Propaganda, Media, and Nationalism in Mainland China and Hong Kong gives a clear and insightful introduction to the nature of media in China and Hong Kong and presents a conceptual discussion of propaganda. It presents two case studies of Chinese media control including the presentation of Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Tibet and the misrepresentation of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. This book also provides an important in-depth discussion of the battle between state propaganda and counter-propaganda in open societies, which can render them vulnerable to foreign governments, undermine civic society, and create dangerous polarization, as in the case of Hong Kong’s response to state media.

Propaganda, Media, and Nationalism in Mainland China and Hong Kong presents a series of fine grained empirical analyses of theoretically chosen propaganda campaigns waged by the Mainland Chinese Government which clearly indicate the vastly different consequences such campaigns can achieve depending upon their political context. While the campaigns are quite effective on the mainland which lacks alternative media, they are ineffective in Democratic Hong Kong where independent media sources still thrive. The research starkly illustrates the overwhelming power of propaganda in modern authoritarian states.
