Broadcasting policy, creative compliance and the myth of civil society in China
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 11-2001
DOI: 10.1177/016344301023006006
Abstract: This article looks at arguments framing civil society debates and questions the usefulness of civil society models in understanding how media policy is made and implemented in China. The key argument is that viewing the state-society relationship in China through a Western optic obviates the distinctive differences between the autonomous civil society of liberal democracies and Chinese social relations. This does not mean that civil society is a redundant concept. It can be usefully applied to describe economically driven political and social change in China. However, its capacity to explain how cultural and media policy is formulated is limited.

Television’s new engines
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 16-01-2008
Abstract: Internationalization is a key to the success of television formats. To understand format trade it is necessary to draw out distinctions between formats and genre. Engines— innovations in programming engineered by format devisors—allow formats to regenerate and hybridize across genres. The core principle of formats, however, is the practice of franchising. Causal relations can be established between formats, engines, and the tradability of television culture. The article shows how formats have impacted platforms, markets, labor, audiences, and distribution of TV content.

From made in China to created in China
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 09-2006
Abstract: This article provides a macro-perspective on China's repositioning in the global and regional cultural economy, and in doing so questions the structural impact of past practices on future export aspirations. Whereas most accounts of China's media are predicated on top-down control models, the article proposes a media development framework appropriate to China' s aspirations in the first decade of the twenty-first century. The framework is most relevant to those creative content industries in which sunk costs – that is, one-off costs of creative content development – are more than 50 percent of total outlay. Starting from a low base – and constrained by a legacy of state censorship and widespread intellectual property abuse – China aspires to move from ‘made in China’ to ‘created in China’.
When push comes to nudge: a Chinese digital civilisation in-the-making
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 20-09-2019
Abstract: China’s emergence as a technological power is now unquestioned. Since the early 2000s, the Chinese government has invested heavily in information and communication technology. Rather than seeing the internet as a challenge to its hegemony, the government has allowed leading communications companies to offer new digital services, many of which enhance peoples’ lifestyles, while others allow people to express their loyalty to the nation. The Party-state has in the process found a new solution to asserting control. This article investigates the concept of a ‘digital civilisation’, in particular how civilisational discourses associated with the Party-state since the beginning of the economic reforms have found new applications in online technologies. It draws on the ancient metaphor of flood control to show how behaviour is redirected, or nudged, towards digital lifestyle choices. Ex les discussed include the multiplicity of QR codes, mobile payments, the social credit system, the Strong Nation ( xuexi qiangguo) app and the Huawei Harmony operating system (OS).
Once were Peripheral: Creating Media Capacity in East Asia
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 11-2006
Abstract: This article considers new approaches to media industry development and the field of Asian media studies. It argues that new patterns of integration have emerged within the global media economy. The rise of East Asian ‘newcomers’ such as South Korea, Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China has come about from a combination of institutional realignment and strategic (often state-assisted) responses to regional industrial growth. The article proposes a five-part framework of international exchange that encapsulates challenges confronting mid-level markets that are aspiring to target international content markets. The framework is also a critique of the US-centric approaches that argue that global integration effects are normatively disadvantageous to ‘peripheral’ industries and societies.

Publisher: IGI Global
Date: 2008
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-60566-152-0.CH026
Abstract: This chapter examines the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in urban China, focusing mainly on their impact on social life. The key question raised by this study is how the Internet and mobile technologies are affecting the way people make use of urban space. The chapter begins with some background to China’s emergence as a connected nation. It then looks at common use of web-based and mobile phone technologies, particularly bulletin boards, SMS and instant messaging. The chapter then presents findings of recent research that illustrates communitarian relationships that are enabled by mobility and the use of technologies. Finally, these findings are contextualized in the idea of the City 2.0 in China.
East Asian audio-visual collaboration and the global expansion of Chinese media
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 11-04-2016
Abstract: This article investigates the significant re-orientation of audio-visual production in East Asia over the last few years brought about by the rise of China, beginning with the proposition that unprecedented change is occurring in East Asian media production. While the ‘Sinophone world’ has been the locus of critical analysis in the past, all eyes are now focused on China. Flows of knowledge, expertise and content are becoming significant in this mediascape, yet this dimension has been overlooked by most scholarship in the field. Conceptual and theoretical frameworks based on cross-border consumption of East Asian content require urgent revision. This article shows how media collaborations are changing global media practice and East Asian media flows through a variety of contemporary international collaborations, as well as relevant policy frameworks that impact, positively or negatively, productions by international partners working in film, television and online and mobile video content.

