"The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Translation is highly illuminating and informative. In comparison to other handbooks, it is unique in its ‘Chineseness’, its combination of theory and practice, and its focus on the past, present and future. It is undoubtedly a major contribution to the discipline of TS. ... The combination of theory and practice, the historical review, the up-to-date overview and the insightful outlook all make it an essential reference book for scholars and students who work on Chinese translation."- Yuanyi Ma & Bo Wang, Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice
