    The Rural Video Influencers in China: on the New Edge of Urbanization

    THE RURAL VIDEO INFLUENCERS IN CHINA: ON THE NEW EDGE OF URBANIZATION A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Xinwen Zhang May 2020 © 2020 Xinwen Zhang ABSTRACT On the new media platforms in China, especially the video platforms, some rural content has become quite influential, which is, to some extent, inconsistent with people's impression of the vulnerable position of rural areas the urban-rural inequality. This thesis studied some of the most popular the rural content producers with the close reading of their videos, explaining how they frame themselves and their artworks and what kind of "rurality" is performed to the audiences. While the audience might assign them as rural figures, these people were on the edge of the urban and the rural as they had a shared history as some people who were from the rural areas, spent a period of their lives as migrant workers, and finally became video influencers performing some kind of rural lifestyle. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Xinwen Zhang was born in Shenyang, China, and spent the first 18 years of her life there. Then, she went to Sun Yat-sen University and entered Boya college, which sets no determined major and emphasizes on text close reading to explore potential for students. She finally chose anthropology as the major and researched the breakfast stalls in New Phoenix Village. She went to the village and had close contact with the migrant workers running breakfast stalls and people at breakfast, mainly focusing on the population identification, identity cognition, and community construction of the migrant population as well as their dilemma.

    —————————————————— Analysis of ByteDance with a close look on Douyin / TikTok —————————————————— Author: Xiaoye SHI Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Didier SORNETTE A thesis submitted to the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ) in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Management, Technology and Economics June 2019 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Didier Sornette, who has kindly given me countless guidance and advice throughout the Master thesis. I appreciate the opportunity to work on this interesting topic under the Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks and is deeply grateful for all the help received along the process. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my parents, who have been supportive and encouraging under all circumstances. Without them, I would not be able to become the person I am today. - 2 - Abstract In 2018, ByteDance, a young Internet company with only 6 years of history, broke out on various news headlines as the highest valued unicorn. With the acquisitions of musical.ly and Flipgram, the company’s flagship product Douyin strikes to develop its global presence under the name TikTok. This thesis analyzed Douyin’s historical growth and revenue model. As a main revenue driver, future user growth is predicted and calibrated by extending the methodology proposed in earlier studies by Cauwels and Sornette. We considered three growth scenarios – base, high and extreme, and estimated Douyin as well as ByteDance’s value based on comparable company analysis. ByteDance’s key performance metrics and multiples were compared with four other firms in the similar industry, Facebook, Weibo, Momo and iQIYI.

    China (Includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) 2018 Human Rights Report

    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the CCP Central Committee’s 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) and its seven-member Standing Committee. Xi Jinping continued to hold the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. Civilian authorities maintained control of security forces. During the year the government significantly intensified its campaign of mass detention of members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang). Authorities were reported to have arbitrarily detained 800,000 to possibly more than two million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslims in internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities. Government officials claimed the camps were needed to combat terrorism, separatism, and extremism. International media, human rights organizations, and former detainees reported security officials in the camps abused, tortured, and killed some detainees. Human rights issues included arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; political prisoners;

    Juha Mikkola THE CHINESE MOBILE GAME MARKET Thesis Kajaani University of Applied Sciences School of Natural Sciences Business Information Technology 04.11.2014 THESIS ABSTRACT School Degree Programme School of Natural Sciences Business Information Technology Author(s) Juha Mikkola Title The Chinese Mobile Game Market vaihtoehtisetOptional Professiona l Studies Supervisor(s) Game Production and Business Veli-Pekka Piirainen Commissioned by - Date Total Number of Pages and Appendices 04.11.2014 60 Only a few Western companies have thus far succeeded in the Chinese mobile game market. Many companies do not even attempt entering the market because it is regarded as too difficult and not enough information is availa- ble. Yet a successfully launched hit mobile game has the potential generate several hundred thousand dollars per day from China alone. The goal of this thesis is to present comprehensive information on all key aspects of the Chinese market, specifically from the point of view of a Western game company planning to bring their mobile game(s) to China. Sources utilized for this thesis include latest reports and publications from the industry, as well as practical experiences shared by industry veterans in the form of blogs, articles and talks. The factors one should consider when launching and operating a game in China, as well as the challenges and possible solutions to them are looked into. The greatest challenge is to find a strong and trustworthy local part- ner. A partner is vital when it comes to, for example, battling piracy or building the necessary connections for operating a game. The massively popular instant messaging app WeChat, by Chinese internet service giant Ten- cent, is one of the most important elements to take into account, as it can aid tremendously in acquiring users.

But there are few industries where that 's actually the case. o e.g. mass deployment of machine vision for medical diagnosis is not blocked by the tech. o There are relatively few "core tech businesses" that compete in markets where cutting edge technology is the primary axis of competition and barrier to entry (e.g. Intel, Nvidia, Waymo, ) • It is more useful to understand most of these companies as "tech-enabled businesses". o e.g. Facebook, Uber, Linkedin, and Airbnb derive their power from network effects.
