CNA China Studies -- In June 2004, CNA China Studies hosted a two-day conference on China’s media system. The conference took place early in Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao’s reigns as President and Premier of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). At the time, it was perceived that there was a potential for real and fundamental change in China’s approach to media governance. The conference itself was an effort to capture the full spectrum of economic, technological, and ideological change taking place in China’s media environment, the implications of such changes, and the potential for deeper reform in the coming years.
