Description:
This book examines China's digital economy and its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Drawing on the political economy of the media, industry analysis, platform studies and cultural policy studies, the book shows that China's commercial digital platforms are increasingly recognized outside China and can disseminate Chinese culture more effectively than government-supported media.
Review Quotes:
"A book length study of China's internet+ and its increasing influence through cultural and media content on social media apps in the Asia-Pacific region. The authors' thorough understanding of the digital development in China and their empirically rich, conceptually solid study on China's influence in the world make the book a most thought-provoking and rewarding read." - Dr Xiaoling Zhang, Chair Professor in Creative Industry, School of International Communications, University of Nottingham Ningbo China
