This discussion has long focused on domestic news at the national level. However, the implications of foreign news have seldom been explored. By examining the Hong Kong National Security Law, this article compares the world’s media interpretations of China. The findings show that (1) democratic regimes mainly reported negatively, but authoritarian regimes reported pluralistically, (2) democratic regimes largely framed the Security Law as China’s intervention and the justification of foreign assistance, but authoritarian regimes framed it as a matter of China’s internal affairs and countersanctions against foreign intervention in Hong Kong, and (3) both democratic and authoritarian regimes covered Western sanctions on China more than Chinese countersanctions on the West. The conclusion strongly supports the thesis that regime type is the most significant determiner of the reporting style adopted by foreign news organizations. This article focuses on an internationally controversial case study to understand the literature on perceptions of China and regime type.","PeriodicalId":46367,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Communication","volume":"15 1","pages":"324 - 344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83359820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article makes theoretical and practical contributions by showcasing the potential and plight of Wanda Group (Wanda). In particular, it examines the extent to which Castells’ network theory of power (1998, 2016) can be applied to a non-Western political economy. We use publicly available financial documents and an archive of more than 3,000 newspaper articles to examine how Wanda builds, exercises, and loses its switching power. While highlighting the primacy of the switcher as described by Castells, we demonstrate Wanda’s switching power is fragile, and its exercise remains constrained and contingent on the extent to which the company aligns with the interests of the Chinese state.","PeriodicalId":46367,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Communication","volume":"65 1","pages":"229 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80356497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Migrant workers are being drawn back to their rural homes by the techno-entrepreneurial prospects of live e-commerce being used as part of the “new farmers” branding. We examine how livestreaming platforms transform the labor process of rural produce sellers, zooming in on the physical work and transactional labor involved in the process of platformization. Analysis of the “new farmer” online workflow reveals not only insights into the economic logics of platformized labor but also shows important continuities in terms of sustained economic inequality and the perpetuation of the urban–rural divide. Such analysis prompts questions regarding what political and economic interests scaffold the “new farmer” narrative in contemporary China. How does platform capitalism reinvent itself in rural China, more specifically, through the agentic practices of Chinese rural live e-commerce practitioners? We conclude that platformization reproduces, rather than subverts, the subjectivities of e-commerce sellers and the power structures in which they are cemented.","PeriodicalId":46367,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Communication","volume":"46 1","pages":"250 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77546773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
