"Alongside China’s recent ever greater efforts to become a more and more influential player in the global arena, this collection certainly serves as an enlightening and thoughtful study on why and how China’s media go global. Consisting of contributions from many established communication scholars and well-known media practitioners in China, this book is no doubt a an excellent, very comprehensive and up to date, and truly resourceful tool for readers to better understand the complexity of the interplay of China’s media and politics/ideology and its unique media system and practice."Professor Junhao Hong, State University of New York at Buffalo"This collection of articles on Chinese media in the global context will be invaluable to anyone researching or teaching about contemporary China, international communication, and international relations more generally. The editors have gathered a wide range of material from leading experts in China and elsewhere that is both empirically rich and intellectually stimulating."Colin Sparks, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong"I am thrilled to witness that three leading scholars from India, China and Britain joined hands in accomplishing this ground-breaking volume. The day when all voices from communities of different value systems, political beliefs and knowledge can be heard through various media platforms which are free from Western agenda-setters, is the day when people around the world attain their freedom of expression and truthful news."
