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’.
