  • Jamestown Foundation: How China's Government Is Attempting To
    Jamestown Foundation: How China’s Government is Attempting to Control Chinese Media in America By Mei Duzhe Four main tactics characterize the Chinese government’s effort to influence Chinese media in America: (1) the attempt to directly control newspapers, television stations, and radio stations through complete ownership or owning major shares; (2) the government’s use of economic ties to influence independent media who have business relations with China; (3) the purchasing of broadcast time and advertising space (or more) from existing independent media; and (4) the deployment of government personnel to work in independent media, achieving influence from within their ranks. The U.S. Census 2000 data reveal dramatic growth over the pa0st ten years in the Chinese American population. In these years the Chinese-American community has increased by 48 percent to over 2.4 million, making it the largest Asian ethnic group in the country. Notably, surveys have found that of this Chinese-American population, as many as 82.9 percent speak the Chinese language at home, with 60.4 percent professing that their English skills are limited (www.asianmediaguide.com). As one might expect, these people’s dependence on Chinese-language media is heavy. And to a significant degree it is these media, as made available in the United States, that determine the worldview of many Chinese-Americans living in the States. Depictions of the democratic process, the rule of law, human rights and other American concepts come to the Chinese-American filtered through Chinese-language media. The content and nature of Chinese-language media (hereafter “Chinese media”) in America thus deserves greater scrutiny.

  • Heritage Appraisal of Lin Fa Temple Lin Fa Kung Street West, Tai Hang, Hong Kong
    Annex A Heritage Appraisal of Lin Fa Temple Lin Fa Kung Street West, Tai Hang, Hong Kong Lin Fa Temple (蓮花宮), literally means temple of lotus, Historical on Lin Fa Kung Street West, Tai Hang was probably constructed in Interest 18631 for the worship of Kwun Yam (觀音), the Goddess of Mercy, or the Chinese reincarnation of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara2. It is believed that Lin Fa Temple was once in the ownership of a family surnamed Tsang (曾). It was located on a hill slope facing the sea with the nearby old Tai Hang village to its west. There was an old temple bell bearing the dating of the twelfth lunar month of the 3rd year of Tongzhi (同治) reign (i.e. 1865). Since 1975, Lin Fa Temple has been put under the management of the Chinese Temples Committee. Apart from the main deity Kwun Yam, the temple is also dedicated to other deities including Tai Sui (太歲), God of Wealth (財神), Wei Tuo (韋馬犬) and Fook Tak (福德). The temple is also popular for its association with the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance which is a traditional event with a history of over one hundred years and was inscribed onto the third national list of intangible cultural heritage in 2011. The Fire Dragon Dance is held in the evening of the 14th, 15th and 16th of the eighth lunar month every year. The “fire dragon” (joss sticks are planted in a dragon-shaped form) is to be first blessed by Kwun Yam of Lin Fa Temple before starting the parade of the fire dragon throughout the Tai Hang area on the 14th of the eighth lunar month.