Struggling to be more visible: Female digital creative entrepreneurs in China
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 12-2020
Abstract: Entrepreneurs have become the driving force of China’s economy over the past few decades. With a rapid surge in the growth of digital platforms, and the success of China’s platforms outside China, the aspiration to be entrepreneurial is recognized and celebrated. Increasingly, women are benefitting from this entrepreneurial fever. However, behind the increasing number of emerging women digital entrepreneurs, is the struggle to gain recognition. Drawing on cases studies of female digital startups, the article investigates some of the dilemmas faced when women strive to develop entrepreneurial identities. The article problematizes distinctions between the entrepreneur in a general sense, the creative entrepreneur, and female creative entrepreneurs. Whereas an entrepreneur in China is often conflated with a business owner, the identity of the creative entrepreneur is more precarious and unstable. The article finds that besides the difficulty to sustain a creative-based entrepreneurial identity, the hyper-competitive and masculinist fields of digital entrepreneurship and technical fields, combined with traditional gender roles and family responsibility, results in a devaluation of female entrepreneurship.

Between formal and informal: The shakeout in China's online video industry
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 09-2013
Abstract: While a rich body of literature in television and film studies and media policy studies has tended to focus on the media activities in the formal sector, we know much less about informal media activities, their influence on state policies, as well as the dynamics between the formal and the informal sectors. This article examines these issues with reference to a particularly revealing period following a large-scale government crackdown on peer-to-peer video-sharing sites in China in 2008. By analysing the aim and consequences of the state action, we point to the counter-productive effects in terms of cultural loss and the resurgence of offline piracy we show the positive impact on forcing the informal into the formal sector, and pressuring the latter to innovate. Meanwhile, increasing rapprochement between professional and user-created content is leading to a new relationship between formal and informal sectors. This case demonstrates the importance of considering the dynamic relationship between the two sectors. It also offers compelling evidence of the role of the informal sector in engendering state action, which in turn impacts on the co-evolution of formal and informal sectors.

Going global or going nowhere? Chinese media in a time of flux
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 27-03-2016
Abstract: This article focuses on how Chinese media industries have sought to expand into new territories, identifying several mechanisms by which Chinese cultural and media products are traded and consumed: namely finished content, co-productions, formats and online platforms. The article also considers the value of overseas location shooting for domestic programmes and acquisition of international media assets. The key idea that is discussed in regards to China’s outward-bound trade mission is know-how. In respect to media production, producers tend to opt for risk avoidance rather than creative exploration. Consequently, Chinese producers, investors and practitioners are deficient in knowledge of international markets and audience perceptions because the government has chosen to intervene, select and guide Chinese products. The article suggests this is gradually changing.

DOI: 10.1177/136787799900200205
Abstract: This paper examines the manner by which the Chinese Communist Party has moved to allow cultural producers more autonomy. I argue that such a shift in government rationality needs to be viewed as part of wider reform programmes and strategies intended to promote ersity and make institutions more accountable and efficient. The interface between culture and the market in contemporary China is often described as a tension between commercialism and propaganda, or simply a trend towards pluralism, but with ‘Chinese characteristics’. I argue that it is more useful to view the relations between culture and government as accommodation and compromise. Cultural policy statements are often deliberately ambiguous and relations between officials and producers are continually being redefined. I suggest that a Foucauldian notion of governmentality can provide the methodological tools to understand the complexity of quasi-commercialized culture in China. A reading of cultural policy statements pertaining to television drama production will illustrate my argument.
