(I) 2 CONTEMPORARY ASIAN STUDIES SERIES PREFACE For the last 20 years or so, the Chinese language d~ily newspa­ per Cankao Xiaoxi (hereafter referred to as Reference News) has been the cause of amazement and curiosity among Western corre­ spondents in Peking as well as Western scholars studying the polit­ ical system of the People's Republic of China. While the journalists are mainly interested in finding out whether one of their reports or commentaries was translated and reprinted in Reference News, the main obstacle for scholarly research on the function and purpose of this newspaper has been the lack of sufficient first-hand material. The present study is based on more than 200 consecutive issues of the Reference News, starting with August 1, 1981 and ending with March 11, 1982. The available material is not only fairly compre­ hensive, but also is relatively recent so as to allow some basic conclu­ sions on the paper's present purpose and function. The analysis will also shed some light on the methods by which the Reference News editors seek to achieve their objectives. In view of the immense variety of topics covered in the copies available-ranging from national and international politics to social and scientific affairs, culture, sports as well as news of a more enter­ taining character, the study is limited to certain outstanding events dealt with in the Reference News. But which topics are best suited to lay bare the paper's purpose and function? Which topic of the paper's coverage would be the most promis­ ing? No doubt, it would be interesting to analyze its coverage of the acute crisis of legitimacy in Poland which reached a dangerous cli­ max in the period under survey. Just as interesting would be an analysis of what the Reference News readership learned about other countries, for instance the Soviet Union or the United States. How­ ever, an analysis of these topics would leave us with a problem that we are not yet in a position to solve, namely what the PRC reader­ ship thinks of these questions. One can be sure that they certainly know literally nothing about the structure and mechanisms of West­ em political systems. What idea do PRC citizens have of a parlia­ ment? Of a political opposition? Do they think of the latter as of some sort of counter-revolutionary faction? Do PRC citizens realize the difference between Western trade-unions and their own institu­ tions with the same name? When I finally decided to limit the scope of the present study to an analysis of the Reference News coverage on the People's Republic of China, it was partly to avoid these and related uncertainties. Nev­ ertheless, the problem that remains is one of principle which has to CANKAO XlAOXI 3 be kept in mind when reading this study. We do not know what idea Reference News readers have of Western democracies and their insti­ tutions, and consequently we do not know how reports from Western sources are reflected in the minds of PRC citizens. Would they as­ sume, for example, that news agencies such as UPI, AP, Reuters, etc., are-like the Xinhua News Agency-state-owned propoganda tools? What idea do readers of the Reference News have of the sig­ nificance of news on the PRC in the Western press? The main reason for the decision to focus on the PRC coverage of the Reference News w~s that this topic makes up the majority of the paper's reprints on politics. No other single nation is so fre­ quently referred to as Communist China. One may assume, there­ fore, that this part of the paper might even be the raison-d'etre of its publication. Apart from this, there is still the amazingly great inter­ est that PRC cadres, Communist or not, have in the outside world's opinion of their country. Everybody who is concerned with so­ called classified (neibu--internal) PRC materials, will sooner or later face the peculiarity that a considerable part of their space is devoted to translations of foreign reports on Communist China. The Refer­ ence News readership, no doubt, shares this narcissist tendency, and related reprints are indeed read with far more interest than many others. Finally, the PRC coverage is, of course, the politically most sensitive part of the paper. The less CPC interests are affected, the more objectivity can be expected from the related coverage. There­ fore, the final clue as to the role of the Reference News in the Com­ munist propaganda system is mainly to be found in its PRC coverage. The stability of CPC rule in mainland China is largely a func­ tion of how efficient the propaganda is. In this connection, further research on the Reference News will prove to be highly promising. Its function in stabilizing the Communist regime should be studied by analyzing its development in relation to the history of PRC do­ mestic politics. It would be unrenouncable, however, to get an idea of what the several millions of the paper's readership think of its content. I thank Professor Hungdah Chiu and Professor Ying-Mao Kau for their support of this study as well as for their critical suggestions. Berlin, February 1984 Jorg-Meinhard Rudolph 4 CONTEMPORARY ASIAN STUDIES SERIES 1. Foreign News in Communist Society-The Point of Departure On December 7, 1981, the Chinese language daily newspaper Cankao Xiaoxi, (Reference News), published an advertisement for subscriptions in 1982. In the text, the paper was introduced as follows: Subscriptions to the Reference News Welcome. The Reference News is a comprehensive internal publica­ tion that is read by domestic cadres and intellectuals on all fronts. Every day and fairly fast, the Reference News carries a selection of news and commentaries from the press and news agencies of all countries; it reports all-round and cur­ rent news on politics, military affairs, economics, educa­ tion, science and technology, hygiene, sports, etc. from all countries and regions of the world, as well as news from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It broadens the outlook of the readers and their understanding and knowledge of the world. The Reference News will further expand its coverage and will report more comprehensively and currently on the situation in all regions of the world.

