Beijing's Global Media Offensive is a major analysis of how China is attempting to build a media and information superpower around the world, and to use it to impact many countries' societies, media markets, politics, and economies. Joshua Kurlantzick traces the ways in which China is trying to build an information and influence superpower and critically examines the new conventional wisdom that Beijing has been extremely successful in these efforts. In some ways, he argues, China has built the foundations of a global media and information superpower, including global TV networks, social media platforms, global radio networks, apps, and the backbones of wireless and wired networking, but has yet to reap many gains from its efforts, and actually has alienated many other states.
