The stakes for control over the means of communication in China
have never been so high as the country struggles with breathtaking
social change. This authoritative book analyzes the key dimensions
of the transformation in China's communication system since the
early 1990s and examines the highly fluid and potentially explosive
dynamics of communication, power, and social contestation during
China's rapid rise as a global power. Yuezhi Zhao begins with an
analysis of the party-state's reconfiguration of political,
economic, and ideological power in the Chinese communication
system. She then explores the processes and social implications of
domestic and foreign capital formation in the communication
industry. Drawing on media and Internet debates on fundamental
political, economic, and social issues in contemporary China, the
book concludes with a nuanced depiction of the pitched and uneven
battles for access and control among different social forces.
Locating developments in Chinese communication within the nexus of
state, market, and society, the author analyzes how the legacies of
socialism continue to cast a long shadow. The book not only
provides a multifaceted and interdisciplinary portrait of
contemporary Chinese communication, but also explores profound
questions regarding the nature of the state, the dynamics of class
formation, and the trajectory of China's epochal social
transformation.
