Up until now, scholars and authors have overlooked how the enormous social and economic changes that China has undergone since economic reform has affected media control. This dissertation explores how such changes influence media control in China. It first examines the Chinese political economy and then focuses on studying China‟s media, which has gone through considerable change since economic reform. Previously, Party ideological indoctrination and violent suppression were rampant. Today‟s situation, however, could be characterized as indoctrination mingled with entertainment or “indoctritainment” (Sun 2002), and repression with an absence of full freedom of the media. I argue that “repressive state capitalism” has propelled economic development in China, particularly since 1989. In the reform era, repression coexists with economic development and is actually productive to Chinese economic growth because repression has both ensured state intervention in the economy and safeguarded a stable environment that is pivotal to the flourishing of economic activities. Using this political economic approach, I propose a political economic theory of “marketizing media control” to account for effective media control after media marketization, beginning with an empirical investigation of the traditional media and ending with an investigation of the new media in China. In short, repressive state capitalism is my contribution to political economic theory and marketizing media control is my contribution to Chinese media politics. iii Table of Contents Supervisory Committee…………………………………………………………………. ii Abstract………………………………………………………………………………….. iii Table of Contents………………………………………………………………………... iv List of Abbreviations………………………...……………………………..…………… vi Acknowledgement………………………………………………………………………. vii Dedication……………………………………………………………………………….. xi Chapter One: Introduction……………………………………………………………….. 1 The Puzzle…………………………………………………………………………. 1 The Particular Puzzle……………………………………………………………… 14 Methods…………………………………………………………………………… 23 The Structure. ……………………………………………………………………... 32 Chapter Two: Repressive State Capitalism……………………………………………… 34 Literature Review of Chinese Political Economy………………………………… 34 Repressive State Capitalism………………………………………………………. 51 Chapter Three: Theoretical Framework………………………..………………………... 71 Literature Review of Chinese Media Politics……………………………………... 71 Chinese Political Economy………………………………………………………... 94 -Why Has Repressive State Capitalism Ensured Economic Growth in China?....... 97 Media Marketization………………………………………………………………. 140 A Theory of Media Control: Marketizing Media Control.………………….……… 143 Chapter Four: China‟s Media Development Since 1949 156 -A Historical Institutional Approach……………………………………..

My primary school from grade one to six was taught only by a peasant teacher of our village, but I passed the university entrance examination with excellent grades and was admitted by the East-China Petroleum University in Shandong Province (the name was eventually changed to Petroleum University) in 1982. Later, I entered the Masters program of Geophysics at Petroleum University in Beijing in 1986 and was conferred a Master of Engineering days after the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. I was not interested in politics until the 1989 Tiananmen Student Movement began on April 15, 1989, when we (students) listened to the news of Hu Yaobang‟s death (then General Secretary of the Communist Party). At the time, I was woken up by what I saw and what I heard. When I had participated in sit-ins in the Tiananmen Square at night during this period of time, a fellow student told me that “the Chinese political system raises a pig (a corrupt official in his eyes) and then kills it, and then it raises and kills another pig.” His metaphor opened up my mind. I began to wonder why it is the case in China, and I have been interested in Chinese politics since then. After the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre happened, this violent event and my own experience in the student movement forced me to consider what would end the vicious cycle of Chinese politics from massive and nationwide wars to totalitarianism or despotism and then back to wars again when the regime collapses. My answer is democracy as many other democracy advocates would agree. However, I realized that I needed to live in a democracy to see how democracies ensure smooth transitions of government, curb rampant corruption, and safeguard the people‟s

