As China is increasingly integrated into the processes of economic,
political, social, and cultural globalization, important questions
arise about how Chinese people perceive and evaluate such
processes. At the same time, international communication scholars
have long been interested in how local, national, and transnational
media communications shape people's attitudes and values. Combining
these two concerns, this book examines a range of questions
pertinent to public opinion toward globalization in urban China: To
what degree are the urban residents in China exposed to the
influences from the outside world? How many transnational social
connections does a typical urban Chinese citizen have? How often do
they consume foreign media? To what extent are they aware of the
notion of globalization, and what do they think about it? Do they
believe that globalization is beneficial to China, to the city
where they live, and to them personally? How do people's social
connections and communication activities shape their views toward
globalization and the outside world? This book tackles these and
other questions systematically by analyzing a four-city comparative
survey of urban Chinese residents, demonstrating the complexities
of public opinion in China. Media consumption does relate, though
by no means straightforwardly, to people's attitudes and beliefs,
and this book provides much needed information and insights about
Chinese public opinion on globalization. It also develops fresh
conceptual and empirical insights on issues such as public opinion
toward US-China relations, Chinese people's nationalistic
sentiments, and approaches to analyze attitudes toward
globalization.
