Who watches over the party-state? In this engaging analysis, Maria
Repnikova reveals the webs of an uneasy partnership between
critical journalists and the state in China. More than merely a
passive mouthpiece or a dissident voice, the media in China also
plays a critical oversight role, one more frequently associated
with liberal democracies than with authoritarian systems. Chinese
central officials cautiously endorse media supervision as a
feedback mechanism, as journalists carve out space for critical
reporting by positioning themselves as aiding the agenda of the
central state. Drawing on rare access in the field, Media Politics
in China examines the process of guarded improvisation that has
defined this volatile partnership over the past decade on a routine
basis and in the aftermath of major crisis events. Combined with a
comparative analysis of media politics in the Soviet Union and
contemporary Russia, the book highlights the distinctiveness of
Chinese journalist-state relations, as well as the renewed
pressures facing them in the Xi era.
