About this ebook

This book offers a clear and authoritative analysis of Chinese television’s evolution through global integration. Drawing on classical and contemporary globalization theories, it reveals how state strategy, market reform and transnational forces have negotiated China’s distinctive media transformation. Essential reading for media scholars, policymakers and professionals engaged with China’s reform and opening-up trajectory.

By placing these developments within broader debates on Globalization 2.0 and the growing influence of the Global South, the book offers a timely and sophisticated analysis of Chinese television. A major contribution to global media studies, Chinese communication research, and political economy.

Terhi Rantanen, Professor of Global Media and Communications, LSE
