China

This book focuses on Chinas media diplomacy and its interplay with a range of international conflicts. It assesses the representation and framing of China, as well as the perception and reception of Chinas media communication in relation to various crises and conflicts. Including detailed analyses of many cases, it highlights the complex, fluid and dynamic relationship between media and conflict, and discusses how this both exemplifies and also affects Chinas relations with the outside world. In addition, in contrast to most existing studies of mediatized conflict in the digital age, it provides a very valuable non-Western perspective.
