HONG KONG, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Three books on Chinese President Xi Jinping's works and remarks printed in traditional Chinese characters debuted on Wednesday at the opening of the Hong Kong Book Fair.

The first and second volumes of "Selected Readings from the Works of Xi Jinping," as well as "Xi Jinping: Chinese Modernization," were published and distributed by Sino United Publishing (Holdings) Ltd.
