Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora - Bog

The rise of China has brought about both an increase in the number of and a change in the demographic characteristics of Chinese-language-speaking migrants. At the same time the Chinese government has implemented a stronger "going global" policy, pushing for the internationalisation of Chinese media and culture. This book explores the nature of Chinese communities and their relationship to the media in a range of countries worldwide. Overall, the book demonstrates that despite Chinäs assertive "going global" media push, diasporic Chinese communities are being further decentralised and refashioned in multiple and sometimes contradictory ways.
