The author shows how developments in Chinese art, design and media industries are reflected in policy, in market activity, and grassroots participation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Never has the attraction of being a media producer, an artist, or a designer in China been so enticing. National and regional governments offer financial incentives; consumption of cultural goods and services have increased; creative workers from Europe, North America and Asia are moving to Chinese cities; culture is increasingly positioned as a pillar industry. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But what does this mean for our understanding of Chinese society? Can culture be industrialised following the low-cost model of China’s manufacturing economy. Is the national government really committed to social liberalisation? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This engaging book is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in social change in China. It draws on leading Chinese scholarship together with insights from global media studies, economic geography and cultural studies.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  Michael Keane is Professor in the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology.
