'The Real Romney' gets Chinese version

A Chinese version of the book "The Real Romney", about the U.S. Republican presidential challenger was launched Thursday in Beijing.

The biography was published by the China Democratic and Legal System Publishing House under the general office of China's top legislature offering readers an insight into Mitt Romney. The book focuses on Romney's personal life, including his family, career and religious belief.

Authors Michael Kranish and Scott Helman, both reporters of the Boston Globe, spent years researching the biography, delving into the psyche of a "complex man," according to the book's preface.

This week, New York was the stage for the second of three presidential debates ahead of the U.S. election in November.

Romney surged ahead in polls after his first debate with President Barack Obama earlier this month, according to Real Clear Politics' poll average.

The race to the White House remains tight, experts said.
