New treaty helps visually impaired to access books

China's effective implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty marks the country's continual efforts to ensure visually impaired people have equal rights to knowledge and education, experts said on Friday.

The Marrakesh Treaty allows copyright exceptions to let visually impaired people get access to copyrighted books and other works.

Zhang Jianchun, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said at a meeting on Friday in Beijing that the treaty implementation demonstrates the Party's philosophy of always putting people first.
