  • How Chinese Television Found Its Way out of the Box
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5426–5443 1932–8036/20160005 Disconnecting, Connecting, and Reconnecting: How Chinese Television Found Its Way Out of the Box MICHAEL KEANE1 Curtin University, Australia The emergence of online platforms dispensing TV content in China has transformed conventional understandings of Chinese media. Online video companies have revitalized the Chinese media industry while throwing out challenges to the government. Three disruptive moments illustrate how Chinese television is regulated, distributed, and accessed: disconnecting, connecting, and reconnecting. I examine some of the leading online platforms and consider the growing power of Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent—known as the “kingmakers” of the Chinese Internet. I describe how the Internet has created an unprecedented transformation in China’s television industry and how “Internet television” is disrupting the formerly stable and heavily managed sector. Finally, the article explores how new technologies of distribution are allowing Chinese culture to internationalize and to “reconnect” with Chinese-speaking communities. Keywords: Internet television, television, China, digital disruption, soft power When James Lull published China Turned On: Television, Reform and Resistance in 1991, the People’s Republic of China was in the midst of an upsurge in media production, spurred on by economic reforms that allowed many millions of people to buy television receivers, then a much-desired consumer item. Lull (1991) depicts Chinese viewers gathered around the TV as a family unit, watching serial dramas. The television receiver is a rectangular box in the living room disseminating government messages and entertainment—mainly serial drama—to an enthralled audience. In the decades that followed, television evolved.
