communication between Chinese media and culture researchers in
Britain, and to discuss cultural difference, crossover, communication
and diversity among Western countries and China.
This conference is intended to facilitate the opportunity for
researchers on Chinese media and cultural studies to engage in
cross-cultural comparison and dialogue on the core issues of Chinese
