Since Xi Jinping took charge as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012 there has been much talk of a crackdown on press and other political and civil freedoms in China. But is it perhaps a case of “plus ça change , plus c’est la même chose”? Professor Anne-Marie Brady will discuss the trends in contemporary propaganda and thought work under the Jiang and Hu eras and then examine to what extent Xi’s initiatives are a continuance of previous policies and where they might reflect a new direction.
