Cheng & Tsui is an independent publisher of Asian language-learning textbooks and educational materials based in Boston, Massachusetts. We pursue our mission of “Bringing Asia to the World”™ by providing a wide variety of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and other Asian language and culture-learning materials in print and electronic formats for all age groups. Our range of materials includes language-learning core series, literature in translation, history and philosophy, dictionaries, audio and videos, and other interactive media. Through our many publications and a select number of distributed titles, we aim to enrich people’s lives by supporting their exploration of Asia’s many contributions to the fields of language, philosophy, business, history, and the arts.
Since its founding in 1979, Cheng & Tsui has been dedicated to supporting Asian studies with high-quality publications. We work closely with our authors to create groundbreaking and exciting materials that are accessible to a wide audience. In keeping with our mission, we publish not only language textbooks at the K-12 and university levels, but also cultural texts, literary classics, and other specialized materials that might not find a home elsewhere. While in the past we have dealt mostly with Chinese and Japanese materials, we have expanded in recent years to include Korean, Arabic, and Southeast Asian language and cultural materials.