F. LEE ABSTRACT: Most observers argued that press freedom in Hong Kong has been declining continually over the past 15 years. This article examines the problem of press freedom from the perspective of the political economy of the media. According to conventional understanding, the Chinese government has exerted indirect influence over the Hong Kong media through co-opting media owners, most of whom were entrepreneurs with ample business interests in the mainland. At the same time, there were internal tensions within the political economic system. The latter opened up a space of resistance for media practitioners and thus helped the media system as a whole to maintain a degree of relative autonomy from the power centre. However, into the 2010s, the media landscape has undergone several significant changes, especially the worsening media business environment and the growth of digital media technologies.

On one hand, Hong Kong offers a case of media capture in an uncensored media sector and open market economy similar to those of Western industrialized democracies. Yet Hong Kong’s comparatively small size, close proximity, and broad economic exposure to the authoritarian markets and politics of neighboring Mainland China, which practices strict censorship, place unique pressures on Hong Kong’s nominally free press. Building on the literature on media and politics in Hong Kong post-handover and drawing on interviews with journalists in Hong Kong, this article examines the dynamics of media capture in Hong Kong. It highlights how corporate-owned legacy media outlets are increasingly deferential to the Beijing government’s news agenda, while social media is fostering alternative spaces for more skeptical and aggressive voices. This article develops a scholarly vocabulary to describe media capture from the perspective of local journalists and from the academic literature on media and power in Hong Kong and China since 1997.

  • Three Prominences1
    THE THREE PROMINENCES1 Yizhong Gu The political-aesthetic principle of the “three prominences” (san tuchu 三突出) was the formula foremost in governing proletarian literature and art during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) (hereafter CR). In May 1968, Yu Huiyong 于会泳 initially proposed and defined the principle in this way: Among all characters, give prominence to the positive characters; among the positive characters, give prominence to the main heroic characters; among the main characters, give prominence to the most important character, namely, the central character.2 As the main composer of the Revolutionary Model Plays, Yu Hui- yong had gone through a number of ups and downs in the official hierarchy before finally receiving favor from Jiang Qing 江青, wife of Mao Zedong. Yu collected plenty of Jiang Qing’s concrete but scat- tered directions on the Model Plays and tried to summarize them in an abstract and formulaic pronouncement. The principle of three prominances was supposed to be applicable to all the Model Plays and thus give guidance for the creation of future proletarian artworks. Summarizing the gist of Jiang’s instruction, Yu observed, “Comrade Jiang Qing lays strong emphasis on the characterization of heroic fig- ures,” and therefore, “according to Comrade Jiang Qing’s directions, we generalize the ‘three prominences’ as an important principle upon which to build and characterize figures.”3 1 This essay owes much to invaluable encouragement and instruction from Profes- sors Ban Wang of Stanford University, Tani Barlow of Rice University, and Yomi Braester of the University of Washington. 2 Yu Huiyong, “Rang wenyi wutai yongyuan chengwei xuanchuan maozedong sixiang de zhendi” (Let the stage of art be the everlasting front to propagate the thought of Mao Zedong), Wenhui Bao (Wenhui daily) (May 23, 1968).

  • New Foreign Policy Actors in China
    Stockholm InternatIonal Peace reSearch InStItute SIPrI Policy Paper new ForeIgn PolIcy new Foreign Policy actors in china 26 actorS In chIna September 2010 The dynamic transformation of Chinese society that has paralleled linda jakobson and dean knox changes in the international environment has had a direct impact on both the making and shaping of Chinese foreign policy. To understand the complex nature of these changes is of utmost importance to the international community in seeking China’s engagement and cooperation. Although much about China’s foreign policy decision making remains obscure, this Policy Paper make clear that it is possible to identify the interest groups vying for a voice in policy formulation and to explore their policy preferences. Uniquely informed by the authors’ access to individuals across the full range of Chinese foreign policy actors, this Policy Paper reveals a number of emergent trends, chief among them the changing face of China’s official decision-making apparatus and the direction that actors on the margins would like to see Chinese foreign policy take. linda Jakobson (Finland) is Director of the SIPRI China and Global Security Programme. She has lived and worked in China for over 15 years and is fluent in Chinese. She has written six books about China and has published extensively on China’s foreign policy, the Taiwan Strait, China’s energy security, and China’s policies on climate change and science and technology. Prior to joining SIPRI in 2009, Jakobson worked for 10 years for the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA), most recently as director of its China Programme.

In Media Commercialization and Authoritarian Rule in China,DanielaStockmannarguesthatthecon- sequences of media marketization depend on the institutional design of the state. In one-party regimes such as China, market-based media promote regime stability rather than destabilizing authoritarianism or bringing about democracy. By analyzing the Chinese media, Stockmann ties trends of market liberalism in China to other authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the post- Soviet region. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Chinese journalists and propaganda officials as well as more than 2,000 newspaper articles, experiments, and public opinion data sets, this book links censorship among journalists with patterns of media consumption and media’s effects on public opinion.
