Like in other East Asian countries, One Piece has gained noteworthy popularity in China.
Manga[]
Mainland China[]
Zhejiang People's Fine Arts Publishing House (浙江人民美术出版社) has the rights to the One Piece manga volumes in China since 2007. Tencent (腾讯) has the rights to the One Piece manga in digital format since 2015.
The official Chinese title of One Piece follows the Taiwanese version, hence, the manga is released as 航海王 (lit. "Sailing King"). Its release schedule is unstable due to the censorship system in China.
There are some fandom groups, often called 汉化组 (lit. "Translate to Chinese Group"), that also translate One Piece without official license. These unofficial releases are usually published under the title 海贼王 (lit. "Pirate King"). Their translated name is also one of the most popular in Chinese fandom. Some older scanlation groups used 海盗王 (lit. "Pirate King") as the title.
Hong Kong[]
In Hong Kong, the manga is translated and published by Jonesky Limited (天下出版有限公司). The official title is left as One Piece. However, some merchandise books like One Piece Magazine are published by Tong Li Hong Kong Publishing (東立香港出版社).
Anime[]
Sub[]
Due to the popularity of online streaming services in China, the One Piece anime is streamed with Chinese subtitles by iQiyi under the title 航海王 (lit. "Sailing King").
There are also Chinese fansub groups, which use 海贼王 (lit. "Pirate King") as the title.
Cantonese Dub[]
The Cantonese dub was aired in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2001. Only one season was aired as the reception was poor. The dub used One Piece as the title.
Mandarin Dub[]
The Mandarin dub was aired in mainland China from 2001 to 2003. Only three seasons were aired, but the third season stopped halfway in its airing to make way for another manhua anime that was from China itself. This version used 航海王 (lit. "Sailing King") as the title.
