This study employs literature analysis and qualitative analysis to delineate the primary historical stages of China's foreign publishing practices, outlining significant events within each phase. It provides policy interpretation within the context of international cooperation and cultural exchange, demonstrating how these phased changes have accelerated China's internationalization process, particularly in enhancing cultural integration and addressing the copyright trade deficit. Since the beginning of the new century, China's foreign publishing cooperation has witnessed a substantial increase in various projects, plans, and initiatives in China's foreign publishing cooperation. Following the introduction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, notable advancements have emerged, shifting the focus of foreign publishing cooperation. Current measures predominantly align with "building a community with a shared future for mankind, " emphasizing reciprocal engagement and dialogue mechanisms, while maintaining equilibrium between "bringing in" and "going out." This study examines theoretical adaptations, noting that sinicization theory necessarily reflects China's political and economic realities, whereas Western cross-cultural communication theory, with its Western-centric perspective, does not adequately incorporate Eastern wisdom, limiting its applicability to China's foreign publishing practices and cross-cultural publishing cooperation. This paper analyzes prevalent cross-cultural communication concepts and, drawing from industry practices and development patterns, examines the practical theoretical foundations and logical variables of "cross-cultural publishing" for Chinese publishing enterprises. It explores publishing cooperation cognition based on China's theoretical characteristics and policy perspectives, thereby promoting the concept empowerment of foreign publishing cooperation from "going out" to "going in, " "going up, " and "integrating in." This research considers Professor Zhao Yuezhi's political economy of cross-cultural communication, which emphasizes intercultural dialogue and local cultural integration. Additionally, it develops a combined analytical framework of cross-cultural communication and communication political economy, facilitating enhanced understanding of international "cross-cultural publishing." The concept of "cross-cultural publishing" requires continuous adaptation to the evolving international landscape, reassessing core objectives, discourse systems, and material support in response to shifting power dynamics, international developments, and technological innovations. To achieve comprehensive integration into the international publishing industry, enhance the sector's international business capabilities, and accurately convey the Chinese proposition and characteristics of "cross-cultural publishing, " emphasis must be placed on scientific research and talent cultivation, as fundamental guarantees for achieving the goal.
