading in educational settings. Through these multidimensional efforts, this paper envisions a comprehensive, lifelong, and inclusive reading ecosystem that enhances individual well-being and comprehensive development, and contributes to national cultural vitality and social cohesion in the new era.
