Constructing a socialist cultural market in the post-World Trade Organization era
China’s film industry policies play a pivotal role in governing production, distribution and exhibition, shaping the industry’s development. This study empirically analyses 32 national film policies (2001–20) to trace China’s strategic shift towards a state-controlled socialist cultural market – a framework designed to counterbalance the cultural impact of China’s World Trade Organization (WTO) accession in 2001. By introducing the concept of the…
China’s film reward and penalty policy after its World Trade Organisation membership
Adopting a policy perspective, this study conducts a corpus-based critical discourse analysis of 39 national film policy documents (2001–2020) to examine how China’s film reward and penalty policies shape its industry. It explores how these policies linguistically and institutionally constructed a socialist cultural market in the post-WTO period. Drawing on the theoretical framework of the socialist cultural market, the research reveals the discu…
Navigating Cultural Influence in China’s Post-World Trade Organisation Era
This article examines the historical contexts that shaped the theory of the socialist cultural market in the late 1990s, when Chinese cinema experienced a dramatic decline. It offers insights for English-language theoretical and analytical studies on cultural and industrial governance, both in China and beyond. Through an analysis of academic literature and original policy documents, the study traces the chronological development of the socialist…
Cultural blueprints after China’s entry into the WTO
China’s cultural blueprints establish the foundational principles guiding the development of cultural policy areas, such as film, music, and publishing. Through a corpus-based analysis of five cultural Five-Year Plans (2001–2021) following China’s WTO accession in 2001, this article examines shifting priorities in ideology, economic growth, and reform. It introduces a novel conceptual framework – the socialist cultural market – to inform future r…
Securitising Biotic Risk
This article offers an in‐depth analysis of the meaning and scope of biosafety and biosecurity in China, thereby relating domestic debates to global developments, exploring notions of safety and security in public policy more broadly and embedding a key policy initiative, Chinaʼs new Biosecurity Law , into attempts by Chinaʼs leadership to develop a holistic national security strategy. The article finds that biotic threats have more recently been…
Optimal post-border surveillance against invasive pests to protect a valuable nature reserve and island asset
Harmful and often catastrophic damages from the introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) are widely acknowledged. While preventing the introduction of NIS through border and pre-border measures has been the first line of defence, post-border surveillance has recently attracted considerable attention as it increases the likelihood that small invasive populations will be found and eradicated quickly before they become widespread. We develop a n…
