Abstract

This chapter seeks to explicate cross-border journalism in China in regard to its production, dissemination, reception, and impact. China’s media system, as a form of networked authoritarianism, is a combination of advanced information technologies and traditional media under the strict control of the Chinese Communist Party. The effective blocking of news and information from outside China and the huge output of official news about itself by its propaganda machine have served to make it a case of unidirectional news flow. In the general absence of alternative information, the Chinese people’s understanding of the world is susceptible to the influence of nationalistic party-state propaganda policies. Meanwhile, the world’s media have to work extraordinarily hard in order to have a deeper understanding of China.
