Abstract

The introductory chapter lays out the key theoretical propositions that inform the rest of the book. It also challenges some of the conventional frameworks for analyzing media and communication in China. In addition to highlighting the continued relevance of China’s socialist history in understanding the present as well as imagining the future, I also advocate a multidimensional view of power, a broader understanding of politics and an appreciation of mediation as a dialectical process. The chapter ends with an explanation of the structure of the book.

Nächstes Kapitel The Chinese State: Moving Left? Moving Right? or Depoliticized?

Deng came up with this famous saying to convey a highly pragmatic approach: black cat or white cat—as long as it catches the mouse it is a good cat.

Mao identified these as the distinctions between the rural and the urban, industry and agriculture, and physical and mental labor.
