Over the years, the field of Chinese interpreting has experienced remarkable growth, not only in terms of market demand but also in research trends within the discipline of translation studies.

'This volume?s in-depth examination of issues specific to China and Chinese interpreting not only deepens the reader?s understanding of elements unique to China and Chinese interpreting, but also offers universal lessons in how pedagogical, institutional, and professional practices can (and must!) adapt to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. I recommend this book to interpreter educators, researchers, and practicing professionals of all language combinations interested in deepening their knowledge of interpretation history, settings, modalities, education, assessment, and future trends.'