  • How China's Leaders Think: the Inside Story of China's Past, Current
    bindex.indd 540 3/14/11 3:26:49 PM China’s development, at least in part, is driven by patriotism and pride. The Chinese people have made great contributions to world civilization. Our commitment and determination is rooted in our historic and national pride. It’s fair to say that we have achieved some successes, [nevertheless] we should have a cautious appraisal of our accomplishments. We should never overestimate our accomplish- ments or indulge ourselves in our achievements. We need to assess ourselves objectively. [and aspire to] our next higher goal. [which is] a persistent and unremitting process. Xi Jinping Politburo Standing Committee member In the face of complex and ever-changing international and domes- tic environments, the Chinese Government promptly and decisively adjusted our macroeconomic policies and launched a comprehensive stimulus package to ensure stable and rapid economic growth. We increased government spending and public investments and imple- mented structural tax reductions. Balancing short-term and long- term strategic perspectives, we are promoting industrial restructuring and technological innovation, and using principles of reform to solve problems of development. Li Keqiang Politburo Standing Committee member I am now serving my second term in the Politburo. President Hu Jintao’s character is modest and low profile. we all have the high- est respect and admiration for him—for his leadership, perspicacity and moral convictions. Under his leadership, complex problems can all get resolved. It takes vision to avoid major conflicts in soci- ety. Income disparities, unemployment, bureaucracy and corruption could cause instability. This is the Party’s most severe test.

  • Online Corruption-Reporting, Internet Censorship, and the Limits of Responsive Authoritarianism
    Online Corruption-Reporting, Internet Censorship, and the Limits of Responsive Authoritarianism by Jack Hoskins BA, University of Victoria, 2015 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of History © Jack Hoskins, 2017 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Online Corruption Reporting, Internet Censorship, and the Limits of Responsive Authoritarianism by Jack Hoskins BA, University of Victoria, 2015 Supervisory Committee Dr. Guoguang Wu (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Colin Bennett (Department of Political Science) Outside Member iii Abstract This thesis traces the development of the Chinese government’s attempts to solicit corruption reports from citizens via online platforms such as websites and smartphone applications. It argues that this endeavour has proven largely unsuccessful, and what success it has enjoyed is not sustainable. The reason for this failure is that prospective complainants are offered little incentive to report corruption via official channels. Complaints on social media require less effort and are more likely to lead to investigations than complaints delivered straight to the government, though neither channel is particularly effective. The regime’s concern for social stability has led to widespread censorship of corruption discussion on social media, as well as a slew of laws and regulations banning the behaviour. Though it is difficult to predict what the long- term results of these policies will be, it seems likely that the regime’s ability to collect corruption data will remain limited.

    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R margins 0.9") by Lynn White This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of the seminars WWS 576a/Pol. 536 on "Chinese Development" and Pol. 535 on "Chinese Politics," as well as the undergraduate lecture course, Pol. 362; --to provide graduate students with a list that can help their study for comprehensive exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not too much should be made of this, because some such books may be too old for students' purposes or the subjects may not be central to present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan. Students with specific research topics should definitely meet Laird Klingler, who is WWS Librarian and the world's most constructive wizard. This list cannot cover articles, but computer databases can. Rosemary Little and Mary George at Firestone are also enormously helpful. Especially for materials in Chinese, so is Martin Heijdra in Gest Library (Palmer Hall; enter up the staircase near the "hyphen" with Jones Hall). Other local resources are at institutes run by Chen Yizi and Liu Binyan (for current numbers, ask at EAS, 8-4276). Professional bibliographers are the most neglected major academic resource at Princeton.

Im Prozess der Promotion konnte ich in vielerlei Hinsicht von seiner Beratung im fachlichen wie sprachlichen profitieren. Ein besonderer Dank gilt auch Herrn Professor Maximilian Mayer. Ich kann mich noch an die Tage und Nächte erinnern, in denen wir nicht nur über den Inhalt dieser Dissertation, sondern auch über europäische Politik, China und die Beziehungen zwischen Technologie, Gesellschaft und Mensch diskutierten. Weiter danke ich Herrn Professor Tilman Mayer für die einwandfreie Organisation und Leitung des Prüfungsausschusses, der mir maßgebliche Ratschläge für die Dissertation geben konnte. Dabei bin ich auch Herrn Professor Christoph Antweiler für seine Teilnahme am Prüfungsaus- schuss dankbar. Er konnte wertvolle Fragen aufwerfen, die einen besonderen Mehrwert für meine Forschung dargestellt haben. Ein besonderer Dank geht auch an Herrn Tim Wenniges und die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, die mich vor allem auch in den schwierigen Phasen meiner Dissertation unterstützten. Ohne sie hätte wohl die Gefahr bestanden, den Promotionsprozess aufzugeben.
