China's Thought Management argues that by re-emphasizing and
modernizing propaganda and thought work since 1989, the CCP has
managed to overcome a succession of local and national level crises
- the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the impact of the collapse
Socialism in the Eastern bloc, SARS, ethnic clashes in Tibet and
Xinjiang, to name but a few - emerging re-strengthened and as
dominant in Chinese society as ever. The contributors to this book
address such crucial issues as the new emphasis on economic
propaganda, the continued importance of the PLA propaganda system
in China's overall propaganda work and political stability, how the
CCP uses "Confu-talk" in its foreign and domestic propaganda, and
new approaches to mass persuasion such as "campaigns of mass
distraction." Each chapter is a case study of the multiple ways in
which the CCP has modified and adjusted its propaganda to reflect
China's changed economic and political environment.
Challenging readers to reconceptualise mainstream understandings
of the CCP's hold on power and the means the CCP government adopts
to maintain its authority to rule, this book will be invaluable
reading for anyone interested in the Chinese media and Chinese
politics.
