Propaganda, Media, and Nationalism in Mainland China and Hong Kong
«Propaganda, Media, and Nationalism in Mainland China and Hong Kong presents a series of fine grained empirical analyses of theoretically chosen propaganda campaigns waged by the Mainland Chinese Government which clearly indicate the vastly different consequences such campaigns can achieve depending upon their political context. While the campaigns are quite effective on the mainland which lacks alternative media, they are ineffective in Democratic Hong Kong where independent media sources still thrive. The research starkly illustrates the overwhelming power of propaganda in modern authoritarian states.»

Propaganda, Media, and Nationalism in Mainland China and Hong Kong gives a clear and insightful introduction to the nature of media in China and Hong Kong and presents a conceptual discussion of propaganda. It presents two case studies of Chinese media control including the presentation of Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Tibet and the misrepresentation of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. This book also provides an important in-depth discussion of the battle between state propaganda and counter-propaganda in open societies, which can render them vulnerable to foreign governments, undermine civic society, and create dangerous polarization, as in the case of Hong Kong’s response to state media.

«A classic topic revisited through a compelling analysis of propaganda and media control/resistance in open vs. closed societies. A timely and important contribution to political communication and media studies.»
Huang Yu, Hong Kong Baptist University
«Drawing on multiple methods, Luwei Rose Luqiu has produced an insightful and penetrating analysis of how China’s nationalistic propaganda works and ceases to work. With Hong Kong in the picture, it makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the effects of state media as one travels from a closed to an open society.»
Joseph M. Chan, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
«Luqiu offers discerning perspectives into the interaction of propaganda, nationalism and news media in mainland China and Hong Kong after her decades of journalism practice in the regions and rigorous academic training in the United States. Her scholarly exploration contributes to the knowledge of the propaganda impact on global communities. »
