Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora Summary

Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora: Rethinking Transnationalism by Wanning Sun

The rise of China has brought about a dramatic increase in the rate of migration from mainland China. At the same time, the Chinese government has embarked on a full-scale push for the internationalisation of Chinese media and culture. Media and communication have therefore become crucial factors in shaping the increasingly fraught politics of transnational Chinese communities. This book explores the changing nature of these communities, and reveals their dynamic and complex relationship to the media in a range of countries worldwide. Overall, the book highlights a number of ways in which China's going global policy interacts with other factors in significantly reshaping the content and contours of the diasporic Chinese media landscape. In doing so, this book constitutes a major rethinking of Chinese transnationalism in the twenty-first century.

Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora Reviews

In this sequel to Media and the Chinese Diaspora (5th ed., 2006), coeditors Sun (Univ. of Technology, Sydney) and Sinclair (Univ. of Melbourne) investigate the changes in information technologies that have shaped the communication behaviors of Chinese people across the diaspora. Though mainland China endeavors to change its global image, how it exercises its soft power has affected historical relationships with the diaspora in both subtle and obvious manners.
