Some rather astonishing changes took place in the Chinese media landscape
in the 1990s with the advent of digital technology and the sudden
availability of a vast number of bootleg foreign entertainment disks.
The rapid and chaotic influx of so much foreign material into average
Chinese homes caught the Chinese government off guard, and necessitated
certain rapid and ad hoc adjustments to the general policy of combating
âspiritual pollutionâ. This development, combined with certain
features of Chinaâs system of information control has resulted
in a peculiar kind of âschizophreniaâ in the Partyâs treatment
of entertainment media. This article will try to trace the factors
that have led to this interesting state of affairs.
