Abstract:

Is there a need for technical communication as a profession in China? This research aimed at answering the question through two surveys--one on the practice of technical communication in industries in China and the other on the opinions from users of technical documents. The survey results showed that there are problem areas that need to be addressed by professional technical communicators.
