"Fills an important gap in both Chinese studies and media studies." NLisa Rofel, University of California, Santa Cruz "There is nothing currently comparable in English, and quite possibly in any language." NJohn Downing, Southern Illinois University "TV China is a very welcome addition to the limited number of major works dedicated to this topic. To varying degrees and adopting diverse approaches, individual contributors have updated and expanded our current knowledge of Chinese television...the volume has succeeded in filling a number of gaps, most notably in bringing together within one volume various approaches to the study of Chinese television as a cultural phenomenon that is at once national, transnational and diasporic. It is a welcome addition to the field, and students and researchers of Chinese media, culture and society, as well as television studies academics in general, should find the book a very useful reference." Wanning Sun, The China Quarterly, Sept 2009
