Click here to hear Anne-Marie Brady's BBC World Service radio
documentary titled "The Message from China" China's government is
no longer a Stalinist-Maoist dictatorship, yet it does not seem to
be moving significantly closer to democracy as it is understood in
Western terms. After a period of self-imposed exclusion, Chinese
society is in the process of a massive transformation in the name
of economic progress and integration into the world economy. The
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is seeking to maintain its rule over
China indefinitely, creating yet another "new" China. Propaganda
and thought work play a key role in this strategy. In this
important book, noted China scholar Anne-Marie Brady answers some
intriguing questions about China's contemporary propaganda system.
Why have propaganda and thought work strengthened their hold in
China in recent years? How has the CCP government strengthened its
power since 1989 when so many analysts predicted otherwise? How
does the CCP maintain its monopoly on political power while
dismantling the socialist system? How can the government maintain
popular support in China when the uniting force of
Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideology is spent and discredited? What has
taken the place of communist ideology? Examining propaganda and
thought work in the current period offers readers a unique
understanding of how the CCP will address real and perceived
threats to stability and its continued hold on power. This
innovative book is a must-read for everyone interested in China's
growing role in the world community.
