Development of the Creative Industries in China

The current phase of our China research combines two strands. The first follows the development slogan From Made in China to Created in China. We continue to examine how, and under what conditions, creative industry and creative economy discourses are emerging in various locations in China and East Asia. The key sectors of interest are television, film, digital media (games and interactive content), design (urban, industrial and fashion) and advertising.

The second strand looks more closely at the changing policy environment. Specific areas include creative industry policies in various cities, intellectual property issues (including Creative Commons), creative education policies and creative clusters. This project links with the Federation Fellow program, the Creative Commons and Open Content Licensing project and Creative Workforce program.

The ‘China | East Asia | Media | New Media’ research confluence features a website dedicated to research on creative industries in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
