    Climate Change FILLING THE FINANCING GAP Telling Our Story 57002_C1_6x2.indd 1 11/13/09 12:10:09 PM Message from the Executive Vice President and CEO The Private Sector and Climate Change Climate change cannot be managed without a strong engagement of the private sector. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change has estimated that more than 80 percent of investments required for climate change mitigation and adaptation will have to be privately fi nanced. Unless energy companies invest in renewables, unless industry and transport companies invest in more effi cient technologies, unless agribusiness companies plant sustainably, there will be no meaningful curbing of carbon emissions. Private initiative is critical as well in the development and dissemination of new climate-friendly technologies, which will be key to managing climate change at a reasonable cost. The good news is that there is a strong business case for climate investment. This is already well known to a number of companies that have signifi cantly adapted their business strategies to tap into climate opportunities. The other good news is that the money is there. Pension funds alone manage roughly $20 trillion worth of retirement savings globally. These investors and others are increasingly aware that sustainable business is good business over the long run. To support this effort in emerging markets, IFC over the last 10 years Cover Photo: Solar power installation, Xinjiang province, China. 57002_C1_6x2.indd 1 11/13/09 12:10:09 PM has been developing new business models and fi nancing instruments for clean energy, energy effi ciency, and cleaner production, setting and improving environmental and social standards for the private sector, leveraging labor and social capital, and preventing the loss of biodiversity.

  • Press Release
    Press Release China’s hit reality show ‘Sing My Song’ back at The Venetian Macao Singer-songwriters from season 1 and 2 and celebrity mentors took to the stage of the Cotai Arena (Macao, March 19, 2015) – With The Venetian® Macao as the main sponsor, smash hit reality TV talent show “Sing My Song” returned to The Venetian® Macao’s Cotai Arena Thursday night to film "SONGS OF SPRING" 2015 SING MY SONG WORLD TOUR – MACAO. The concert which featured 16 contestants and two celebrity mentors will be broadcast on CCTV-3. The Macao concert is also the opening show of Sing My Song World Tour in 2015. Produced by Star China International Media Co. Ltd. and Starry Productions, “Sing My Song” has somewhat reinvented the musical reality genre by requiring contestants to perform their own compositions rather than covering other artists’ songs. The celebrity mentors on the night were renowned singer-song writer Tanya Chua and accomplished singer Emil Chow. The duo took the stage with the top 16 singer-songwriters from the studio-based talent show to perform some of their original songs as well as cover versions of some classic tunes such as “Missing is a kind of disease” and “Red high heel.” The very vocal crowd was absolutely thrilled by the wonderful performance. This reality TV series has revitalized the Chinese music industry and brought together the most talented singer-songwriters from China and abroad, including Singapore and the United States. The singer-songwriters who appeared as part of Sing My Song 2015 Macao Concert were all contestants from season 1 and 2 of the show.

    Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms in a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show Miaowen Zhou Master’s Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 - 60 Credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2015 © Miaowen Zhou 2015 Are You a Good Chinese Musician? The Ritual Transmission of Social Norms of a Chinese Reality Music Talent Show http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo II Abstract The sensational success of a Chinese reality music talent show, Super Girls’ Voice (SGV), in 2005 not only crowned many unknown Chinese girls/women with the hail of celebrity overnight, but also caused hot debates on many subjects including whether the show triggered cultural, even political democracy in China. 10 years have passed and China is in another heyday of reality music talent shows. However, the picture differs from before. For instance, not everybody can take part in it anymore. And the state television China Central Television (CCTV) joined the competition for market share. It actually became a competitive player of “reality” by claiming to find the best original and creative Chinese musicians whose voices CCTV previously avoided or oppressed. In this thesis, I will examine one CCTV show, The Song of China (SOC), in order to examine what the norms of good Chinese music and musicians are in the context of reality music talent shows. My work will hopefully give you some insights into the characteristics and the wider social and political influences of such reality music talent shows in the post-SGV era.

  • The Voice of China: Interactive Television and Participatory Audiences in Mainland China
    The Voice of China: Interactive Television and Participatory Audiences in Mainland China Xin Yao Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies March 2017 ©This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived there from, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract In 2012, the most popular reality TV show in China was The Voice of China (TVoC). It is an adaptation of The Voice of Holland, the format of which has been traded to many countries. Unlike its international versions, audiences cannot vote in TVoC due to government regulations. This research focuses on audience engagement with TVoC (2012), in light of this crucial difference. To investigate how audiences engage and make meanings with the show, this thesis is the first study approaches audience engagement in China by examining the tensions between government media policies, industry strategies and audience reception. Building on existing literature on media convergence and participatory culture in the West, this thesis argues that Internet technologies alongside social media enable and stimulate individual critical thinking and creativities which resist structural constraints such as censorship and commercialisation. Although direct online political participation is censored in China, audiences express and negotiate power as ways to construct political values. These online engagements bring new perspectives to understand participatory culture and ‘empowerment’ of audiences. Using political economy frameworks, this thesis highlights the power of government media policies in shaping TV industry and media content.
