AbstractThe Taiwan issue arguably represents the most important pan-Chinese issue in the world currently. This paper examines coverage of China’s 2005 Anti-secession Law–which aims towards halting movements towards independence in Taiwan–in China’s, Hong Kong’s and Taiwan’s newspapers. Centring and problematising the concept of political communities, this comparative research sheds light on the media systems of these three major Chinese countries. It finds evidence of the continued applicability of the propaganda model to the Chinese press, at least on politically sensitive issues. Hong Kong’s press shows signs of taking partial steps towards the Beijing line, though without a wholly unified political community there. Taiwan’s press shows simultaneous intense factionalism and attempts to open up a more detached political stance. This research points to a more complex relationship between politics and press content in Chinese areas than is often recognised. |
