The Director delivered the lecture CHINA THROUGH MEDIA to a large audience on 3rd March 2022.

This lecture was one in the China Centre Seminars. Previous lecturers have included Lord (Jim) O’Neill, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Professor Rana Mitter and Lord (Stephen) Green of Hurstpierpoint.

The lecture gave an overview of the legacy media system and its overseas operations as well as Social Media, but focussed particularly on drama and entertainment because of what they reveal to us about Chinese society and culture today. There were clips from exciting dramas about corruption in high places, family sagas exposing conflicts in modern urban life and tales of clashes between modernising officials and peasantry in poverty stricken Ningxia.

Zhejiang is a culturally rich province and Hangzhou, a former capital of China, an important centre of creativity and innovation. Screen talents from Zhejiang want to understand how they can plunge into the international market. They need both to develop stories and characters that could be successful in Anglophone and Chinese markets and understand the international platforms’ commissioning and distribution systems better. They want more opportunities to work directly with UK writers and producers.

On 26th March, China Media Centre was invited to make a presentation to the winners of Zhejiang’s 影视青年人才培养新光计划 Screen New Light Project. Screen New Light Project aims to support the local young screen directors, producers, and writers. Prof. de Burgh 戴雨果 and Dr Mi Miao 密淼 delivered 中国愿景中国故事如何吸引西方观众? Visions of China How can Chinese stories engage Western audiences?

They reviewed the political, commercial, and cultural factors behind international co-productions and shared thoughts on how better to tell stories of ordinary peoples’ lives to the world on screen. They identified some existing TV series as appropriate for remaking with Anglophone audiences in mind and examined past co-produced feature films to understand the reasons for their success or failure.

CMC makes training programmes on China for FCDO

In March 2021, China Media Centre was commissioned to deliver two one-hour educational programmes for The China Capability Programme run by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The two programmes are designed to improve the understanding of China by civil servants.  Professor Hugo de Burgh, Director of China Media Centre, interviewed 6 different experts on 2 subjects: The Governance of China and China and the International Rules Based Order. The interviews were edited by a former senior BBC news editor into two one-hour long programmes available through the International Academy’s training platform, accessible to civil servants across HMG. 

The FCO (as it then was) was the China Media Centre’s first client when CMC was set up in 2005, commissioning CMC to brief several hundred Chinese media handlers and official spokespersons on the roles of the media and journalism in British society and polity. Commissioned under the Public Diplomacy Challenge Fund, the project was managed by Professor de Burgh and Professor Ivor Gaber, then of Goldsmiths College.

These are the names of those interviewed for the 2020 project:

Dr. Kishore Mahbubani, former Singaporean Ambassador to the UN, Professor Tony Saich of Harvard Kennedy School, Professor Daniel Bell of Shandong University, Professor Jane Duckett of Glasgow University, Dr. Tim Summers of Chatham House and Bonnie Glaser of the Central Institute of Strategic Studies in the US participated in the programmes.

Nick Ross, one of the U.K.’s leading broadcasters, gave a lecture to Chinese media operatives undertaking a course in the China media centre today.

Nick Ross has been one of the most ubiquitous British broadcasters and his best known for hosting the BBC television show Crimewatch for 23 years. He has made many documentaries and major series for both television and radio. He is chairman, president, trustee or patron of a large number of charities.

In his talk to the Chinese broadcasters, who included Yu Jianfeng, Director of the Tianjin Jinyun New Media Group, and Zhang Chenxiao, Deputy Director of the Internet Department of the The National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA), he discussed his experience of reporting in Northern Ireland as having relevance to Chinese media reporting controversial and critical situations in China. He talked about the origins of our relatively free media but also of the limitations of that freedom in self censorship and BBC ideology. He said that we need a middle way between the British media’s determination to ferment controversy and the Chinese media’s damping down of controversy. He believes that while China over regulates its media and particularly social media, the UK has been discovering, as it grapples with pornography, poisonous ideologies and terrorism on social media that it has under regulated social media and has now to try to retrofit controls.

Abstract: China is one of a few communist countries to survive into the twenty-first century. The Chinese economy was on the verge of collapse in the 1970s mainly because of failures of the planned economy. After Mao Zedong’s death, China began to depart the classic Maoism and combined its political power with market forces to develop its economy, so-called the socialist road with Chinese characteristics. This Chinese development model has created the world’s fastest-growing economy and enormous global political influence. However, China’s high-speed economic growth began to decelerate in 2011 and will possibly continue to fall for years to come. Meanwhile, China faces great challenges from the mainstream of the international society. Is the China model losing power? Why? It is important especially for developed countries to address the questions in order to work with the rising power China and handle their domestic issues. This talk will discuss the domestic and international dimensions of the China model and present different perspectives to generate further discussion on the questions.

Chair: Professor CHANG Xiangqun

OPEN TO ALL

 

Abstract: Rapidly changing audience, audience habits and consumption patterns pose major challenges for all traditional media outfits. Market forces and changing audience aside, international media, especially traditionally public-funded international Chinese language media face its own unique set of challenges such as a political, cultural and commercial sensitivity, as well as blockage and market entry difficulties in Mainland China. How does an international Chinese media institution adapt and stay relevant in the digital world? In this presentation, the Editor-in-Chief of BBC Chinese Service Howard Zhang will share some of his observations and practical experiences on how the BBC as a whole as well as BBC’s Chinese language service are adapting to the digital world.

Howard Zhang

Officially appointed Editor-in-Chief of BBC Chinese in January 2017, Howard Zhang is tasked with transforming BBC Chinese into a service fit for the challenges of digital age.  He is a seasoned journalist who first joined the BBC back in 2000, with years of experience in field interviews, and in radio, TV and digital content production. Prior to joining the BBC, he worked for a number of media organisations in Canada.

Abstract: The first sentence of Chinese classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms says, “This world will separate after long time united. Also, will do the opposite after long time splitting.” Today’s world surfs too much separation: populism, nationalism and extremism…How to achieve unity in diversity? The Belt and Road Initiative and Community of Shared Future for Humankind as two coins of one silver of Chinese traditional he/he (和合, harmony) culture, were put forwarded by Chinese president Xi Jinping in recent years, to go beyond the European approach of high-standard (rigid uniformity; sovereignty transferring), US approach of exclusiveness and modern Human centered doctrine while seeking common or shared values of all nations, NGOs, etc. There are three dimensions to understand Community of Shared Future for Humankind: historically, activating shared traditions of lasting peace, common security; Presently, shaping common prosperity and open/ inclusive international system; in the future, building a green and sustainable world, seeking global dynamic consensus in AI revolution and global commons. The Community of Shared Future for Humankind is also rebuilding Chinese Communist Party from revolution to construction, from internationalism to globalism.
