This book examines China's identity transformations with a focus on
self-perceptions and their representations and communication in the
mass media. By considering the internal dynamics of change, it
explores the emerging multifaceted 'China brand'. With its growing
economic clout, China has taken a proactive stance in shaping
global economic and strategic order through ambitious programmes
such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the 'Belt and
Road' initiative. However, as a developing country, China is at
pains to manage its own transformations while trying to carve out
an international identity. Arguably, China's unique sense of
history and identities may lead to a 'contested modernity' or
'multiple modernities'; radically different from the prevalent
classical theories of modernisation and convergence of industrial
societies. To understand China's trajectory of future development
has been a major issue in international affairs. This book is
concerned with how China's hybridised identities are articulated,
and intertwined with situational, institutional, and societal
dynamics - and how they are interwoven with China's international
outlook which converges with or diverges from China's historical
assumptions and beliefs. This book will be of interest to those
studying China's identity in the media; situated at the juncture of
past, present, and future, and between China and the wider world.

The contradictions of modernisation run through the whole of modern
Chinese history. The abundance of manufactured goods being sold in
the west attests to China's industrial revolution, but this
capitalist vision of 'utopia' sits uneasily with traditional
Chinese values. It is also in conflict with the socialism that has
been the bedrock of Chinese society since the foundation of the
People's Republic in 1949. Utopia and Modernity in China examines
the conflicts inherent in China's attempt to achieve a 'utopia' by
advancing production and technology. Through the lenses of
literature, arts, law, the press and the environment, the
contributors interrogate the contradictions of modernisation in
Chinese society and its fundamental challenges. By unpicking both
China's vision of utopia and its realities and the increasing
tension between traditional Chinese values and those of the west,
this book offers a unique insight into the cultural forces that are
part of reshaping today's China.

This book presents a critical analysis of the images of China
portrayed in British television documentaries between 1980 and
2000. The examination is contextualized within the profound
transformations of the post-reform China and global political
structures in the last two decades of the 20th century. Using an
innovative analytical framework based on Vladimir Propp, the book
focuses on how different images of China are constructed through an
effective use of TV narrative strategies. In particular it details
how various strands of (Western) modernity underpin major
discourses about China. The book will be valuable to the
understanding of how China was perceived in the West during one of
the most dramatic moments in modern history.
