abstract = {This article provides a macro-perspective on China’s repositioning
in the global and regional cultural economy, and in doing so questions
the structural impact of past practices on future export aspirations.
Whereas most accounts of China’s media are predicated on top-down
control models, the article proposes a media development framework
appropriate to China’ s aspirations in the first decade of the twenty-first
century. The framework is most relevant to those creative content
industries in which sunk costs – that is, one-off costs of creative
content development – are more than 50 percent of total outlay. Starting
from a low base – and constrained by a legacy of state censorship
and widespread intellectual property abuse – China aspires to move
from ‘made in China’ to ‘created in China’.},
