Abstract: Literary reception is the focal point of several areas of research, including communication, literary studies, but also economy, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. Thus, the theory of reception is vivid and abundant, changing instinctively its influences and valences, being open to the construction of new ramifications in areas, often related but, more frequently, different, such as economy, politics and international relations. The overall objective of the present research is to closely analyse literary translations from Chinese into Romanian from the point of view of cultural reception and to reflect and investigate what this strategy involves before and after translation. This paper proposes, thus, an extended approach to cultural translations, an approach to the sociology of translations, to their cultural, linguistic, literary, political and economic reception. In achieving the proposed objectives, the research expands far beyond the literary text itself, to its macro context. This paper will analyse a series of interviews with Romanian translators of Chinese literary works, investigating, through a qualitative exploratory research, the role of translators in the cultural exchange between China and Romania and their influence on cultural, political and economic relations between the two countries.
