Western commentators have often criticized the state of press
freedom in China, arguing that individual speech still suffers from
arbitrary restrictions and that its mass media remains under an
authoritarian mode. Yet the history of press freedom in the Chinese
context has received little examination. Unlike conventional
historical accounts which narrate the institutional development of
censorship and people's resistance to arbitrary repression, Freedom
of the Press in China: A Conceptual History, 1831-1949 is the first
comprehensive study presenting the intellectual trajectory of press
freedom. It sheds light on the transcultural transference and
localization of the concept in modern Chinese history, spanning
from its initial introduction in 1831 to the establishment of the
People's Republic of China in 1949. By examining intellectuals'
thoughts, common people's attitudes, and official opinions, along
with the social-cultural factors that were involved in negotiating
Chinese interpretations and practices in history, this book
uncovers the dynamic and changing meanings of press freedom in
modern China.
