Description

Why does global media feel a need to denigrate China Why does discussion and analysis fall back on obvious tropes and polemics, when in reality China is raising living standards, developing its economy and introducing human rights. In this book, Maxime Vivas draws a picture of China from the perspective of the French media and Frances political class. He will also explore the ramifications of journalists who dare to stand out from the anti-China movement.
