Some foreign titles win commercial success. Stieg Larsson s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy has sold more than 100,000 copies in Chinese. Yet publishing is a local affair, and even translated titles may be trumped by more popular Chinese imitations. Dan Brown s The Da Vinci Code , for example, has been outstripped locally by his Chinese counterpart, He Ma, whose ten-part Tibet Code unearths ancient Tibetan Buddhist secrets.
