The Inner Mongolia People's Publishing House (IMPPH) is a publishing company based in Hohhot, the capital of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region of the People's Republic of China. It was established in 1951.[1] Their president is Wang Dongsheng (王東生).[2]

Publications

IMPPH publish original works in Chinese and Mongolian, as well as translations of English works.[3]

Incidents

IMPPH have been accused of violations of intellectual property rights on various occasions. In 2001, there appeared a book[4] with the imprint of IMPPH, whose author's pseudonym, title, cover art, and content bore a close resemblance to Han Han's Triple Doors;[5] however, a spokesperson for IMPPH denied that the company had actually printed those books, instead claiming that another party was misusing their name.[6] A 2004 article by the China Youth Daily also claimed that the IMPPH's 2001 book about chengyu[7] plagiarised roughly 500,000 words from a similar book[8] published four years earlier by the China Youth Press.[9]

In 2004, the IMPPH were also fined by the General Administration of Press and Publication for trading in book registration numbers.[10] They sold the book registration numbers to a publishing company in Jiangxi, enabling the latter to carry out illegal publication activities.[11]
