The new 2nd edition of this successful Handbook explores the growing and evolving field of Chinese media, offering a window to observe multi-directional flows of information, culture and communications within the contexts of globalization and regionalization.

Bringing together the research of an international and interdisciplinary team providing expert analysis of the media in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and among other Chinese communities, this new edition:

- Highlights how new social, economic, and political forces have emerged to challenge the production and consumption of media outputs

- Reveals how the growing prevalence of social media, such as WeChat and TikTok, continues to blur the boundary between online and offline, allowing state institutions to interfere in the lives of their users, and civil societies to mobilise and articulate their interests and grievances

- Outlines how the development of new communications technologies and their use by political and economic actors, journalists, civil societies, and diaspora communities contributes to the complex multi-directional flow of information, culture, and communications in the twenty-first century

Contributing to the growing and evolving field of Chinese media studies, this Handbook is an essential and comprehensive reference work for students of all levels and scholars in the fields of Chinese Studies and Media Studies.
