How can Japanese popular culture gain numerous fans in China,
despite pervasive anti-Japanese sentiment? How is it that there's
such a strong anti-Korean sentiment in Chinese online fan
communities when the official Sino-Korean relationship is quite
stable before 2016? Avid fans in China are raising hundreds of
thousands of dollars in funding to make gifts to their idols in
foreign countries. Tabloid reports on Japanese and Korean
celebrities have been known to trigger nationalist protests in
China. So, what is the relationship between Chinese fandom of
Japanese and Korean popular culture and nationalist sentiment among
Chinese youth? Chen discusses how Chinese fans of Japanese and
Korean popular culture have formed their own nationalistic
discourse since the 1990s. She argues that, as nationalism is
constructed from various entangled ideologies, narratives, myths
and collective memories, popular culture simply becomes another
resource for the construction of nationalism. Fans thus actively
select, interpret and reproduce the content of cultural products to
suit their own ends. Unlike existing works, which focus on the
content of transnational cultural flows in East Asia, this book
focuses on the reception and interpretation of the Chinese
audience.
