Synopsis

Since the late 1990s, there has been a crucial and substantial 
transformation in China’s television system involving institutional, 
structural and regulatory changes. Unraveling the implications of these 
changes is vital for understanding the politics of Chinese media 
policy-making and regulation, and thus a comprehensive study of this 
history has never been more essential.

This book studies the transformation of the policy and regulation of the 
Chinese television sector within a national political and economic 
context from 1996 to the present day. Taking a historical and 
sociological approach, it engages in the theoretical debates over the 
nature of the transformation of media in the authoritarian Chinese 
state; the implications of the ruling party’s political legitimacy and 
China’s central-local conflicts upon television policy-making and market 
structure; and the nature of the media modernisation process in a 
developing country. Its case studies include broadcasting systems in 
Shanghai and Guangdong, which demonstrate that varied policies and 
development strategies have been adopted by television stations, 
reflecting different local circumstances and needs.


Arguing that rather than being a homogenous entity, China has 
demonstrated the substantial local diversity and complex interactions 
between local, national and global media, this book will be of interest 
to students and scholars of Chinese media, politics and policy, and 
international communications.
