Synopsis

Information and communication technology (ICT) has boosted economic development in China. To understand China's modernization, it is therefore necessary to consider the development of ICT. The book reflects how a catch-up country with a fast modernization process develops into a relatively modern country and the consequences of the fast development. It focuses on the development of media in China by examining the diffusion of ICT and providing a case study in an indigenous place to explore the modernization process. The book offers a new perspective to understand modernization and contributes knowledge to understand China's media, technology diffusion, indigenous culture transformation into modern culture and social changes.
