China is now the Bible-printing capital of the world.
Amity Press, owned by the communist government, has now printed more than 50 million Bibles in 75 languages from Slovak to Swahili to Braille, exporting them to more than 60 countries. The company is now gearing to produce downloadable audio Bibles for computers and mp3 players.
A new, hangar-sized state-of-the-art printing facility in Nanjing is able to print 12 million copies annually. Are the Bibles sold in China itself? Yes, anyone can buy a Bible—but only through one of the state-authorized Three-Self Patriotic Movement churches.
This summer, Amity is providing free special Olympic edition Bibles to any participants in the Beijing Olympics.
