The Bible is America’s best-selling book, annually outpacing the top 20 best sellers combined. Yet a single Chinese company has a near monopoly on Bible printing, meaning that any rupture in the supply chain—say, from U.S. or Chinese government policies—would lead to a Bible shortage in America. This poses a serious threat both to American Christians’ fundamental religious liberty rights and to national security.
More than 20 million Protestant and Catholic Bibles are printed annually by America’s largest Bible publishing companies. But few are aware that most of these Bibles are printed in China, by Amity Printing Company.

1 Timothy 6:10
When China tells the world we must get rid of all Bibles, Biden and the Pope will immediately agree and beg forgiveness from their savior, Chairman Xi.
Zondervan
Probably it’s good to have at least one outfit in China printing Bibles, cuz that way if the Chinese Christians need one they can just take one and pass it on.
I actually worked for a Catholic company that published Bibles. It is tricky, because the paper has to be VERY thin, and a lot of printing presses cannot work with it. Of course, we NEVER considered printing out of the country, much less Red China. We had a paperback edition that we printed in-house, and our New Testament was published in-house. I believe we went with Donnelly of Illinois for our full-sized hardbound edition. our big seller. Donnelly is most known for printing telephone books, which have many of the same issues. The company who bought my former employer out has no printing facilities, but I do NOT believe they would outsource to Red China. I believe India also does some Bible printing.
Shake your fist at God, and bear the consequences.
The Bible is available in other forms besides print. Kinda find it a bit of a stretch in this day and age to think if the chicoms stop printing them no one else in the world has the capability.
from the article:
(Bible publishers that don’t print in China include InterVarsity Press [IVP], St. Ignatius Press, St. Benedict Press, Cambridge University Press, R. L. Allan & Son, and Schuyler Bibles.)
Zondervan Bibles are printed in China.
Did you read the article, about how this same printing company is busy printing adulterated (Chinese language) Bibles according to the dictates of the CCP? Jesus stoning the adulteress!?!
Zondervan and Thomas Nelson are both owned by Harper-Collins, and they are the ones mainly printed in China, per the article. Zondervan caters mostly to the evangelical market, IMO. Thomas Nelson sells to both Catholics and Protestants.
The Word of God is an unstoppable force. China has no power to silence His word, whatever they may think.
And it’s why they lay the ground work for the same here.
I think Viet Nam and Korea print Bibles, too. Just bought my husband a Bible printed in the USA. They are not easy to find. Only two companies I know of.
Talk about blasphemy!
Forgot about Cambridge, Schuyler and Allen. There is also Humble Lamb and Church Bible Publishers.
NONE of the above publishers offer inexpensive Bibles.
Amen!
